Keep it coming Eli Roth ("Hostel").
Hostel: Part II, the second film in his torture series is much better than the first. Sure, the gore has been turned down, but the filmmaking and story are superior. This time, the story follows three girls as they go to Slovakia for a nice spa retreat. But this time, the men paying to do the killing are also shown. Nice touch. Excellent ending.
Forest Whitaker ("Ripple Effect") won an Oscar for his portray of dictator Idi Amin in director Kevin Macdonald ("Touching the Void")'s
The Last King of Scotland. Whitaker really is amazing as he disappears into this role. And it's about time he got the recognition he deserves. However, his costar, James McAvoy ("Penelope") is also strong as the young Scottish doctor taken in by Amin's charisma. The film did a good job of showing how Amin could be both a great man and a crazy guy. The scenes where Amin's paranoia creeps in are some of the best in the film. Brutal at times to watch. But utterly fascinating.
