Films by Mike

I've recently seen some excellent films -but I always say that!

Blood Diamond...fab performance by Lionardo - better than The Departed performance in my opinion. The flawless S African accent and generally excellent acting give a weight to the bad guy turned good character. A tough, sometimes gruelly action movied with a redemptive message and a 'salvation thru sacrifice' story line.

Last King of Scotland....again brilliant acting - this time Forest Whitaker. For anyone watching these two films with half a soul its clear that Africa is the great battlefield of the Spiritual Powers right now - watching them makes you want God to win!

On a lighter note...The Greatest Game Ever Played and Music and Lyrics are real fun. The first the true story behind an amazing golf game between an unheralded amateur and the Tiger Woods of the day Harry Varden - really good. The second is a 'laugh out loud' comedy with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore -very funny in the usual quirky Hugh Grant way!
