The Joy of Rugby

Erik and I went to watch the match at Players, down the pub, so to speak. It is a Boy and Dad time. A chance to hang out, drink coke, munch nachos and discuss the game. Wales lost by a hair´s breath to Italy. Erik´s verdict “Wales is a good team, but they don´t think enough.” Absolutely right, my boy.

The Last King of Scotland. My verdict, for what it’s worth, a master piece of acting from Forrest Whitaker. He soooo deserved the Oscar, and the doctor´s complex character, were sensitively portrayed. There appeared to be little room for other characters to develop, which is a shame. I would have liked to see a deeper and more rounded African characters emerge beyond the central role of the character of Idi Amin.
