A very significant date, March 4, 2013, passed virtually without notice. It was on that date that President Obama's tenure exceeded that of Abraham Lincoln. We can all give thanks to God, of course, that Mr. Obama's term in office has not been cut short, as Lincoln's was, by a heinous act of political violence.

Obama Plays Daniel Day Lewis Playing Obama
Daniel Day Lewis is famous for really inhabiting his roles. On the set of his latest film, “Lincoln,” Lewis lived as Abraham Lincoln 24/7, and the same goes for his characters in ”There Will Be Blood” and “Last of the Mohicans.” So it makes total sense that in Steven Spielberg’s latest biopic, “Obama,” Lewis would really [...]

Lincoln Blu-ray Review! By Michelle
Lincoln is now available on Blu-ray/DVD in a simple, but elegant looking package.
