Default Hotel Rwanda - 05-15-2005, 01:24 AM

Anyboy seen it?

I just finished watching it and it was pretty amazing.

Don Cheadle was great in it.

I fucking loved it. Great story, great acting, two thumbs up

lol good part when they were hiding in the shower, and then Paul opens the curtain and they are holding the shower head as defense and he's like

"What were you going to do with that?"

It was such a perfect piece of comedy placed in the movie among the tension and drama.

Yea, it's really funny when someone is so scared that they will fend for themselves with the closest object.
