It's impossible to read all the printed word churned out by authors.

| Long Butlership in the White House |
A good filter would be when they are transferred into the film medium for a wider audience.
 |
| The Butler Ensemble |
 |
| Serving Eisenhower |
The Butler is one of these.
 |
| The Arrival of the Ill-Fated Kennedys |
It chronicles the life and times of a share-cropper son who started life in a lawless cotton plantation who worked himself into a exclusive hotel butler position and finally landed in the White House to serve US Presidents ranging from Eisenhower right up to Ronald Reagan.
It also sub-plots his family from his hard-drinking wife played by Oprah Winfrey to his two sons.
 |
| The Kennedys |
As a true testimony of life in America, it chronicles the segregationist era, the Southern state violence culminating in the death of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King , the rise of the Black Panthers, the Watergate scandal and the heralding of an Afro African Barack Obama into the White House.
 |
| Living in Troubled Times |
Forest Whitaker was awesome in his role as Cecil. Winfrey played her role well too.
 |
| Yaya Decosta the Eye Candy |
Interesting to watch are the stars who played the Presidents and First Ladies such as Robin Williams as Eisenhower, James Marsden as John Kennedy, Minka Kelly as Jackie,Jane Fonda as Nancy, Liev Schreiber as Johnson, John Cusack as Nixon and Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan.
For me, it a good movie even though it did not get support for the Academy Awards this year
