    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/last_king_of_scotland/ I cannot wait for this movie to be in rental stores...It was not widely released but it's gotten amazing reviews, the performance by Whittaker is said to be great...Watch the trailer...It's about Idi Amin and how he destroyed Uganda, killed hundreds of thousands and ruled the country with an iron fist. :no1:

    Yeah, I saw the previews for this about a month ago and thought it looked quite good. Like you said, Whittaker looked good in it. I'll probably go see it if it comes to Lubbock.

    I saw this when they previewing movies for the upcoming year. Oscar nominees supposedly wait for Whitaker for his performance. Is this one of those limited screening movies that never see theaters near you and just arrive on dvd shelves out of nowhere?

    I first heard about this movie in August and have been looking for it to be released, because it does sound like an awesome movie.
