About The Site

The movie comes out very soon. I really want it to do well. I am going to see it and I want everyone else to as well. It would be so awesome if the movie did well. It would be the global success that the Australian film industry needs.

People always complain about the lack of quality Aussie films being made, but they don’t do much to rectify the situation. They don’t support the good flicks when they do come out.

No one got out and saw Ned Kelly, but they would just as easily go out and see whatever schlock the US hype machine was busting out. Shit, Beverly Hills Chihuahua just became the highest grossing Disney release ever for November, or something like that. Hell, it made any money at all, that sickens me.

So get out there and see Australia when it’s released. I bet you saw Pearl Harbour. I bet you saw Dances With Wolves. I bet you saw a lot more romance flicks over the past year, and ones that you really didn’t have to.

I keep thinking these two thoughts. I respect Baz Luhrmann a lot, his Romeo + Juliet is still one of the most jarring pieces of cinema to come out of nowhere that I have seen in years. And, I think that Hugh Jackman is the mad note, and he should be followed into hell and back, not that he would ever end up there, the brother is Wolvie, he’s got fanboy cred right up to the big guy.

Buy your tickets, watch the show, enjoy it, tell your friends about it and be thankful that you did something. Rather than support a crappy American industry, that you know you would if they made the Yank equivalent of this flick (again), you got out there and made this movie the biggest Aussie flick ever! It can be done, the change that Australia needs is coming.
