I saw this over the weekend. Very nicely made. Forrest Whitaker accurately captured Idi Amin's strange concoction of charisma, eccentricity and lunacy. Anyone else seen it?

not seen it yet, but appreciate hearing what you thought of it. I plan to see it whenever/if ever it makes it to my little Hick-town....

I plan on it.

If you haven't seen it yet and you're a Whitaker fan, I highly recommend Ghost Dog. (One of Jim Jarmusch's best, IMO).

Word. Ghost Dog is great. I'm going to watch Down by Law (another great Jarmusch flick) this weekend with someone who has never seen it... she's in for a treat :)

I've not heard of Ghost Dog. is that a new movie, or can I find it at my local friendly Blockbuster?

Hi CM

You might be able to grab it at Blockbuster, but I wouldn't count on it. Here's the imdb link to the title http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/

Ghost Dog is amazing. Dead Man too.
I love how Jim Jarmusch fades to black at the end of each major section of the movie.
