My first comment

Okay, not really the first comment but the first one that requires a response.
Macaroni's birthday party was held at The Chatterbox Pub in St. Paul. We had a great time and besides the old school video games, they have really good food. Almost too good for bar food.







Netflix review: The Last King of Scotland



Five stars! Love this one. Forrest Whitaker so earned his Oscar. Excellent film about the man I grew up thinking was the devil, as my dad would probably still call him. And although the movie doesn't really change that impression it certainly shows another side to him. Makes him a real person, which is sort of scary. I almost wish I didn't know that the doctor was a fictional character, although it doesn't lessen the impact at all. And I do love me some Scottish boys...James McAvoy was brilliant. Everyone was brilliant. So good and creepy. I'm sure I was the last person to see this one, but if not watch it. It's good.

Forest Whitaker stars in an Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning role as brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in this drama. During an African medical mission in the 1970s, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) impresses Amin by acting swiftly in a crisis. Installed as the dictator's personal physician soon thereafter, Garrigan enjoys the perks of his new position, until he begins to become aware of Amin's inhumanity -- and his own complicity.
