Movie Reviews of The Last Supper
Movie Review: A Machiavellian Menu?
Summary: 5 Stars
It was a dark and stormy night when five liberal graduate students in Iowa meet for Sunday dinner and find that in an excess of gratitude (for providing a ride to one of their members) they have invited a right-wing nut case to join them. Before dinner is over, the guest has pulled a knife and threatened several of the students, and in a move that is obviously defensive but not self-defense, one of the students delivers a knife to the back of the guest, who then dies. Contemplating their options, the students determine the best course is to dispose of the body in the backyard. As they debate the "how the liberals talk and talk and don't do anything" (except that they did) the opportunities for future dinner "dates" and just a bit of arsenic in the wine becomes a reality. As the plants in the backyard flourish with the new fertilizer, the sheriff is becoming curious, the students are nervous and on edge - and the very Last Supper delivers a truly Machiavellian twist.
Did the choice of title chase away the intended audience? Perhaps that is the explanation for why this film is so little known. Save it for a dark and stormy night, and be ready for a surprise.
Movie Review: Want to see everyone "get their due?"
Summary: 5 Stars
An entertaining weekend movie, though it has moments that make you feel like you are putting yourself through it!Five liberal grad students' favorite activity is dinner with a stranger-they enjoy the copmany of a guest they disagree with, over one of Cori's homecooked meals. We begin the movie with the night that dinner went wrong. After a guest too conservative for the conservatives (it was later revealed that he was more evil that they imagined)is killed, they decide to save the world by eliminating hosts of ultra-conservative, prejudiced and/or ignorant people.
Naturally, everything unravels...after one ignorant guest finds their liberal opinions convincing, they get nervous and quickly convince him not to change his mind, hence another body in the back yard. The meals get simpler (the fancy meals shrivel up into unembellished white bread sandwiches), the garden becomes a jungle (each grave is covered with tomato plants, a cover-up), and the blood (and tomatoes!) is everywhere!
Yes, I am biased to recommend this. I love all the point-of-view shots and humor that makes fun of everyone from every view point. Yes it's funny-if not QUITE sick!
Movie Review: liberals decide death
Summary: 5 Stars
The title, The Last Supper, is why I decided to buy it after reading the reviews. Dark humor has bleeding-heart save-the-whales liberals decide that the opposite would help society. Relevant to what we have in the news today: who would take the chance to change history using deadly force, believing that it would never be known: Arsenic and Old Lace amongst friends, who disagree, watch each other's actions with surprise, and find that it's within each as to what choices are made. Buy both to watch the dark humor of 1944 compared to 1996.Movie Review: Haunting, and thought provoking...
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Intellectual Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Group of intellects create their own moral dilemma. I saw this movie years ago and it's been one of my all time favorite conversation pieces. If you like intelligent conversation, and always think you're right... SEE THIS. Cameron Diaz is a minor player in this cast of majors, but she does the job. The one to look out for is "Hellboy". Enjoy. And then remember it the next time you have a dinner party.
