The Last King of Scotland

[Obsidian]

It was in limited release starting yesterday. My city hasn't gotten it yet, but will eventually. Anyways, I can't wait to see it. Alot of people are raving about Forrest Whitaker's performance as Adi Amin.

so far, it's got a 91% at Rotten tomatoes:

I want to see this movie so bad, looks really good.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Movies help expand my horizons. If something looks interesting, and is based on history, I'll do research on the subject. I was reading about Idi Amin, and WOW, was he one ****ed up individual. Movie looks interesting, and I think Forrest Whitaker will do fine in the role.

 

[Shuley]

I think it opens wide at the end of November...I'll go see it.

 

[Wolfwood]

Damn Forrest Whitaker deserves more recognition, he was amazing in the Shield and he looks even better in this.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

^agreed. He's underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing this as well; this film was in development for a very long time, and I'm glad it was actually greenlit.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

Looks VERY interesting.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Yeah, I've seen the trailer. Looks really good. Just from the trailer it appears to me that Forest Whitaker gave an Oscar-worthy performance.

 

[tzarinna]

He was on Oprah promoting it and I saw some clips.
It's hardcore.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Looks pretty cool--can't wait to see it.

Links and/or description, please?

Oprah

Oprah

I feel less of a man now having clicked on that link and all for naught--I couldn't find any descriptions or clips.

 

[tzarinna]

Really...hmmm
Sorry, I thought there was something in those searches.
But that site is a great resource.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Oprah sucks. Forest Whitaker doesn't.

 

[tzarinna]

Oprah does not suck.

MaskedManJRK, you did look at the trailer in the first post?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yes she does. She is an egomaniac, spoiled, self-centered and an arrogant *****.

 

[tzarinna]

Yes, she is all those things but at least she has built /furnished homes for Katrinia victims and helping to get pedophiles off the street..**** the list goes on.

The woman has been through a lot.

I'm sure she's a cool lady and such, I just don't like her show--the only type of talk shows at that time of day should be the funny ones, like Maury or Jerry Springer, in my opinion.

Yes, I did--that was awesome. Are the clips any different than those?

 

[tzarinna]

I've only gotten into her this past 2 years,I was a Springer/Maury person. But that's gotten old,like me.

Don't know.
I was looking at like 3-4 trailers.

You obviously didn't hear about the time where she threw a fit over a store not letting her in because the store was closing. She even did a show on it and probably cost the company some business because Oprah didn't get what Oprah wanted. What a *****.

I just find it hilarious seeing the guys jump around and do victory dances that puts Tom Cruise's Oprah episode to shame when the find out they're not the father, and the stereotypical "sistah" saying she's "9 billion percent sure that he my babies daddy!" t:

Those people make me sad,arrested development at it's finest and there are so many people like that raising children.

Nope, didn't hear that. That is pretty b***hy of her.
