Just Like Woodward and Bernstein

Lisa: This is so cool Bart, we're just like Woodward and Bernstein.

Bart: Yeah, except their dad wasn't waiting in the car reading Archie Comics.

Homer: Stuck up Riverdale punks, think they're too good for me.

I saw All the Presidents Men last night starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. It is a terrific film about the team of Woodward and Bernstein who worked for the Washington Post during the Watergate scandal in the early 1970's, which forced President Richard Nixon to resign from office.

Although some parts were boring, considering that there was no explosions or action, All the Presidents Men was very entertaining with just dialogue and a well written story behind it. Look for Meredeth Baxter, who played the mom on Family Ties and Steven Collins, who played the father on 7th Heaven in small roles.

A must see if you like political thrillers. 9/10!
