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). On meeting Idi Amin he soon becomes his personal physician and this is where the story begins. The film is based around actual events of Amin's dictatorship.
The film begins in Scotland 1970 when Nicholas Garrigan graduates from medical school. The young man has no idea of the events that are about to take place in his life. He has no idea how his work will change history or where he will end up. Maybe if he did know then he wouldn't choose ...
Advantages: hilarious, Atkinson is a comedy genius Disadvantages: only 3 episodes, expensive way to get the whole set
Having only made 13 episodes you would think it would be easy enough to release the wholebox set as a complete and more cost effective production. But no, because we are english, we are 'rich' and can afford to splash out on the indivual DVD's, and of course we can wait whilst each is brought out at two month intervals. However if you live in america you get one whole box set, straight away, and before we even get our measly volume one with only 3 episodes on it. Arrgh. Appologies for the rant, but it's a good introduction as to why I have had to review one volume at a time. I do hope you enjoy reading about it.
As I'm sure the name Mr Bean will ring bells striaght away. He's the clumsy whimsical character which delighted so many with his mishaps in the 90's. I had to buy this as soon as I knew it was released. I love Mr Bean ...
