Last night's DVD

Late last night we finally Hotel Rwanda. I'd been wanting to see it for a while because Don Cheadle is one of my fave actors. No matter how crappy the film he always puts in a good performance. He does his job/craft well, though always in supporting roles.

Hotel Rwanda is the first movie that I know of that Cheadle has been the lead, and it's about time.

Cheadle plays the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who with the help of his staff saved over a thousand Tutsis refugees from the Hutu militia during civil war in Rwanda.

Without going into detail, the things they saw and suffered are mind-numbing. If Hotel Rwanda doesn't move you in some way, you need to see a therapist.
