go and see (or rent if it's no longer in the cinema) the last king of scotland as it's fantastic. the movie is a part fact, part fiction story about the once president of uganda idi amin. forest whitaker deserves the oscar, just watch his eye twitch and his nostrils flare. the gore and the horror is mostly implied, which i can deal with...until the end. there are some definite cringe/hide your eyes if you're squeamish moments.
2 thumbs up!
it's all gone pete tong = it's all gone wrong
what a bizarre and suprisingly touching british movie! i suggest you go out and rent it. maybe i need to credit lydia with telling me about this flic....someone gave me the heads up ages ago but i can't recall who.
i also went to see confetti in the theatre the other day. another good british addition to the movie world. unless you know british sitcoms/tv shows you may not appreciate the comic genius involved. the best bit? the whole movie is completely improvised. some parts made me laugh out loud so hard i almost wet myself.
and finally a movie i won't be able to see, an inconvenient truth. it's playing in vancouver on the 9th of june at tinseltown and 5th ave theatre. but there is no european date as yet.
Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.please go and support it if you live in vancouver, or any other city it's playing in.
