Summary: Eat... drink... and be buried...
Review: I loved this movie! It was original, surprising, funny, shocking...BRILLIANT - and the ending...its rare that a movie has such a neat ending! The story centers around 5 Liberal left winged grad students who enjoy getting together and having a meal, while discussing current events & political opinions w/ guests. But it turns into a dangerous game when they accidentally kill a racist dinner guest. (Played by Bill Paxton - what a switch from the roles he usually plays!!) After that, they began to invite over people, and if they don't agree w/ their beliefs, they poison them. Its sounds a little kooky but the way screenwriter Dan Rosen puts the story together is amazing. I don't recommend this movie for younger viewers; just because I don't think they would understand it - you have to be familiar w/ Liberals vs. Conservatives, right wing vs. left wing, etc. to understand the movie. I loved each and every one of the characters esp. Courtney B. Vance and Cameron Diaz! (this was one of Miss Diaz's first movies) It has some awesome cameos too! (Jason Alexander from "Seinfeld" plays one of the victims) On top of all that the soundtrack is GREAT too (a lot KC & The Sunshine Band, and dance music) I recommend you pick this movie up...it's a wickedly amusing dark comedy that will have you laughing all night!

Summary: Something's afoot....
Review: I really enjoy this movie. I watch it all the time. But recently I read the cast list, and it contained people that were not in my version of the movie. "Immigrant hater?" "Skinhead?" "Young Jude?" I didn't see any of these characters in the movie--is there more than one version?

Summary: Independently Stupendous
Review: I saw this movie at a point in my life when I was absolutely fed up with big-budget Hollywood movies and was looking for something...different. And this movie definitely qualifies as different. It's intelligent political humor and its not-so-subtle commentary on the effects of youthful idealism are actually entertaining rather than tiresome and preachy. Even the overly simplistic representation of the tomatoes for blood, which is most apparent when you see the clear tomato-filled jars lining the shelves, didn't feel like a glaring attempt at cinematic sophistication, but is instead realized and relished. This movie is a welcomed break from the cliched explosive action flicks and ho-hum romantic comedies appearing so frequently on the big screen. It would appeal to anyone who can think of a few people this world could do better without...and we all can name a few, right?

Summary: What if...
Review: I'm thinking, "What if I didn't waste time watching this trash, disguised as entertainment?" Would I have done something more productive? I think, yes. Even if I spent the entire time banging my head against the wall for the whole time, it would have been a far better endeavor than watching this trash. While ultimately this film tries to make you think about tolerating the opinion of the next person, it conducts its' lesson by creating conservative stereotypes as manifested by left-wingers. So if the roles had been reversed, liberals would be screaming about this film years later. But since the Hollywood community is controlled by left-wingers, you don't hear a peep out of anyone in that industry about the horrible personalities created by this film. The sad thing is that the characters created in this film are really how Hollywood sees conservatives. Left-wingers actually create these people and truly believe that this is the way conservatives think and act. Of course, conservatives don't think and act as depicted in this film but left-wingers don't understand this point. This is the main reason why liberalism is a dying idealogy in the U.S. It's an idealogy that just doesn't get it. It creates enemies that don't exist and in fighting these imaginary enemies, their real opponents walk away the victor. This might have been a good film if the "conservatives" in the film were real. That their opinions were those of real conservatives. But the problem would have been that the liberal characters would have been seen in a far worse light than just murderers; they would have been seen as irrational lunatics that can't see reason. And that's not what the director was trying to show. The idea was to show liberals as being well-intentioned yet mistaken in their methods. If they had done the film correctly, conservatives would be invited to supper, they would have explained real-world thinking to the liberals, and the liberals would have killed the conservatives simply because they could not grasp what mainstream America already embraces as its' philosophy. But, again, this would have taken the film in too far of a supportive perspective of conservatives and that's certainly not acceptable to the producers of this poorly conceived tripe.

Summary: Haunting, and thought provoking...
Review: Imagine you had the chance to go back in time to the 1920's and you met a young German Artist by the name of Adolf Hitler, what would you do? This movie deals with that question and the question of those we think are the NEXT Hitler. Each Grad student represents a liberal philosophy, distinguishing which is entertaining. I love the idea that what may seem the right thing to do in someone's mind agitates their inner darkness to surface. You will re-examine political and social philosophy after watching this movie.

Summary: I'm So Full I Could Just Die...
Review: It's dark satire at its best in this little seen masterwork. Five grad-student liberals decide to rid the world of "Future Hitlers", (conservatives who may harm the world in the future) by inviting them to dinner and, basically, kill them. That's if they can't change their minds, of course. Although it is unsettling at times, the film is great. The cast is great, especially Vance, Gish, Diaz and Perlman. The scripting is well done and the concept just makes you wanting more. Don't rent it, buy it. And then wait impatiently until it comes out on DVD.

Summary: Who painted the last picture?
Review: Last Supper is an extremely dark film about a group of liberal, artistic hippie/yuppies who decide to make the world a better place... by killing people whose opinions they find repugnant at their weekly gourmet dinners. (This is sure to please liberal folks who are too inhibited to do such things.) The movie is really an exploration of morality, with the implication that there is no clear difference between right and wrong- there's an awful lot of muddy in-between territory. The acting was pretty good, although some of the characters seemed a bit, uh, stereotypical. But this movie isn't for everyone, as there is more talk than plot. (But it is good talk. These folks really do have a lot to talk about.)

Summary: Dinner's Served
Review: Now here's a little film that DVD will surely help to bring to a more mainstream audience. Previous to gaining a small cult following on video, The Last Supper was released in a very limited basis in the spring of 1996 and made just under a half a million dollars. American audiences just aren't quite keen on films like this, and it came out before it's most recognizable star, Cameron Diaz, hit it big time. But the writing and direction are, for the most part, excellent considering that Stacey Title and Dan Rosen have done little else since. Certainly all of the above, and perhaps a too uncanny premise similar to Shallow Grave surely led to the undoing of The Last Supper.
While not nearly as entertaining or interesting as Shallow Grave, this one will please folks looking for a dark thriller, one that has its share of comedic elements but is far more of a sinister farce. The plot: One of five grad student roommates is late for their Sunday night dinner. He arrives, having been picked up from his broken down vehicle, minus one dinner guest, but plus one rescuer. The driver stays for the feast. The five friends soon learn that this visitor has some seriously different and insulting beliefs. Things get out of hand and lead to a new Sunday night dinner tradition. This tradition involves an invitation being extended to an unsuspecting individual who the hosts believes might be better off dead. During dinner, the sanctimonious students decide if this caller should be saved... or poisoned. If the cast looks familiar, that's because they almost all went on to bigger, more recognizable roles. It's certainly an impressive ensemble: Cameron Diaz, Ron Eldard (Ghost Ship, Black Hawk Down), Annabeth Gish (X-Files, Double Jeopardy), Jonathan Penner (White Palace, Bloodfist VII), Courtney B. Vance (Space Cowboys, Cookie's Fortune), and Nora Dunn (Saturday Night Live, Three Kings). The performances are all decent, but are as forgettable as many of their other roles. However, the real stars of this show are the guests, with cameo and bit parts by the likes of Bill Paxton, Charles Durning, Mark Harmon, Jason Alexander and Ron Perlman. Unless you're a part of this film's small cult, you'll probably have the most fun playing Who's Who? with The Last Supper.
