Iron Lady is worth a look. I just saw a preview screening. [View all]

Meryl Streep was fantastic, as usual, but the thing that struck me was how close the situation of Britain was to the U.S. now. High unemployment and debates about whether to spend or cut back. Then the decision to cut, (from Thatcher) and the violent rioting in the streets.

Talk of the rich getting richer and the poor becoming irrelevant.

Also she pushed for a flat tax. The exact same tax for everyone, poor or rich and her character was convinced it was the right thing to do. Sheesh.

Very good film.

It will be out December 30.
