In most romantic films, the good girl gets the good guy, vindicating all of the audiences’ wildest dreams. Without changing the formula too much, Pascal Chaumeil’s Fly Me To The Moon manages to throw a curve ball into the mix, concocting a situation where two good guys are competing for the affections of a despicable female lead.
Caspian Tredwell-Owen‘s last writing effort was The Island all the way back in 2005. A lightweight sci-fi adventure, it was mildly effective if not particularly memorable….
Redfern Now is that show. You must make it part of your life and embrace it while you can. There are only six episodes in this series. Dramas like this don’t come along very often, you must experience the greatness that is Redfern Now.
The Butler is a film about response. Cecil’s blending into the background was a form of transformation from the cotton farm way of life he came from. His response was to do whatever it takes to make a better life, however demeaning or full of inequality. Louis’ response to the racism and segregation was to stand up, speak his mind and demand to be heard.
There are two important aspects of this recap. The first is gushing about how awesome Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is and the second involves talk of the new government cutting funding from the ABC.
The word that best represents last night’s episode of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is ‘awkward’. Now that sexy hot Det. Jack (Nathan Page) has withdrawn from Miss Fisher (Essie Davis), when the two meet on a new case unexpectedly the tension can be cut with a knife.
Apparently inspired by a photograph of bullfighting dwarves writer/director Pablo Berger saw in a Spanish magazine, Blancanieves is a lovingly crafted tribute to the Brother’s Grimm fable Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
28 Hotel Rooms is an interesting concept, a very close character study and an overall relatable story. Sadly missing out on a release in Australian cinemas, it is a very subtle, yet stimulating film that really hits home.
Even though it’s at times too content to cost by on it’s interesting concept and beautiful imagery, and lags a little bit in the second act (perhaps because it has more of an idea than a story), Renoir is still a most enjoyable film that with its account of Jean Renoir’s emergence of passion for cinema, movie buffs won’t want to miss.
Whew! I was going to start this recap with all of the witty things that happened in last night’s episode. Hugh (Hugo Johnstone-Burt) comparing a car to Dot’s (Ashleigh Cummings) sewing machine.
