Movie Haiku:Guilty pleasure for Rich but mostly a pedantic bore for Jan, LINCOLN plods thru the last year of the Civil War with a zillion speaking parts but hardly anyone to really care about. Everyone is so weighed down in "historical accuracy" that they might as well be wax-works; only Jones & Pace show signs of life. Surely the real Lincoln must have had some palpable charisma?!?
