Review: 'Lincoln' Is A Handsomely Shot, Immaculately Acted & Terribly Dull Historical Biopic | The Playlist

But for all of its finely calibrated performances (seriously, Spader is amazing), for all of its visual splendor (longtime Spielberg cinematographer Janusz Kaminski makes sure even candles throw off fat lens flares), "Lincoln" remains remote, hermetic, bloodless and antiqued. At 150 minutes, it's far too long, especially when the suspense-starved climax concerns the ratification of votes in a sequence so painstakingly detailed that it feels like it's happening in real time.

I am curious about that Schindler's List 20th Anniversary Blu-ray, but I don't think I can watch that movie again. It's too depressing.

Heard that. I sometimes find myself wanting to watch it again for Liam Neeson and Fiennes, but then I remember all the other stuff in it and decide it's probably best if I don't. Not that I own a copy that I could watch if I wanted, but... you know.
