Wow.....just, Wow!!!

I was literally trembling at the sight of Forest Whitaker's Idi Amin. I always wondered what it would be like to watch a movie that would truly make my heart pound - that happened tonight.
Both Whitaker and James McAvoy are incredible when it comes to acting with just their eyes - but make no mistake, that is not all that's going on here. IMO, both men deserve an Oscar, just like Hoffman and Voight should have won in '69 for Midnight Cowboy. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Bravo to all involved. The first must see of 2006. And I've still got Little Children and The Departed to see this weekend.
