You Must Rent/See "Angels in America"
Produced by HBO Films. Written by the genius Tony Kushner, and Directed by another genius, Mike Nichols. Right now, it's on HBO on Demand, and it's fantastic. Terrific performances from Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, and an outstanding performance by Jeffrey Wright. I strongly advise renting it because you will want to see scenes over and over again.

After watching it again last night, I remember living through those 8 years of Reagan, and now living through 12 years of Bush I and II, I'm still stunned that Obama is president.

1. I ended up buying it, it was so good.
Pacino was great, and I usually don't like him. What total scum.

2. The first half is fantastic...
...second part a letdown. Great performances all around except for that hack Meryl Streep.

5. I remember watching it when it first came out - the cast was amazing
I thought Mary-Louise Parker was absolutely stunning in the movie along with Jeffery Wright. I believe they both won Best Supporting Actor Emmys
