Grade: A | Genre: Black Comedy Summary: "The Last Supper" is a brilliant satire supported by a strong cast. Each display interesting paradoxes in character. You witness the effects that the murders have on them and see gradual changes in their temperament and morals.

Back in a time when movies were a little more timid and story lines were more cautious, smaller indie pix began to emerge and boldly defied conventional wisdom. These films showed us the darker side of human nature and rubbed our noses in it. They were a slap in the face so that we would wake up and take notice.

1995's The Last Supper is a little known film that bravely challenges our morals. It's a dark comedy that will have you laughing out loud but at the same time, have you re-evaluating your belief system.

	Grade: A- | Genre: Drama/Independent Summary: My Own Private Idaho holds a special place in my heart because it's the first independent film I ever saw (or at least was aware of). For the first time, I realized that cinema could be an art and that a film could make you think, question the world around you. It could speak volumes without ever saying a word.

Before Gus Van Sant made a splash in the mid-90's with high profile, independent minded films like Good Will Hunting and To Die For, he was making curious indie fare for the sharp of taste. His second film, My Own Private Idaho released for the first time on DVD yesterday, still ranks as one of the defining moments of this great filmmaker's cache of work.
