Advantages: Raises interesting questions Disadvantages: No DVD extras
I really like films which have a political and philosophical bent to them, and especially those which provoke thought, and this film, Last Supper, sounded like something I would enjoy, and I wasn't disappointed.
It's in essence a black comedy, although its humour is subtle. The plot of the film is that a group of people murder someone, but then discover that they were evil. This group of people, who to cut corners we will call left-wing, then decide that they could help out society and humanity by "removing" more evil people.
Of course, what defines evil is arguable, and that is one of the questions which is raised by the film. But this group of left-wingers invite each week a right-wing individual, for example, a homophobic individual with strong beliefs, to their dinner party, and if they decide that they are evil, then they are ...
Advantages: Great strong story, memorable characters, wonderful performances and a powerful film. Disadvantages: Plot at times a bit complex and I cannot remember the soundtrack.
Belonging to a film club I get to see a lot of films. In fact, watching films is one of my favourite pastimes. Recently I watched ?The Last King of Scotland?. It is a 2006 British drama film based on Giles Foden's novel.
It tells the fictional tale of Dr Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy). He is a young Scottish doctor who visits Uganda and meets with dictator Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker).

Advantages: Intense captivating storyline Disadvantages: Some 2D characters
I found this movie highly watchable. It contains some very good quality acting on behalf of Zach Braff throughout - featuring his usual Scrubs-like comedy lines. The movie doesnt however feature a few somewhat 2D characters who never really develop through the film.
The soundtrack was excellent featuring songs from snow patrol, which fitted the mood of the movie very well and kept the story fluid and moving quickly. I found the storyline thrilling but somewhat predictible because it was obvious from the start that Zach's character and his girlfriend would get back together by the time the hour and 1/2 was up. However, this predictiblilty is common in most romantic comedies and so was expected.
Overall, i found The Last Kiss very enjoyable viewing with some great comedy moments all the way through. I love Zach Braff's acting ...
