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.

I've found a lot of interesting movies by following the careers of various actors. I've found I have a fondness for Canadian indie films that way.

Purple Toast and Frank's Cock are great underground short films (anyone in the DS comms should be able to hook you up)

I thought Masterminds was a fun, fun movie...it's typical light fare (plus, Ollie is HOT)

Men with Guns is, um, hard to watch, but his character's aptly psychotic.

Suspicious River is VERY hard to watch, but it's brilliant...plus, Don S. Davis and Michael Shanks are in it :)

David Hewlett's movie The Life Before This has both CKR and Mrs. Paul Gross :P

Flower & Garnet and Falling Angels tend to blend together for me because they have the same feel, but both are fantastic.

And speaking of Callum, you should watch his season of Californication (this season).

Callum appears briefly in Snowcake (a total of about 5 minutes, but he broke my heart) with Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver, and Whole New Thing, both of which are excellent movies. I had to watch the last half hour of WNT between my fingers, but that was 'cause of my issues. *g*

Also, Hugh Dillon has a large role in Down to the Bone, which is bleak and weird and good, and he is excellent in it.

ETA: Sorry to hear about your foot! And the return to work (I have to go back today, woe!).

Sounds interesting. I'll have to add this (and the other two you mentioned) to my list.
