Last Night

[kaaatie]

I watched Last Night last night, and I really enjoyed it. When you're obsessed enough to watch everything that your favourite actors have been in, you regularly come across some great movies. For example, if not for my "thing" for CKR, I'd never have experienced Wilby Wonderful, Hard Core Logo or Last Night. Does anyone recommend any other Callum movies?

Last Night is a movie about what a bunch of people do on their last night on Earth, when they've known for months that the world is going to end.

It reminded me a little of 200 Cigarettes, which is about what a bunch of people do on a New Years Eve. In the same way as Last Night, there are multiple story lines that connect in various ways throughout the movie. I usually really like movies and TV shows that do that.

So anyway, it was a very good movie. Sandra Oh was brilliant, Don McKeller did a great job, and Callum Keith Rennie got nekkid!

Callum's character was pretty hilarious; he spent his last couple of months compiling a comprehensive list of all of his sexual fantasies, and he spent his last months on Earth attempting to make his way through the list!

In other news, I've hurt my foot, and I'm currently limping everywhere. And I have to go back to work tomorrow. :( These holidays have gone far far too quickly. On the plus side, I only have 15 work days till I have another week off!

I looove Last Night! It's one of the reasons I'm so much in awe for Don McKellar (the others being Twitch City and him being Darren Nichols in Slings & Arrows). I adore this man. ♥

The kitchen was awesome, wasn't it? Creepy and awesome at the same time.
And I loved all these awkward moments there were between Craig and his different partners. (Also, the kiss!^^)
Also, he's got the saddest line in the whole film.

Speaking of Don, did you like Bindness? I liked that the Paul Gross Acting Troupe were in it, but I felt like Don could have written it a bit better.

To be honest I haven't watched it yet. I have this quirk that if a film is based on a book I want to read the book first, and right now I'm only half way through the novel.^^;

Twitch City and Slings and Arrows are both on my list of things to watch too.

Yep, I loved that scene in his kitchen. He was so proud of his accomplishment! And yeah, I loved the pre-bedroom moments with his partners. I loved the way he asked them, "Can I get you a drink? I have drinks".

Which line is the saddest?

When Patrick walks out of the door and automatically says "See you later", and Craig answers totally calm and matter-of-fact-like: "No you won't".
That was the only time during the film where I felt a sting in my stomache - which is astonishing if you bring yourself to mind that it is a film about the end of the world.

Ahh, yes. That line is very sad. And Callum played it very well.
