Product Description
At the stroke of midnight, the world is going to end. With time running out, a crazy group of big-city dwellers is determined to go out with a bang. Terminally shy guy Patrick Wheeler (Don McKellar) lets a beautiful stranger (Sandra Oh) use his phone and quickly makes a love connection. Craig, his over-sexed best friend, auditions half the girls in town for the ultimate one night stand -- and winds up with his former French teacher. And while a droning gas company representative calls every last customer to sincerely thank them for their patronage, everyone else goes wild in the streets. It's the party to end all others when one man's romantic rebirth collides with the last night on earth.

Apocalyptic visions can take many forms, from atomic to cosmic disaster, from cautionary tale to sardonic despair, comets, asteroids, plague. But when it comes to the end of the world, one expects fire or ice, bang or whimper. Rarely does this genre focus on the area between those two extremes, as it does brilliantly in Don McKellar's Last Night, a wry tale exploring the effects of the world's imminent demise on a group of characters in Toronto. No panic ensues, no looting, no gnashing of teeth or elaborate schemes to forestall disaster. Well, that may be happening somewhere, but certainly not in Toronto. Here the radio counts down the top 500 hits of all time. The clock ticks by the evening hours while daylight fails to wane. Everywhere, people prepare for the end in ways that range from the mundane to the winsome. The principal action throws together Patrick (McKellar), a dejected young man who plans on spending the end alone listening to music, with Sandra (Sandra Oh), whose plans to spend the end with her husband (David Cronenberg) are thwarted by lack of transportation. Meanwhile, Patrick's friend Craig (Callum Keith Rennie) is fulfilling every sexual fantasy he's ever had. Love the one you're with is the message here. The real star is the tone of the picture, which is distanced and ironic and masterfully maintained throughout. Sarah Polley and GeneviÃ¨ve Bujold appear in supporting roles. It's the directorial debut of actor McKellar (Exotica, eXistenZ), who also scripted The Red Violin. --Jim Gay

For better or worse, David Mamet's hit play Sexual Perversity in Chicago is watered down into this romantic comedy about a couple (played by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore) who get together and then fall apart due to Lowe's character's inability to commit. Jim Belushi is on hand as the gratuitously swinish best friend who looks at women as meat, and Elizabeth Perkins is entertainingly arch as Moore's gal pal and Belushi's nemesis. There's nothing about this 1986 film by Edward Zwick (cocreator of TV's thirtysomething and director of Glory and Courage Under Fire) that is at all reminiscent of Mamet, but that doesn't make it bad or dull. While one can feel the script straining to fill in gaps where chunks of the original play have disappeared, Zwick often successfully tells the story without words at all, relying on the actors to convey pure emotion. Lowe is good, and the then-willowy Moore's understated performance reminds one of the actress she might have been before she became a spectacle. --Tom Keogh

Better every time!.......2007-05-31

Having first viewed this film on the big screen and watched it again recently I am struck at how current this film remains. Although touted as a romantic comedy it also highlights the importance of following one's dream as the character Danny ultimately opens his own 'joint' and only then can he commit to the woman of his dreams. It is a must see for any single successful guy or any woman who wishes to glimpse ever so slightly into the single guy's mind.

LOVE IT!!.......2007-02-05

One of my absolute favorite movies from the 80's! I could watch it over and over, so cute and funny! The music is cute too.

near and dear to my heart, one of my all time favorites.......2007-01-15

I absolutely love rob lowe in this movie. His boyish innocence lets me fall in love with him in this movie every time. Ahhhhh that smile. I can remember seeing this movie over twenty years ago, and watching it feels so good. Its a nice walk down memory lane. I recently saw this on tv, and remembered how much I really love this movie, so I decided to purchase the dvd so I can watch it anytime I want to take that walk down memory lane. This one will always be one of my favorites of all time, a truly great movie that shows the sometimes realistic side of being in love.

Not happy at all - DVD not working properly although suppose to be new.......2006-08-28

Although I purchased a brand new DVD and expected it to be brand new I have to report that I am extremely unhappy as the DVD is not working properly and stalls frequently during the middle part of the movie.
I was really looking forward to the movie as it cannot be purchased in SOuth Africa and I have been searching for it for a long time and therefore decided to get it from overseas, purchasing it through Amazon but am now really unhappy and would like you to send me a replacement as soon as possible or refund the money I paid for it.

About Last Night still holds water.......2006-08-26

I can't believe I've only just seen this movie for the first time. SUCH a realistic insight into first (real) love and what living together must be like. My favorite aspect was how it portrays the strain that being in a relationship puts on your friendships. I liked it even more than the John Hughes movies of that era because of it's realism-Hughes would sometimes sacrifice the truth for a joke. The only part I found unrealistic was the ending-too Hollywood, considering the rest of the movie had an independent film feel (hence the four stars rather than five).
Rob Lowe and a very flat-chested Demi Moore give spot-on performances. Elizabeth Perkins is hilarious as the best friend. Fantastic writing based on a Mamet Play. A must see. Definitely made me think twice about living with someone too early in a relationship.

What Would You Do If The Earth Was Ending Tonight?.......2006-12-24

Prayer, drinking, suicide, sex?

Everyone has their own way of "going out" and all the above are spotlighted in this low budget but well done Sci-Fi. The story focuses on a family and a couple of fringe characters who interact with the family during the countdown to the end of the world. The acting is ok and we never really find out exactly why the world is ending but it has to do with the sun.

Like most disaster movies you get street riots and violence and intense drama. So it does sort of follow a "formula" for movies of these types. But overall it is well done.

Perfect Scenes.......2006-12-16

There really aren't many perfect scenes. These are the scenes that stop you in your tracks. Usually good camera angles, poignant music and misty-eyed expressions of love and humanity in the face of annihilation make it happen (think of the closing scenes from Paths of Glory). We have a movie of stark, dark humored gloom, of engaging Canadians (aren't they always) allowing some humanity, love and glibness to crush the normal anarchy and depraved chaos the end of the world may cause. Sandra Oh's car isn't just vandalized, it leans on its hind quarters against the store. The vandals put some thought into it.
Throughout the film you realize it's not puzzling at all as to why we go on living until we can't, why there is such a fine line from wanting to live and wanting to die that most of us won't cross with a train about to squash us. And for the final scene to unfold with Pete Seeger's version of doomed Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti's "Guantanamera" providing the perfect soundtrack of love and humanity in the scope of doom, coupling with the final couple's decision to let love conquer all, it left this viewer unable to speak or interact with others for days, simply because where I come from the singleminded status infected hordes refuse to get it. After all, we watch brainless hollywood stenographed screenplays regurgitated in our faces. This scene has never left my head for the last 8 years and probably never will, even if the DVD is released with no extras and no letterboxes. It's still rewarding to let these characters reveal their truths and be "the poor people of this earth who want to share their fates". I was never the same after that final scene and that makes a perfect scene.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It--And This Apocalypse Drama Feels Fine.......2006-11-20

This small Canadian picture from writer/director/star Don McKellar came as a huge surprise. As it begins, there are six hours left before the end of the world. It's never divulged just what has transpired to bring about this catastrophe, but that's completely secondary to the very real and human stories unfolding. As people confront the end in different ways--some dignified, some anarchic--this picture connects with small moments and believable characterizations.

Far from typical Apocalyptic representations, this is a refreshing story about human interactions. There is some looting and rioting, to be sure, but much of that is a backdrop to normal people facing the inevitable. They all have different ways they want to face the end--attend a last concert, be alone, have an impromptu Christmas, watch home movies, go to a party, have sex. Realistic and small observances are what will make this film linger in my mind.

McKellar is great as a man who just wants to be left alone, having already lost the woman he loves. Sandra Oh probably has the showiest role as a woman trying to get across town so that she may fulfill a suicide pact with her husband. She is understated and powerful. The rest of the cast is a virtual Who's Who of Canadian cinema including Sarah Polley, Genevieve Bujold, director David Cronenberg, Egoyan regular Arsinee Khanjian, and many other recognizable faces.

I really enjoyed this picture. It never tries to manipulate your feelings, it's all so matter of fact--that is its strongest point! It would have been easy to manufacture this tale as a weeper. But that doesn't mean it won't connect with you emotionally, it just isn't obvious about it. The end was surprisingly touching and moving--all the more so because I didn't know I was so drawn in. Mind you, however, this isn't slick--it's low budget and small. Maybe it's not for everyone, but if you enjoy a character driven story--this could be a nice surprise. It was for me. KGHarris, 11/06.

The Word Ends.......2006-10-29

I found the story a bit trite and boring. You might want to spend your money on another movie.

Party like there's no tomorrow--- because there isn't........2005-12-10

This is one of the best end of the world films ever made. Like its earlier cousin, the excellent english film, THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE, this one gains its power from the accumulation of small details that reveal the characters' thoughts and emotions.

The set up is this: The world ends in 6 hrs. What do you do with the time you have left? My hat goes off to writer/actor/director Don McKellar, he not only has written an intelligent script but his performance is droll and sweet and achingly sad and vulnerable as well. THis is the kind of film you finish watching only to be immediately haunted by the imagery and scenarios that have just played out in front of you; This is a thought-provoking and very beautiful film.

Wow! A powerhouse from an unknown (to me) composer. The five singers set a standard for future productions of this marvelous work. They deal with a difficult but interesting stage set and provide a clarity of the english libretto seldom realized on disc. The orchestra is up to the demands of the score adding to the total realization of this powerfull work. A short filmed commentary by the composer and conductor are all that is necessary to complete the overpowering experience of this work.

If you are a horror buff that loves ALL horror movies, and not JUST the ones with the '05 special effects, you'll love this one,I did. The humor is a little dry, but I still loved it.

Mary Lou is back in action killing students and teachers again,but this time she is in love with Zach Gillian!!!!!!!! Prom Night 3 is a five star movie and as far as the other one i would have to give it a four star it wasn't as good as the other one!!!!!!! Check them out!!!!

It's Not Who You Come WIth, It's Who Takes You Home.......2005-07-12

~~~~~Prom Night 3 (*** 3 Stars)~~~~~

Prom Night 3 takes the character from Part 2, Mary Lou and does an interesting thing with her character for this film. Mary Lou has gotten her revenge and shes still floting around the school. And with nothing to do and no one left to kill who needs killing she falls in love with one of the students and helps him go from a nobody to an honour student and his grades and ppopularity increase. However, anybody that keeps trying to get in the way, interfear with him, or find out whats really going on, there fate is dealt with by Mary Lou.
However he is not too happy with her killings, she cant stop and he's doubhting it will work out.... will he work it out with Mary Lou? or will he tell her it's over and turn his life upside down? ...duh

Overall I thought it was pretty interesting. I thought for a moment it's pretty original for a ghost to fall in love with a human, but then I thought a film called High Spirits and a few others, but this one is unique in it's own way. This is done more in a Horror way. However, keep in mind that this is a Horror/Comedy. So blood and gore fans who just wanna see brutality, or those who dont like comedy with there decapatations might not like this film.

I guess maybe if you like Night Of The Living Dead or Sean Of The Dead kind of movies, you might enjoy this movie.

Theres no bonus features at all. I think this movie is still better then the 1st, but it's not as good as part 2. But it's in 2nd place of all 4 movies for me!

~~~~~Prom Night 4 (* One Star)~~~~~~

This time Prom Night hasnt got anything to do with Mary Lou. Which I think is the wrong direction. I find it pretty stale, humorless, goreless and pretty boring at times. Suprsingly it does come with a trailer which is more then any of the others can say. But this film just shouldnt have been added to the Prom Night saga. It's the typical horney teenagers, unsupervised, haunted house thing. Seen it, zzzzz. I can see why it was added with part 3.

Tho I give it 1 star, I kind of lean more to just below 2 stars.. kind of a one and a half star rating. I've seen alot worse, but I would probably give those films -1 stars. But this film just needed blood and guts to be affective rather then a done-to-death already senario.

2 fun movies for a late night weekend watch.......2003-11-17

Prom night 3 (1989)Was in fact rather fun, comedic and shall I dare say, semi creepy? It wasn't like part 1, or even 2, but it was still decent, while the 1991 'finale' deliver us from evil takes us into a very similar direction as the cheap yet scary 'HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS' Director's cut...but that one at least has pace. I actually thought they were both decent, especially part 3, the transfer on part 3 was pretty good, fullscreen, but it looked sharper then the VHS, yet part 4, not so much...it looked the same as a VHS except less speckling and no backround film sound (like old vhs's have)I liked the fact that it was realy cheap and it's 2 movies for 1 low price, part 3 was about mary lou like part 2, except this one takes a dark humor route, part 4 had some semi suspense in it but was pretty cheap. Overall quality isn't that spectacular, but admit it, neither were these sequels...

The Proms have to say: thank you Hilary.......2006-03-08

Yes, everybody from Andrew Davis to the last person in Hyde Park listening to the concert has to say this words: thank you Hilary Hahn. Her performance, in my opinion, has been the most beautiful, touching, measured moment through all the event. While everybody screamed on any other piece, demonstrating that in this kind of events the most important thing is the SHOW (the "english" show...), during Hilary Hahn's performance (half an hour with Mozart violin concerto n.4 and Bach's presto from sonata n.1 as encore) nobody spoke. everybody stopped and stared at an angel playing the violin. only Hilary Hahn can do that in a Hall with more than 6000 people inside whatching her.
a religious silence covered the royal albert hall that night, when she started playing. the other pieces in the program are the symbol of english music, of UK's military power; but every orchestra plays this kind of music in the same way.
nothing to do with miss Hahn: no one plays like her.
conductor...2 stars (he's not precise...); orchestra 4 stars;5 stars to Hilary (is it possible to put 10 stars...?).

Hahn & The Best Mozart D Major and Bach G min Presto I've Ever Heard or Seen.......2005-08-14

I didn't know about this dvd until a few months ago when I was browsing Hilary's website and I found a link to this dvd. The person who reviewed this dvd before me didn't even mention that Hilary Hahn plays on this. I was delighted when I finally bought this and went home to play it.

I've been a huge fan of Hilary Hahn ever since her debut Bach cd came out. Alot of people were arguing that the Chaconne was too slow but I loved it. When I heard the Brahms, I was totally blown away. Well this performance of Mozart Concerto 4 with the Bach G min Presto as an encore really blew me away again.

First of all, Hilary has the most perfect bow arm I've seen since Milstein, not alot of bow pressure but alot of speed and a deadly accurate sense of timing, she also plays clear articulate legatos and a spiccato that is always dead on. Like Milstein, her vibrato is very modest and never overstated but at times approaches the romanticness of Mr. Szeryng: always in good taste but never overly so.

I would have preferred a dvd of the Brahms because the cd really blew me away but this is equally impressive. According to her web journal she has been playing concertos by Paganini, Spohr, Vieuxtemps 4, Bruch and Korngold. I'm trying to imagine watching those concerts on video as well. Hey Hilary, please keep the videos coming!

Taste the Last Night excitement!.......2004-10-04

If you thought classical music lovers all over the world came neatly dressed and sat quietly during the concerts, here is a concert that will change all such impressions. This is the Last Night of the Proms concert conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.

The music on this DVD is a bit British oriented, which is a norm for the Last Night, I guess. There is an orchestral arrangement of Bach's prelude by Elgar. And then there is Rule Britannia by Arne, Pomp and Circumstance March by Elgar, Fantasia on Sea Songs by Sir Henry Wood, Jerusalem etc accompanied by claps, baloon bursts, taxi horns and what not! The musical arrangment of Sir Andrew's farewel speech is a nice curiosity in addition to the "traditional" pieces performed in a Proms' finale.

I have two reservations about this DVD before recommending this disc to anyone:

1) The layer switch on this dual layer DVD happens towards the last note of the Shostakovich's Jazz Suite. On some DVD players like mine, this causes a momentary pause and drains all the excitement away from such a piece. I am sure the DVD specifications allow the data files on the disc to be organized in such a way to avoid the layer switch in the middle of a track.

2) The programme is interwoven with interviews and announcements, which is good for the first time, but boring on repeated listenings.

But I'd still recommend this disc to anyone who would like to sample the excitement of the Last Night, but could never be there yet.

Remember last night again?.......2005-08-06

Steven Weber is one of my favorite funny man and if you ever seen him in Wings, you know his persona. He tries to cheer his buddy Dan (played by Emilio Estevez) up after his wife left him. They go into this night club and that is where the fun begins. He bring these two bar girls back to his room and they dance to the music by Blondie on top of the coffee table before falling off is very sexy and funny at the same time. All hell breaks loose after that and Dan tries to mend with his wife after a night of woo hooo fun.

Not a very good movie and probably shouldn't be watch if your have a break up either.

It depends on you.......2002-01-11

It depends on you; it depends on your experiences.

This movie might be good for you; you can find something very similar to you...

If you have ever been one of this guy, or if you have ever spent a night like this.

I like it very much.

not great but kept me entertained.......2001-04-20

I saw this movie when it premired on starz. That's right it's a starz original. It has it's bad parts (the cop) it's good parts (golf course and psycholigist) and slow parts but through it all it kept me entertained even though it was uneven. It is a pretty good plot that took some bad turns. Weber was funny though.

Excellent movie!!.......2000-08-05

Yet the beginning of this movie does seem to sort of remind you of Swingers, the movie turns itself around. It turns out to be a great movie in total. I do have to say that if you like this movie, then you will also like Swingers. This movie really deserved more credit.

Bizarre yet alluring..........2000-07-17

I didn't expect to watch the entire film - but I identified with the characters. It is very much a male-bonding sort of thing - but that's not always a bad thing. If you're a male in your late 20s or early-mid 30s, you'll find yourself enthralled with some of the decisions these guys make throughout the film.

The writing and acting is solid. It takes some peculiar twists and turns because it doesn't have a plot. Like the typical male-bonding film, LLL meanders through different parties, different friends, different drugs, all during the course of one evening. But you never know where it'll take you next. Those who live in LA will identify with the film even more than the average joe, since it goes in and out of locales we angelinos frequent day in/day out. Check it out - it's worth 90 minutes of your time, especially if you live in LA.
