Freaktana A Major Disappointment

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The_Triad Late Night Shopping is a fairly imaginative character film based around a group of people who work night shifts.The film succeeds in it's subject matter, thanks to a good script containing all sorts of musing dialogue about life, philosophy and relationships that never feels overwritten, enabling the reality of the piece to flourish. The characters are all well drawn, on the surface, there's the shy one, the one with girlfriend problems, the mysterious one and the ladies man, but thankfully over the course of the film thanks to it's character based nature the characters become real and interesting.The plot largely takes a back seat to allow us to spend time with these characters until it develops into a more conventional romantic drama sort of thing towards the end. I'd liken it to the film Swingers (one scene in particular is identical) due to the "mates hanging out" theme of the film, with a subtle hint of beat culture (the film contains a few Kerouac and Salinger references).A good film to watch, and an achievement in solid, decent film-making.

linda_seale This movie is a hidden gem! I'd never heard of it until a friend of mine brought it back from England, along with another fun movie called Sex Sells Making of Touchee. I'd never heard of either of these films, so they may not be available here in the US. I don't want to give away the plot, but basically this is the story of a a few friends who meet after work in a restaurant. I loved this movie! The acting is fantastic, and with some very touching moments. This is a simple story about uncomplicated people, but is so real and entertaining. Seriously this is better than 95% of the films you will ever see from Hollywood. If you can find it, and I'm not sure that's even possible, rent it... you won't regret it.

breaklikeagirl As far as films go, this is likable enough. Entertaining characters, good dialogue, interesting enough story. I would have really quite liked it had I not been irritated immensely whilst watching at the utter disrespect it shows the city it is set in.Glasgow. In Scotland. Yet every character is English (save for Sean's girlfriend, who is Dutch). Scottish accents are heard only fleetingly in menial jobs & roles. As a Scottish woman (& as a viewer who likes her "real life" films to be a bit more like real life) I really don't think it would have hurt to use any one of the countless talented Scottish actors...or at least got English ones who could toss together a decent accent! The futile attempt at using the word "wee" a few times did nothing but to further the insult.

George Parker "Late Night Shopping" is a little, lukewarm Brit friends comedy which follows the lives and loves of a trio of young Glasgow guys who spend most of their time trying to figure out their lives and loves. The film wanders from pillar to post seemingly searching for its story until it settles on one couple and the reconciliation of some relationship-busting indiscretions. There's probably more right with "Late Night Shopping" than there is wrong with it, but it is not sufficient to warrant a trip to the video store. Unengaging, monotonous at times, but with a solid cast and an occasionally pang of poignancy or heart, this flick may have some appeal for young adults, Scots or Brits, fans of the players, etc. All else pass.
