I think, really, the Jolly Roger is the appropriate course of action.
AICN-DOWNUNDER
The Australian Film Institute Award nominations were announced this week, and it was panacea for the soul of Aussie filmmakers and critics alike (not filmgoers so much, they were busy watching COUPLES RETREAT). This is one of the best lineups we've ever had, with BALIBO, SAMSON AND ...
Where they get to review the
movies they are getting months
after North America, post
Australian box office figures,
and announce news that would
be in its own
non-AICN-Downunder-topic if it
was significant in any way.
This is not a knock on
Australia. But why Australia,
out of the 194 countries on
this planet that aren't
America?
Tom Hardy to play Max
Rockatansky "Despite his lack
of Australian-ness I think
he's a great choice"
Latauro for shame. Call
yourself an Aussie? Your
nations single greatest geek
movie icon has just been taken
by a pommie best known for
playing a gay man called
Handsome Bob. And all you can
say is 'great choice'.
Get some four X down ya, watch
some cricket, and take a drive
through the ...
Why, asks Gwai Lo, does
Australia get its own column?
Basically because I write it.
If you look in the Contacts
page, you'll see there's an
Africa-AICN, Asia-AICN, and
Euro-AICN. They don't seem to
update much, if ever, and I
don't know why that is. But
AICN-Downunder is regular
because I love doing it, and
will always make the time
every two-to-three-weeks to
put the massive thing
together. I ...
I know, I know, Mad Max is an
Australian icon and we have so
few, we should protect the
ones we got. But just on a
performance level, Tom Hardy's
a brilliant choice for a
post-apocalyptic arse-kicker.
As a friend of mine pointed
out on Twitter, though, proven
hard-man (Chopper) and Mad Max
obsessee Eric Bana would have
a brilliant choice.
A SERIOUS MAN releases on
November 19, not February
2010. You know how I made the
mistake? I got a press release
about A SINGLE MAN. Yes, I am
feeling exceptionally foolish
right now. But hey, we don't
have to wait very long, so
that's good news!
It's fantastic. Lots of the
regionally specific news and
reviews goes right over my
head, but Lat is funny and
informative, and I often find
his reviews amongst the most
interesting and useful on this
site, even if they're
sometimes somewhat later than
the American ones.
Although now I wish Harry and
co. made a more concerted
effort to get some coverage
for some of the other big film
nations, like France, Germany,
Japan, South Korea, Canada,
the UK, Italy, etc. Or by
continent, as you pointed out.
Surely there are some
columnists around the globe
with a bit of insider access
that would be happy to get the
exposure that this site
provides. Anyway, sorry if my

Your reviews are...
Latauro, good work on this column - your effort is appreciated. I'm still hoping against hope that Mel might get worked into the new Max movie somehow. And as you say if not Mel, then Bana would have seemed a shoe-in. I'd be very curious to know why Miller's made the choice he has. I'm sure there's already an interesting story in 'the making of FURY ROAD' and the thing hasn't even started to shoot yet....
I think anyone who appreciates that experience of going to a concert would love it. I complete agree with your 'Capitalism...' review though. I held off on reading it until I saw it over the weekend, and god, all that citizen's arrest bullshit, seriously...lame

To me, what was missing was the ending. The movie (and especially its trailer) seems like it's building towards something really cool and epic, but then the ending kinda falls flat.
Wait , where did you hear that A Serious Man is getting pushed back to Feb? I was really looking forward to seeing that and some local cinemas are already advertising their advance member screenings and their sites all appear to have held onto the 19th as listed release date. Do you have some sort of unfourtunate scoop?
