One Sentence Movie Reviews: The Last King of Scotland
I’ve decided to start a series of movie reviews where I summarize a film for you in a single sentence and then give that film a score from A+ (wunderbar) though F (don’t bother with this one).

Of course, biogaz can also come from the poop of other animals. What really makes le biogaz a breakthrough is that it has the potential to eliminate the need for fossil fuels (in the distant future when the process is perfected) in the production of electricity. The poop method emits no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But how is this miracle of science possible and from what did these environmentalists get their inspiration? Well I’ll tell you!
