Question: well i 'll be damned .
.. the canadians can make a good movie .
the world is coming to an end .
we do n't know why or how , but apparently there is no way to stop it .
the world has had this information for months , as most of the rioting and other assorted chaos has passed and governments have shut down operations .
yet for a handful of toronto citizens , life goes on .
they are n't going crazy or attacking people in the streets .
instead they are simply preparing themselves for the end .
.. some engaging in activities they 've always wanted to do , some gathering with family and friends , and others just seeking to be alone .
these people 's lives however all intersect during their final six hours .
writer - director - star don mckellar has crafted a highly unique and emotional film .
all of the main characters are compelling as they try and do whatever it is they need to do on their last night on earth .
craig ( callum keith rennie ) tries to fulfill all his sexual fantasies , a gas company employee ( david cronenberg ) calls every customer letting them know the gas will be flowing until the very end and thanks them for their business , and patrick ( mckellar ) just wants to be by himself but is n't having much success .
even minor characters keep popping up where you least expect them to , tying everyone even closer .
things seemed a little hokey towards the beginning of the film , but ultimately everything comes together nicely
( although it 's not a happy film .
.. some moments are understandably gut - wrenching ) .
the story is enhanced by some unexpected humor and very realistic performances , particularly from sandra
oh , whose character is just trying to get home to her husband before
the end .
i have absolutely no problem that the reason for the end of the world is never given , nor does it bother me that the world is ending at exactly 12 midnight ( in toronto anyway ) .
but i do wonder why the sun never sets .
come midnight , the sun is still shining brightly .
maybe the sun is crashing into the earth .
.. who knows .
also , it 's comforting to know that in mankind 's final moments on the planet , people will still gang up on the street for the sheer purpose of pushing over a car or a bus ( that 's not a shot at this film mind you .
..
i know people are just stupid and truly would be out in the street tipping over cars ) .
last night is available on dvd from universal home video .
it contains the film in fullscreen format and includes the original theatrical trailer .

Question: while watching " shallow grave , " i found myself periodically noticing thematic similarities to the coens ' " blood simple .
"
both are good films in which several characters , none of whom are the most conscientious to have walked the earth but still are not really evil , indulge in an act of deception that soon necessitates more serious crimes .
the body count rises , and before long seemingly normal people have blood on their hands .
both films are also flawed , but for different reasons .
"
blood simple " is unrelentingly dark and moody , but its characterizations were a little hollow .
" shallow grave , " on the other hand , is nearly flawless for an hour and twenty minutes , and then the filmmakers throw away much of what they 'd accomplished for a more standard , audience - pleasing ending .
the events of the film were sufficiently intense and disturbing that i honestly felt quite troubled by what i was witnessing on screen most of the time , yet there was a slight grin on my face at the end .
as the film begins , we are introduced to alex ( ewan mcgregor ) , juliet ( kerry fox ) , and david ( christopher eccleston ) , a scottish trio living in an apartment in glasgow .
they are all sarcastic and occasionally obnoxious , but other than that they seem like a fairly normal bunch .
a man named hugo moves into the apartment 's remaining vacancy , and the next morning he is found dead of a drug overdose .
juliet is about to call the police when alex discovers that hugo had brought with him a suitcase filled to the brim with cash ( presumably from criminal activities ) .
the three eventually decide to keep the money and cover up the death ; after a drawing of straws , the particularly unenviable task of mutilating the body so as to make it unidentifiable and burying it falls to david , who had been the most reluctant to partake in the scheme from the beginning .
all of this transpires in the first twenty minutes or so of the film , and part of what makes " shallow grave " so brilliant for a while is that i honestly had no idea what was coming next .
other than the obvious question of why they do n't report the death and simply hide the cash , which is not addressed , the plotting and characterization , while sometimes predictable , worked in a way that kept my attention and , on more than one occasion , gave me chills .
i will , therefore , attempt to continue this review in a way that does n't give away too much of the plot .
broadly , the trio are in danger due to hugo 's underworld connections , as two goons search for the money and kill several people in the process .
a police inspector ( ken stott ) is clearly suspicious and visits the apartment , asking pointed questions and trying to unnerve the three suspects by exchanging banal and weirdly humorous bits of dialogue with a junior detective .
david , meanwhile , becomes increasingly paranoid , moves into the attic , and develops an affinity for sharp objects .
director danny boyle effectively creates an atmosphere of mounting tension and suspicion in the apartment , and finally the three seem ready to turn against each other .
while i do not consider myself the " happy endings are automatically stupid " type , i thought that " shallow grave " really should have ended in tragedy - a realistic analysis of the story up to the last ten minutes of the film would indicate that all three characters were probably about to end up in prison , in the mental hospital , or in the morgue .
this could have been accomplished , quite credibly , but then boyle and screenwriter john hodge seem to flinch and opt for a more conventional " caper " ending in which we get a kick out of seeing who outsmarted whom , and nothing more .
granted , this is n't really a " happy " ending , but it 's still pretty light - hearted compared to what preceded it .
i really should n't say anything more about the ending as far as details go , but let me add that it seemed not only shallow and lazy but also inconsistent with the rest of the film and not very believable .
yes , this ending made me crack a smile for a couple of minutes , but ultimately it left me feeling as if i 'd been cheated .
still , " shallow grave " was brilliant
most of the way through , and it does at least meet the minimum requirements for an entertaining thriller , and i am therefore awarding it three stars .
i guess i just ca n't help but think about that fourth star that boyle and hodge let slip away .

Answer: P

Question: i think of i know what you did last summer as the movie that scream and scream 2 could have been .
mind you , though ,
i mean this in the worst possible way .
i know what you did last summer is a typical slasher flic without the smarts of the scream 's .
as a result , it 's even worse than some of your better campy horror pictures ( see nightmare on elm street ) because it thinks it 's about thirty times smarter than it is .
based on a teen book of the same name and , disappointingly ,
adapted by scream scribe kevin williamson , i know what you did last summer begins with appropriately angsty modern rock music combined with some startling cinematography of a cliff along the ocean and an angsty sort sitting at the top .
the appropriate mood being set ( this is angst - horror for the 90 's ) , we cut over to the july 4th parade in a small north carolina town .
from there , we see the blond , female protagonist , helen shivers ( woodenly played by sarah michelle geller ) , getting crowned croaker queen as the blond male " hero , " barry cox ( woodenly played by ryan phillipe ) , and matched brunette pair of protagonists , julie james and ray bronson ( woodenly played by party of five 's jennifer love hewitt and freddie prinze jr . , respectively ) cheer her on .
after getting drunk at a party , going to a beach to wittily discuss urban legend and indulge in some foreshadowing , and having some meaningful sex ( if you believe what the characters say ) , the four run down some guy crossing the windy cliff road at night .
his face is mangled so they ca n't tell who it is , and they come to the decision to dump him in the ocean so as to not ruin any of their future chances for success in the world .
cut to one year later .
the lives of our protagonists have gone from annoying to bad .
main brunette female , the bright one of the bunch , has been plagued with guilt and almost failed out of college .
blond female has forfeited her dreams of starring on guiding light , and now works at the family store in town .
brunette male is a fisherman , living off the land .
blond male has become a complete jerk and quarterback on some college football team .
then , predictably , their past comes back to haunt them .
it all begins with an irrational murder , followed by some taunting of protagonists by the mysterious killer ,
bad acting by a good actress ( anne heche )
, an improbable plot , bad acting by the main bad actors , some more killing , concluding in a climactic scene , mostly climactic in the relief at the end of the movie .
all the while , the actors and actresses spout off bad lines , and main brunette male
does his best keanu reeves imitation .
not that the movie was without pleasure .
count the illogical plot twists and bad lines for some fun .
mostly , though , note the costumes of main females and how trendily unattractive they make the otherwise eye - catching pair look .
