• DVD review: Sunshine cleaning January 28, 2010
  “From the producers of Little Miss Sunshine”, Sunshine Cleaning is a muddled, sometimes enjoyable attempt at an Indy feelgood comedy that never takes off the ground. Desperate to pay her sons school tuition (a subplot that for unexplained reasons seems to disappear entirely) Rose Lorkowski employs the help of her sister to try to make it [...]

Le fils de l’épicier est un film français avec du charme qui…oh, hang on, I’d better continue this review in English in case some readers think I’ve gone all pretentious, moi?  If you’re looking for […]

• Review: Heavens Gate (1980): Minute by Minute Part XXII December 21, 2009
  Hip Hop is dead 22 of 229 At last, some effing violence! Blood, guts, sinew and entrails are picked up from the mud. It’s an animal carcass, though I’m not sure what animal. Perhaps, as previously discussed, it’s from a gnu. Could also be a giraffe, though admittedly the chance of giraffe’s being in Wyoming in the [...]

• Film Review: Bright Star (2009) December 21, 2009
  One thing I love about the movies is lurching from one genre to another, [like demented cork in celluloid sea? -Ed]. In the last week I’ve seen Ricky Gervais’ THE INVENTION OF LYING, Johnny To’s Hong Kong gangster flick VENGEANCE starring the charismatic French pop legend Johnny Hallyday, the iconic Melbourne-set ON THE BEACH with [...]

• Heaven’s Gate (1980): Minute by Minute: Part 21 December 6, 2009
  Dear Mr. Godfrey, While I do not expect that a personal request from me would convince you to cease your, so far, rather unflattering deconstruction of my masterpiece I would like to implore that you at least do me one favour. In the 21st minute there is a rather lovely long shot of a train [...]

• The Strength of Water – Australian release December 3, 2009
  So, actually being in the NZ film industry has sucked my time away from AFR. But as this is in direct interest to my job, you get an update about the beautiful New Zealand film The Strength of Water. It opens today in Melbourne (Palace Como), Sydney (Chauvel) and Brisbane (Palace Barracks). Please check it [...]

• 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 [...]
