Kinsey

A superbly acted, well written and often funny look at the life of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey. My grade: A-

Synopsis: Alfred Kinsey, who in 1948 irrevocably changed American culture and created a media sensation with his book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male." Asking thousands of people about the most intimate aspects of their lives, Kinsey lifted the weight of doubt and shame from a society in which sex was hidden, and knowledge was dangerous. His work sparked one of the most intense cultural debates of the past century - a debate that rages on today. (via Yahoo)

Director and Writer: Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters)
Stars: Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), Laura Linney (The Truman Show), Peter Sarsgaard (Garden State), Chris O'Donnell (Vertical Limit), John Lithgow ("3rd Rock From The Sun"), Timothy Hutton (The General's Daughter), Oliver Platt (The Three Musketeers), Tim Curry (Legend)

Useless trivia: In the script, Peter Sarsgaard did not have to strip in the motel scene.
