IF YOU KNOW AND ENJOY THE SERIES. A GREAT DVD.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
the inevitable lust for power story. Pretty good.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
A cheerful mild tearjerker. Very Hollywood version of the process of dying.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
An important movie. There will be many who approve and feel their pulse quicken in agreement with the methods of the Coalition.But all that has happened is we as a civilization have been morally diminished and are as grubby as the so-called enemy.
You can only wonder why there are so many quite unintelligent humans attracted to the military. I can only say this having spent 8 years playing that role myself.

must admit my wife who sat trough the first half, decided never to let me choose a DVD again!
Basically nonsense
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
actually pretty good. Strangely sad to be a distant observor of this dysfunctional family.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Some accurate scenes and insights, but as usual Hollywood intrudes
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
GREAT

This genre has been attempted many times. This movie is impressive, especially the young characters.

Thank heavens for John Pilger, inevitably the members of the conservative right dislike him, yet he has investigated the truth bravely.
Dated documentaries, I was involved in these events. And as usual one glimpses the parallels with present history.

important music
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
interesting, multifaceted movie
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
interesting story, clever use of the narrator
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Great music, the repetitive visuals mildly boring.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Great. Despite a pared down orchestration, now a little dated. But any version still elevates the emotions.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
important movie. easily forgotten about the Irish history.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Quirky, perhaps confronting to some, movie-but a bitter-sweet story of bravery and redemption.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
predictable, but worth watching,especially the role of the prisoner
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Seems very dated and quaint now, but still part of one's early TV experience
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
intense relationship of reconciliation and probable forgiveness. Worth perservering with the slow evolution of the story
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
difficult. Perhaps too American.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
excellent, very important movie. Reaffirming our need to resist any government which utilises fear.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kevin
OK, sort of interesting antihero. Very Australian, whatever that means.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
WORTHY MOVIE
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Not bad, but somehow doesn't make it. Too limply American.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
after 30 minutes, we looked at each and in unison "do really care", and turned it off.
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
ok, but all been done before
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
reasonable story, although the plot has been done many times before
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Actually quire good, rites of passage story.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
good typical aussie movie
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
thank heavens for Chaser, anything funny and satirical in this culture is important.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
A great filmic experience. A wonderful invocation of food, family and history.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kevin
A great filmic experience. A beautiful invocation of the importance of history and food to a culture.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kevin
OK, although Mirren may wonder why she did it.
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
Somehow quaint, the premise of human fraility and perhaps growth is well done.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Not an important movie, but good escapist show.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Good ensemble story. Important moral questions.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Clever idea, but doesn't make it.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Possibly worth a go. Somehow one doesn't feel much empathy for the characters
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Good escapist movie. Interesting idea of the inter-relationship of events and inevitable greed.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
important insight into a complex area.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Intense moving story
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
OK, but somehow can we really care what happens to these characters?
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
surreal movie, but lessons to be learnt. IF ONLY........
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
OK, but somehow one feels little empathy with these superficial characters
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
Interesting movie. A little existential, I wonder whether we really care about the main character.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Grim, desperate but very important. Not only with respect to the damage done to generations of South Africa. But also the story has reflections in our culture.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
interesting, quirky film with a nod to Pulp Fiction.Quite funny in patches.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Exhausting yet rewarding, I saw it when first released and one still feels the existential sadness and perhaps forgiveness.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
This is a clever and challenging telemovie by Arthur Miller. Depicting the usual inadequacies of humans viz. xenophobia, racism and inevitable greed. The movie ending is important.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Very good, perhaps daring and human. A feeling of sadness at the end, for the human condition.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Reasinable. Some great battles scenes, if you like that sort of thing. As usual we are the heroes.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Very interesting ideas, especially with evolving dementia in the father.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Sadly a reflection of our current industrial relations.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
A difficult ensemble feeling movie. The story is important and the players wonderful. Thankfully we are no longer back in those desperate and dangerous days of the abortionist. But there those generous conservative souls who without the conscience vote recently may have set us back in time again.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Harrowing sad story, the characters are realistic and there is an empathy with their journey.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Great movie!
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
Feels somehow dated for a 1990's movie. But good escapist fun.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Could have been OK, but became progressively silly.
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
Retains the threat and excitement of its viewing back in 1968. Sadly nothing has changed, the ongoing fight between the lesser and better angels.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
A very important, enchanting, brave movie. Not the sort of movie one would expect the neo-cons in USA to be moved by- and that unfortunately is what is so sad.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kevin
Thee existential experience a little long.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
still retains a slow peculiar insight into our recent past. The violence done due to xenophobia is sadly timeless.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
somehow we just couldn't find the redeeming point of this awkward movie.
(Maybe) - review by Kevin
another great quirky movie directed by Almodovar. You will either love this movie or see nothing in it.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
A qirky strangely sensitive movie, midly confronting but worth the journey.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
A great movie, not dated and leaves us with a sense of optimism- certainly needed in our current mean and fairly greedy developed countries.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
I remember well seeing back in the 60's. It all seemed closer to the truth then. Peter Sellers is great in his roles. The final scenes are still sadly chilling.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
A little dated since I first saw this simple movie. There remains an innocence about it.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Interesting to see Cruise in differing role. Otherwise an OK escapist movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
Saw this movie when I was a younger lad, the message has not changed.Perhaps it is even more important now.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
An interestig film. Has the feel of a playhouse production. Encompasses a difficult human taboo. The mother is wonderfully played.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
A great escapist movie. The chase scenes are remarkable. Unfortunatley the story line is unremarkable.
(Worth watching) - review by Kevin
A fairly grim movie. But an honest snapshot of a dysfunctional society and the way women have suffered. Our own culture was probably not too dissimilar a cenury or so ago.
(Excellent) - review by Kevin
This is one of the great Australian movies. A clever study of disloyalty. Kerry Armstrong is a subtle and moving actress.
