Seeing more of Josh Brolin
![Who knows how these things happen? Josh Brolin made his film debut in "The Goonies" and subsequently appeared in films for such directors as Woody Allen, David O. Russell, Paul Verhoeven and Guillermo del Toro, well on his way to a respectable but low-key career. Then, within the last few years, giving off a vibe of authentic-Americana masculinity largely missing from the man-boys of the multiplex, he began appearing in films of a markedly higher profile. Last year, Brolin was seen in "In the Valley of Elah," "American Gangster," "Grindhouse" and the eventual best picture winner, the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men." This year he appeared as George W. Bush in Oliver Stone's controversial "W.," and in Gus Van Sant's "Milk" he plays Dan White, the former firefighter, police officer and city supervisor who shot and killed San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and activist and politician Harvey Milk.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-01/44326280-06125155.jpg "Who knows how these things happen?

'W.' directed by Oliver Stone, stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Burstyn, James Cromwell, Richard Dreyfuss
![Unlike its subject, "W." can't win. At this point in the current administration, I doubt even Oliver Stone wants to see an Oliver Stone film about the life and exceptional good luck enjoyed (and squandered, if you agree with the filmmaker and his screenwriter, Stanley Weiser) by George W. Bush, depicted here as an epoch-shaping stumblebum who kept failing upward, and whose self-esteem and family issues made him who he is today.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-10/42928413-17042451.jpg "Unlike its subject, "W.\" can't win.
