• DVD review: Last Ride (2009) December 1, 2009
  Brand new guest reviewer, and Melbourne based person who works in and with film, Simon Walsh takes on a drunken, vomiting Hugo Weaving, and finds the experience powerfully beautiful. Like an exploding cake. In the opening moments of Last Ride we see a silhouetted Kev (Hugo Weaving), waiting for a truck stop diner to open. Dirty, [...]

• DVD Review: Somers Town (2008) November 28, 2009
  SOMERS TOWN Independent British director Shane Meadows’ well-deserved reputation as a visionary film-maker is kept firmly on track with the gritty, unglamorous yet ultimately delightful (and relatively short at 68 minutes) SOMERS TOWN. Set in the decidedly un-trendy inner city London district of the title Tomo (Thomas Turgoose) is a streetwise kid from the n […]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by minute: part 20 November 18, 2009
  It’s been almost 3 weeks since our last minute by minute post, but boy did we have a fun holiday in that locked office toilet. Take it away Godfrey. 20 of 229 After a few more cries of “yippee!” from Hurt and a demonstration of an obvious fire hazard from the women holding candles, Kristofferson is suddenly [...]

• DVD Review: My Year Without Sex (2009) November 18, 2009
  [Kirsten Law, a fantastic writer and also reasonably tolerable person*, sent me this review of the DVD package of My Year Without Sax about 2 weeks ago. Just putting it up today - that's how fast i'm doing things. I've been too busy learning wind instruments. Oh and we previously reviewed this when it was [...]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by minute: part 19 October 30, 2009
  Our minute by minute coverage of Heaven’s Gate continues. Very. Slowly. 19 of 229 How do you celebrate thrashing the hell out of each other by a tree? Apparently you form an orderly square in front of it, bleed profusely and sing songs with incomprehensible lyrics at women holding candles on the second floor of a building. [...]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by minute: part 18 October 23, 2009
  Mr Godfrey’s minute by minute review has come of age, and can now be found at $1 pot nights around the country. 18 of 229 The students continue to thrash the hell out of each other. John Hurt receives the most blows making this a very pleasing and cathartic minute. Eventually James (Kristofferson) clambers up the tree, [...]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by minute: part 17 October 13, 2009
  The saga continues; much like Star Wars failed to. Thanks Lucas you bearded bastard! 17 of 229 What a peculiar minute. I assume the students are participating in some sort of ritual, but they seem to be thrashing the hell out of each other around a tree. It could also be that the tree said something [...]

• Film Review: The Good the Bad and The Weird (2008) October 2, 2009
  For an action film, this Korean western is quite a labyrinth. With the basic plot involving a precious map and a crafty double cross delivered rapidly in the first minute, you”ll need to pay close attention. Even after this, as it transforms into a a colourful and energetic explosion of fighting, running, and John Woo [...]

• Film Review: Beautiful Kate (2009) October 2, 2009
  Sex, death, incest and suicide are just four of the key ingredients in actress Rachel Ward’s powerful directorial debut, which is based on the acclaimed novel by Newton Thornburg. Ned (Ben Mendelsohn) is travelling with would-be actress Toni (Maeve Dermody) to see his estranged dying father Bruce (Bryan Brown) in the family’s drought affected homestead in [. […]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by minute: part 16 October 2, 2009
  Part 16 of Heaven’s Gate, checked it before I wrecked it: 16 of 229 Yep, more dancing. The dame Kristofferson dances with giggles like an idiot as he inquires as to whether she is alone. At first it seems the laugh is a nervous one. But I believe it to be a mocking snicker because even if [...]
