The Last Leprechaun (DVD)

Leprechaun?

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: Poor production

In 2000 the then 18-year-old Houston, Texas underground rapper Lil' Flip released his independently-released debut album entitled "The Leprechaun". Now big in the game at a time when not only the Southern rap scene has become part of the mainstream of Hip Hop , but also H-Town scene specifically, things have progressed significantly, and so looking back it shows just how things have come. 1. "Da Freestyle King" (Intro) 2. "I Got" Getting this thing underway, you have a track which has him starting things in a way which have him doing it all in a manner which contrasts significantly from the hardcore Gangsta Rap which we now know Houston for as this one as him doing it in a rather simplistic and cartoony manner, but it seems relevant when you consider the concept behind the record. **Three Stars** 3. "Everyday" You have him ...

Raises interesting questions - The Last Supper DVD

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.

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 ...

Never Trust A Rich Stranger - The Last King Of Scotland DVD

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 ...
