This one somehow got by me when it came out. I don't even remember seeing a trailer for it before getting the DVD. But I must say, after watching it (the unrated version), I found I enjoyed it very much. I do think it has a bit of a slow start... but it definitely picked up for me... and by around the half-way mark I was completely hooked. There is a few very good laugh out loud moments here. I recommend checking it out if you never seen it.

Milk, a review by Rich

Title: Milk

Runtime:122
Certificate:15
Year:2008
Genres:Drama

Plot:My Review:
Fascinating biopic of a courageous man, who stood up not only for himself and his beliefs, but for those beliefs and rights of his fellow citizens, and was so tragically murdered with his supportive mayor by an unexpected assassin.
Penn is simply brilliant in this, he is surely one of the best actors of our generation? His sympathetic portrayal of Milk, a flawed, complex workaholic with personal relationship disasters aplenty, is refreshingly open and never tries to portray the civic leader as any kind of saint. Some of the supporting cast do not seem quite so sexually comfortable in their roles as gay activists, but the film, with the backdrop of Harvey narrating his 'just in case' memoirs to a tape recorder, is so smoothly paced and of overall interest that you can excuse the odd poor performance.
A painful journey, and a tearful ending, but a great educational and entertaining movie to inspire hope.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

Witness
I liked this episode. I liked seeing Fraser in prison, and how even there his manners and politeness helped in the end. I also thought the scene where Ray and Fraser were discussing the movie was pretty funny

Ray "If it were a good movie it would be in color"  Sound familiar Pete?
