NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Val Kilmer's eco-themed thrillers

Wednesday, 28 October 2009 12:39 P GMT+10
Was down at the local video store, having a squizz at all the flicks on the shelves. Saw a title that looked like a bit of a hoot called The Steam Experiment. It's about some nutty boffin who decides to show what we're all in for as the plane

Chloe Traicos, filmmaker and actress

Friday, 28 August 2009 2:41 P GMT+10
Here's some info about Chloe Traicos, a dynamic young woman working in the Australian arts field. I first met Chloe via the comedy scene in Perth about nine years ago. She was only nineteen or twenty then, yet she immediately impressed me with he

It's because they suck

Sunday, 23 August 2009 2:17 P GMT+10
Still more agonizing over our pathetic film "industry". Here a hack poses the old question: Why can't Aussie movies pull a crowd when they are so critically lauded?Answer: because they suck. See, Australian film-makers don't make mo

Plants attack!

Tuesday, 4 August 2009 7:41 P GMT+10
Re this silly idea that nature is mad as hell and isn't gonna take it anymore: As we all know it's at the heart of a lot of green propaganda. But it's really soaked into popular culture to a surprising extent as well.  A good example

Shallow Rachel

Sunday, 14 June 2009 6:49 P GMT+10
Rachel Ward, who is now spruiking a flick she's directed called Beautiful Kate, reckons young thespettes should stop being coy and happily nude up when asked to by directors. It's necessary for success, she reckons.  Don't wanna soun

Sapphic cinema convention

Thursday, 21 May 2009 7:44 P GMT+10
Interesting how dykes in movies are almost always lipstick lesbians.  Have a look at this one, who happens to be a vampire to boot. She doesn't look remotely like ones I see on Enmore Road almost every day. 

Jan the Actress to play Susan the Singer?

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 12:36 A GMT+10
There are plans afoot to turn Susan Boyle's life story into a fillum. This article suggests that fan Demi Moore might want to play her. Not gonna happen. Even if she did want the role, she'd be totally miscast. She's too gorgeous and

Fantastic Aussie doco

Wednesday, 15 April 2009 12:57 P GMT+10
For any film buff out there, you've just gotta have a look at Not Quite Hollywood. It's a rollicking doco about the much maligned "Ozploitation" flicks of the seventies and eighties.  The doco opened in the cinemas not so long

Strife imitates art

Tuesday, 7 April 2009 12:27 P GMT+10
Hey, remember that champion Oz cult fillum Stone? In it, bikies were mysteriously dropping like flies and dropping off cliffs throughout Sydney.Kinda like nowadays, don't you think? The plods don't seem to be having much luck with their overt

Van Damme grows up

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 1:26 P GMT+10
Jean Claude Van Damme always seemed stuck in a state of retarded machismo. When confronted with the accusation that his movies encouraged violence, for example, he would get very indignant. "My film are da healthy film, wise film!" he would

Sam Neill has a little wine

Saturday, 7 March 2009 12:23 P GMT+10
Sam Neill comes across as a right plonker in this interview about his new flick, Dean Spanley. He includes the mandatory swipe at Dubya, using that hackneyed observation that the War on Terror is a "war on an emotion".So dodgy. Any sensible

Rourke's wrestler pins Penn

Wednesday, 4 February 2009 9:28 A GMT+10
The Oscars are coming up and it will be interesting who wins the Best Actor award. I saw The Wrestler recently and Mickey Rourke delivers a truly champion performance. I hear tell that Sean Penn has excelled himself in a biopic about a gay activist w

Wrestler's mania

Tuesday, 27 January 2009 12:45 P GMT+10
Mickey Rourke was a hugely famous and respected actor in the eighties. He threw it all away to be a boxer. We all know about how he made his spectacular comeback to the silver screen. Now, he could be in danger of turning his back on artistic success

Ice queen has glass jaw

Monday, 26 January 2009 12:42 P GMT+10
Baz Luhrmann has been getting chivalrous defending damsel in distress Nicole Kidman from all those nasty bloggers. The relentless sledging of her performance in Australia has really stung her, it seems.    Kidman is pretty good at playing h

Wrestler nails it

Thursday, 15 January 2009 11:43 P GMT+10
Mickey Rourke is clearly a complicated fella with a whole host of inner demons. Has a lot to do with why he's so talented, probably. His heart is full of turmoil. But his head seems to be screwed on at least half right if these comments in defenc

Jackman and Kidman's very Australian hypocrisy

Thursday, 18 December 2008 3:39 P GMT+10
Nicole Kidman's windy faux pas on German TV and the squitterati's subsequent silence reveal several things about our craven PC culture.   Firstly, both she and Hugh Jackman are hypocrites. I mean, you'd think that being so culturall

Old shoe resoled

Tuesday, 16 December 2008 10:02 P GMT+10
The spooky parallels I wrote about last night are multiplying, people. Now, there's gonna be a protest outside the White House involving lots of deeply meaningful footwear. Bet this won't be the last, too!Sooo much like the movie, but with p

Wagging the Bush dog: Of shoes, Schumanns and showbiz

Tuesday, 16 December 2008 1:51 P GMT+10
Great comic I knew who is sadly no longer with us had this great line: "That's life imitating satire." Well, this flying shoe episode could be a perfect example of what he meant ...Remember that movie called Wag the

Luhrmann benefits from Garrett's sour notes

Sunday, 14 December 2008 3:27 P GMT+10
Earlier, I postulated a theory that a coupla recent and well-publicized art attacks had a deeply personal bent. Arts Minister Peter Garrett, being so conspicuously talentless as both dancer and singer, was waging an undeclared war on performers poss

Airheads for Australia!

Thursday, 4 December 2008 3:22 P GMT+10
Listening to talkback over the last day or so, I've heard quite a few callers giving their thoughts on the movie Australia. A trend has definitely emerged: Those who were critical gave quite thoughtful responses. They weren't your usual gulli

Washed up mermaid all at sea

Tuesday, 2 December 2008 11:19 A GMT+10
So Daryl Hannah has joined malignant misanthrope Paul Watson on his latest nautical jaunt. You always have to be suspicious when Hollywood types do stuff like this. They're not motivated solely by stupidity like the zealous little poppets wh

Australians review Australia review

Monday, 1 December 2008 1:46 P GMT+10
That unflattering review of the film Australia by Mark Naglazas has really hit a nerve. If this is an indication of our cultural identity, then we're less laconic and thick skinned than we thought. Seem to be quite a touchy bunch, actually. 

Moulin Rouge in the outback

Wednesday, 19 November 2008 11:43 P GMT+10
Considering how suspiciously positive many reviews of the epic movie Australia have been, it's refreshing to read an honest, highly critical one. As Mark Naglazas describes the movie, it sounds like Baz Lurhmann is up to his old tricks. Lots

Heat

Saturday, 27 September 2008 8:50 P GMT+10
Have been hitting the DVDs again. Watched Heat. Brilliant, atmospheric stuff. The diner scene with DeNiro and Pacino is just classic. (If you're gonna have a squizz, take a week off work. The movie's about sixteen hours long.)Interesting triv

Dark Knight's dark night

Tuesday, 22 July 2008 8:36 P GMT+10
Seems that Batman actor Christian Bale went feral on his mum and sis. Clearly not a case of his recent role getting the better of him. In that case he'd be lockin' up brutes, not emulating them! Strange stuff going on in Hollywood, eh? So man
