    Last Night (1998) apocalyptic movie

    How would people deal with the sun going nova in just six hours?
    It may be exactly that question this film deals with, the exact nature of the end is unknown though with a clear blue sky at midnight in Toronto it can either be the sun going nova or a comet as bright as a star coming straight at the Earth.
    People hold street parties, some begin coupling, others go on killing sprees, families have a christmas dinner and exchange past gifts, a guy has a sex orgy and in the last hour to midnight there's a calmness until the final moment when the world is obliterated.
    Not perfect but a watchable film, you may find it on Youtube in it's entirity.

    I have to say, I strangely loved this little quirky film.

    It's flits between emotional, to odd ball to black comedy, but there's something lovely about it.


    I have one loose end I didn't quite like... The boss from the gas firm is threatened by the young guy with the shotgun, and you never learn what happens!?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
