(For Saturday) A Feast At Midnight - 1995

What an absolutely FUN movie. We really didn't know what to expect, but this was such a good movie for the whole family.

Magnus Gove is a young man off to prep school in England. He's somewhat accustomed to the idea, but he's worried because his mother is working abroad and his father is very sick. We are introduced to him at the start of the movie as alone and a bit scared. His introduction to the prep school was learning that the other kids liked making his life miserable. Oh, and the food was terrible.

After several weeks there and trying to do his best, Magnus starts being accepted by the group. But a prank gone wrong leaves Magnus holding the bag - or BED, as the case may be. A holiday weekend where all but a couple boys are picked up by their family leaves Magnus to his own devices. And his devices involve THE KITCHEN! Magnus and the other boys decide to create a secret club that meets at midnight and cooks something absolutely delicious and unhealthy helps to create a bond between the boys and the club becomes quite exclusive. One final chance at a feast poses the chance to be caught by the strict instructor (nicknamed Raptor). Magnus may not make it out of this one unscathed!
