Film: The Butler

Starring Forrest Whittaker
Bloody good film.
It's based on a true story and chronicles the life of a black butler taken on by the White House in the fifties and his rise and the troubles set by The black Panthers.
Really worth a watch.

Watched this a couple weeks ago - good film well worth a watch if only to remind us how bad things were for black people.

Hi flix,
I think it was very well done too, and Forrest Whittaker was pretty good in it.
It did show how awful they had it, and what an inspiring story - and a bloody interesting one for the Butler to tell his grandchildren!
I did find the Reagan administration a rather interesting one....

Vantage point is brilliant., Its about a bombing as seen from various characters viewpoint. A cracking thriller

Tried to find it on virgin films but couldn't?
Watched a film called All is lost with Robert Redford - a man lost at sea.
Let's just say we had to watch it over two nights as, after a few whiskeys, it wasn't interesting enough to keep us awake.......
The ending was good though, and not just because it had ended.
