Lithium Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Mel Gibson is American, so is Kidman, Russell Crowe is a New Zealander.I'll give you Bana and Ledger though.Kidman's Australian-American, according to Wiki.

And she lives in Australia now, doesn't she?she was born in Hawaii therefore American?Her family moved back to Australia when she was four, and she has an Australian citizenship. That qualifies her as an Aussie if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Anyone remember the movie Dark City? Came out a year before the Matrix? Really great piece of sci-fi.Yeah I do, I remember it being good. It's like that movie Hardware was like Terminator for adults. Shorter no cheesy one liners just a robot that has gone beserk and Lemmy in a speedboat or was that Beyond the Terrodome? Existenz was funny if there's two realities, which one is "real" and if there's two, why not three or four! Organic playstations 4 every1! Just saw Edward Norton's Incredible Hulk - prefer it to the other one. Then Stark turned up at the end, so now it's Iron man vs Hulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I just want to big up Emma Thompson, her performance in Wit is just perfect.I have yet to see her in a bad acting performance, anybody that wants to see a real film with feeling should rent Wit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've seen Stranger Than Fiction but might have to watch it again cos can't remember much about it. Will Ferrell in a serious role?I've never really found him that funny but he should do more serious rolesI only really started to take him seriously after watching Semi-Pro for the 5th time.I remember more about it now, it's about that writer and what she writes comes true. He could definitely do more serious roles easily cos he does stupid stuff with a straight face. I don't think he smiled once during Blades of Fury.I saw that new Adam Sandler movie Zohan and it's basically just insane. I can't even describe it - I think it was horrific but it had all these cool parkour action scenes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissirge Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Saw the Estonian movie Klass(Class) again,its a powerful and controversial movie.Like Elephant its about school shootings, but its a movie that wants to show that these things don't just come out of nowhere and wants you to sympathize with the shooters.If you can find it ,I recommend that you check it out.

Angelica Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) To all Australians (and people from other countries who like Australian movies): What would you say are the greatest Australian movies?Picnic at Hanging Rock. Oh, and Razorback. Hey Angelica dyer leik the GoodFellas leek?Assuming I'm interpreting that correctly, yes, I like GoodFellas. I also like inexplicable incoherence.

Angelica Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Along with Buffy Season 7 and Angel Season 1. Along with S6, S7 is my favorite! Although I'm in a minority of a minority of a minority on that one. The first season of Angel is a solid starting point, but IMO, it got a lot better.

nameless_girl Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 After an almost monthly absence of any sort of visual media, I got down to watching The Fall last night, which somehow ended up getting properly released a whole two years after it was finished, and is something RTN might love.

I think you and I are the only Buffy/Angel fans on this forum. I have been enjoying Angel, thus far. I still think Buffy's the best show of the two.It least Charisma still looks good in Angel.

Nathalie is a Buffy fan. And ThinkAbout You. S3 also ranks very highly for me. How you'll end up regarding Angel depends largely on whether you prefer stand alone eps or serialized arcs. I prefer arcs (as long as their done well), so I favor seasons 2-5. Having said that, there are some wonderful episodes there. To round out the Whedon experience, I'd recommend Firefly, if you haven't been there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Houseboat Horror is the best Aussie film ever. I think there's a few scenes on Youtube. Worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
