The Last King of Scotland – Good portrayal of Idi Amin, with excellent acting by Forest Whitaker (he won an Oscar for this film.) Was a little Hollywood, particularly in the last third of the film, and it was hard to feel sympathy for the main character, Dr Nicholas Garrigan, because most of his problems were of his own creation. Still, a passable film, but it was no Hotel Rwanda. 7/10
Hot Fuzz – Brilliant film from the makers of Shaun of The Dead. Hilarious in so many ways, the cast was very similar to the previous film, and the witty dialogue just as sharp. Sargeant Angel is deployed to a small town, where there is a murderous crime wave right under everyone’s noses, but it all appears to perfect to be true. Very, very enjoyable. 9/10
Soprano’s Finale – okay, not really a movie. Anyway, after over 80 hours of Sopranos, we’ve finally reached the end. Hard to believe but it’s true. Most of series 6 was a little anti-climatic, but this final episode had some echoes of earlier seasons, such as the payback on Phil Leotardo. AJ’s easily bought out morale stance was classic wry Soprano’s, but overall I would have liked some more answers. You can leave a two hour film open ended, because there are only so many potential endings, but after six seasons, the possible closings are so numerous that it just leaves us feeling a little flat.
