Charlie Wilson's WarMike Rappaport

I caught this movie tonight, and found it quite enjoyable.  It is both funny and tells an important story.  The acting, especially by  Phillip Seymour Hoffman, was first rate.

That said, as one would expect from a Hollywood movie by Aaron Sorkin, there is some left wing bias in the movie.  Somehow, the story forgets that Ronald Reagan had something to do with funding groups resisting communism.  You know, that thing called the Reagan Doctrine. 

Still, I never expect to see a political movie that doesn't have liberal bias, and the bias in this one was not strong enough to spoil for me what was otherwise quite a fun film.

Heck, it's more than I expect if a movie reminds people that there was once the Soviet Union and we defeated it.
