    Last King of Scotland

    I recently watched this movie and it is very good. It is violent and Idi made many bad decisions and suffered paranoia during his tenure as ruler of Uganda. This awful paranoia prompted Idi and his government to murder 300,000 people in Uganda.

                My personal favorite (well.. that and Bloodsport)

                The soundtrack is bananas, The RZA's first soundtrack and he has yet to make a weak one...

                  Forest was also great in Last Light, a great movie starring him and Jack Baeur......er Keifer Sutherland. It's a very emotional prison movie, if you haven't seen it, check it out...

                      I've heard nothing but love for this movie. Love so strong, a mother could bear children watching it.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                        The bigger question begs to be asked: In what movie has Forrest Whitaker sucked?

                        None of which I can think. The guy is a HELL of an actor.

                        Take care,

                          Co-sign! He is so underrated and its good to see he's getting his due. I love watching him act for some reason.

                            Agreed.

                            @SPTO - That movie still trips me out. Funny thing is as old as it is, i saw it on some premium channel a couple years back not knowing anything about it, I just saw Forrest Whitaker was in it. Needless to say the twist has kept me from going back and watching it with perspective...

                              I did not like his role is Species so much, maybe it was just a bad movie in general. Time to play 6 degrees of Forrest Whitaker.
