Oliver Stone's W

So yeah... The guy used to be so damn great too. It's almost too damning for himIt's pretty much it and to review a movie, that I've seen probably in theaters for 7 $, it couldn't have gotten any better than here or there. But of course, being an Oliver Stone fan, since probably forever. I couldn't help but notice the decline that he had over the years.
