A 21st Century Debasing, then Rehibilitating, of Abraham Lincoln

Over this past summer we witnessed what this blogger considers a profound, a money-grubber’s insult posed by "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" to the memory of this great man.

On the other hand, it is heartening that Lincoln's memory is rehabilitated, as it were, in “Lincoln” by the gravitas of Stephen Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis, of Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field and David Strathairn. It is as if Hollywood has delved deep within itself and called forth the very best it has to offer.

By all accounts Spielberg’s “Lincoln” will be well worth the wait!
