The Last King Of Scotland & The Holiday
Still going strong with DVDs.
The Last King Of Scotland
Erm... yeah... maybe I had too high expectations about it as everyone had screamed "masterpiece". No, really, it's okay... a good Hollywood biography, but I don't see anything amazing. I can't really judge if it's accurate historically as I'm totally ignorant about Africa in the 70's but at first view, there wasn't any HUGE mistake (after all, once you've survived Troy and Alexander, you can probably survive anything). Maybe a bit too caricaturing for my liking, but I realize it was hard to do it differently.
The Holiday
I was in the mood for some chick flick and some holiday movie (yeah, Christmas spirit's always stronger in November, for me; the closer it comes, the more Christmas depresses me...), so that was the obvious choice.
First, let's get things straight: it's stupid and hollow. But it's also a feel-good movie that I watched eating rice waffles and drinking hot tea (I'm doing this wrong, I know it's supposed to be ice cream and coke, but it's far too cold for that). It entertained me, and that's all I could ask from such a film.
Besides, let's be honest, I can watch anything if it involves Jude Law :D
