Love Serenade (1996)
Shout out to Production & Costume Design!
Plenty of good reviews up already covering the quirky humour and great soundtrack. Just wanted to give some praise for the Production and Costume Design - it's great!
Perhaps the fact that it's since dated so much helps, but it really gave that backwater country town vibe that made the film for me.
Highlights: Vicki-Ann's floral date dress, sets for the radio station, Chinese restaurant and Dimiti & Vicki-Ann's house.
The best part was Vicki-Ann's hair salon - perfect gaudy, girly, tack-o-rama. Loved spotting the hedgehog pencil holder on the counter too (another 80s childhood flashback).
Lost in Translation (2003)
What does Bob say at the end?!
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!! I saw the film at the cinema and loved it, however watching it again the other night on DVD reminded me of the one thing that irritated me about it - you can't hear the last line of dialogue. When Bob races after Charlotte and whispers something in her ear it's all mumbles. I'm guessing you're not supposed to hear, and that thinking about/understanding what he might be saying is part of the overall purpose of the story etc., but it's just so frustrating and disappointing after getting to know the characters so well that we are excluded from this final and touching resolution between them - especially since whatever he says leads to their first proper kiss!! Did anyone else have this reaction?
Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004)
Attention Australian Residents!
Rumor has it around Brisbane that both the Courier Mail and Sunday Mail (for those not familiar - the major papers that most people read) have denied the Outfoxed people the right to purchase advertising for the film in their newspapers! (No prizes for guessing who owns said papers) Blatant moral censorship by the media big-wigs - surely not?!! But, then, that's what Outfoxed is all about, so haven't they just proved Greenwald right?
Don't know about other Aussie cities but wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar situation, so look into it. BRISBANE RESIDENTS, you won't have read about it in our trusty local rag, but OUTFOXED IS SCREENING at BALMORAL CINEMAS. Go and see it and tell everyone to do the same! Prove that they can't stop this.
