Wednesday's Movie of the Week

The Last King of Scotland
Directed by: Kevin Macdonald
Starring:
Forest Whitaker
James McAvoy
Kerry Washington

I'll admit, before the Oscars I had barely heard of of this movie, and certainly had no desire to sit down and watch it. But after seeing it for the first time, one thing is for sure, Forest Whitaker was deserving of the award for "Best Actor". I have no idea what the real Idi Amin was like, but the character portrayed in the movie is a blast to watch. He's charming enough to get on your good side, but at the same time, unpredictable enough to keep you scared.
(There is a scene or two that aren't for the squeamish, so you have been warned ahead of time.)

My Overall Rating: 4.0/5
