The Last King of Scotland (2006)
Whitaker at his best!
I enjoyed this a lot! Great performances fro James Mcavoy & Forrest Whitaker. Based on the real life dictatorship of President Amin. A fictional Scotish doctor travels to Uganda and ends up being the physician and advisor to Amin. From what I have read the majority of this film has a historical basis. Which makes me love it in more
Survivors Guide to Prison (2018)
Right message wrong execution
This documentary has the right message but it's goes the complete wrong way about it.
The basic story is people who were innocent going to prison because the justice system is backwards in America. The stories and opinons from former inmates, lawyers ect are great. However it's shot like a low budget music video and getting celebrities to talk about the prison system isn't great when they are clearly reading off of auto cues. Having someone like Dann Trejo and a member of MC5 who have been to prison does it credibility. However all that is taken away when people like Macklemore and Patricia Arquette are trying to tell me how hard prison is....
Also one of the guys may have been innocent of his original crime, however stabbing someone in prison to protect yourself kinda takes away from the message
