RocknRolla.
Must say the film is very impressive. I'd advise any fan of Lock, Stock, as well as Snatch, to take a peek - you won't be disappointed.

Persona non grata
Frost/Nixon
Not as audience pleasing as(odds on Oscar favorite) Slumdog Millionaire but imo a better movie.
Ron Howard offers up a terrific example of how to turn a smart Broadway play into a movie without ruining it and really it's the movie's intimacy that elevates it.
From nervous tics that betray Frost's bravado, to the slightest of eyebrow raises that mark Langella's Oscar-worthy performance.
Most of the press the movie as gotten has gone to Langella.He does not try to impersonate, nor does he ever say anything Nixonian like "let me make one thing perfectly clear." Langella's Nixon is all about the intelligent eyes, the suspicion, the sizing-up.
But it is Michael Sheen as Frost however who moves the narrative.
More than mere ambition Sheen's Frost craves recognition of his worth a desire belying his lounge-lizard come-ons to women and the light televised banter that was his forte.
In the end, however, Frost/Nixon is about sweat - Nixon's of course, and more tellingly, the unflappable Frost's when he realizes he is losing on two sides, commercially and in the interview chair.
Seldom have two people talking packed such a punch.
Shovel Ready
As much as I enjoyed this film (and thought your review was quite accurate and eloquent), I think Frost/Nixon is a "generational" movie...those old enough to have lived through the era will enjoy it much more than their younger companions.
The film assumes knowledge of the framework of the times- for instance, why it was important to get Nixon to admit wrongdoing or how/why Frost was considered to be so seriously outmatched by Nixon (prior to the interviews).
About Ron Howard...
The most interesting comment I've read about this film is that Howard was the perfect choice for director because he has no identifiable personal signature.
Unlike more heralded directors, RH has no quirks (except for constantly casting his brother in bit parts) or tells...he is essentially transparent.
Given the two major talents he had to work with, his lack of style let the actors get on with it and the end result is a testament to what a "workman" can achieve.
Finally, Michael Sheen.
How is it that one guy can be Tony Blair, David Frost AND a werewolf- and be great in each role?
He's amazing.
