Hollywood can do better, and some of this year's Oscar nominees prove  
that: Munich, Syriana, Good Night, and Good Luck, and A History of  
Violence -- especially Munich.  You may not like Munich's politics,  
but you can't say that it doesn't know where it's about and where it  
sands.  Tony Kushner had a great influence on Steven Spielberg!
