Redux Friday rears it's ugly head...
Check out this HD video update from X here.
Well, a quick HD video update from the Australian film X, now in a different aspect ratio and with a new title Exit. And still with the arse in fishnet stockings in the promo. I kid you not... Exit. Arse. Exit. Arse. Oh, whatever...
Finally, finally gotten around to seeing the Australian film The Eye of the Storm today, as it has been out for 6 weeks. Basically a parade of pretty awesome actors plying the craft and I was pleasantly surprised that I sort of liked it. OK then... Anyway, there's some brief nudity in the film from Nikki Shiels, who shows her breasts and side-boob in a brief sex scene with Geoffrey Rush (yes, you read right). Also, Alexandra Schepisi, the director's daughter... has a scene in her bra and short skirt and a sex scene in a dress with Geoffrey Rush (I'm not saying it again) that was his mother's dress... Strangely, this film is classified with Strong Sex Scenes and well, they are hardly strong. Sleeping Beauty has the same classification and it is way more sexual than The Eye of the Storm...

Australian Classics for 25 October...
As promised, another Australian Classic.
A Dangerous Summer (Flashfire, Burning Man whatever else it was called) is a 1982 thriller that begins with a bushfire that is threatening a development run by Howard Anderson (American actor Tom Skerritt). But, there is more devious actions afoot. Some dicey company is using the bushfire to scam insurance money which is discovered by Sophie McCann (Wendy Hughes, wasted and humiliated...) who is then killed off to silence her. At the same time, insurance investigator George Engels (the great James Mason. slumming it majorly) comes to town to investigate some anomalies. Howard has a school girl daughter Maggie (Kim Deacon) who has a boyfriend who seems to be perfect, but maybe he isn't and all these things come to a head, how, I dunno, and neither do the makers of the film. With a screenplay written as it was been filmed (and boy does it show), this terrible thriller is utterly forgettable, completely predictable while making little sense and at times just plain laughable. James Mason has some embarrassing moments, one in the climatic scene has to be seen to be believed. Tom Skerritt tries valiantly, but he's no match for this piece of shit that should've gone down in flame, with the gratuitous nudity kept in tact, of course...
As I mentioned in the below Australian Classic, Hoodwink, both films feature gratuitous nudity from Wendy Hughes and Kim Deacon, with Kim Deacon almost reenacting her scene from Hoodwink. I also have the first DVD release of this film in fullscreen which may be the worst DVD I've ever seen. Thank fuck for those Gods at Umbrella re-releasing, but really, this film is pure shit. I've said that already, right?
One of the worst Australian films ever...

Australian Classics for 24 October...
A couple of films about corrupt cops and such.
Grievous Bodily Harm is a 1988 noir thriller that follows two men whose paths will converge. Morris (John Waters) is a school teacher who is obsessed with find his apparently dead wife. He obsessively watches a sex tape with wife Claudine (Joy Bell) and another couple. After hitting a kid in class, he is suspended and has time to himself. At an Austen Tayshus gig (of all places...), he thinks he spies Claudine and decides to find out where Claudine is. Turns out he's a psychopath and will kill anyone who lies to him along the way. Tom (Colin Friels) is a journalist/writer who has just taken $150,000 from a drug courier before he dies in a car crash and was supposed to be for the courier's daughter. He is close to crooked detective Ray Birch (Bruno Lawrence) and when Morris kills Vivian (Caz Lederman) and dumps her body, Tom is called in to cover it. Turns out there's a lot more to the story as Vivian's husband is a chief surgeon cum attempted brothel owner and wants that covered up. Oh and Claudine is alive and well. And fucked if I know how it ends and it stops making sense and just becomes a series of events that I can't work out how it got to the end. There's a decent thriller here, but it must make sense for that to happen. If anyone wants to help me work it out, get in touch...
Just a word on Grievous Bodily Harm, the film itself features no nudity whatsoever, but the Gods at Umbrella has unearthed an editor's workprint which has a shitload of sex tape action which was cleaned up in the film. So, you'll see that the workprint videos are incomplete and sketchy but extremely watchable. But man the workprint is weird to watch, it completely lacks atmosphere.
The Custodian is a 1993 corrupt cop thriller about a detective, James Quinlan (Anthony LaPaglia in fine form), who sees his life falling apart with a deadbeat wife and shitbox apartment while his partner Church (Hugo Weaving, in Red Skull mode) is living it up. When a raid of an illegal casino seems fishy, Quinlan has had enough. He accuses Church of corruption to his face, which he denies. Seemingly out of his depth with a slew of high up cops involved, Quinlan launches an audacious plan to take down Church and everyone else. He decides to become corrupt to. But, he will do so to bring everyone down. He enlists the help of a hotshot current affairs reporter (Kelly Dingwall, Dodge from early Home and Away. Where the hell did he go?), you know, when they actually reported on current affairs, to get the word out, with the help of the only good internal affairs cop (Barry Otto, also good in this film), they'll bring down the bums, but it's going to come at a cost. Excellent thriller with superb performances from a strong cast (also including Bill Hunter, Gosia Dobrowolska, Essie Davis on debut looking pretty damn gorgeous and a pre-Gross Misconduct Naomi Watts), well possibly not Hugo Weaving, he's been better many times over though. It's an ambitious plot, but gripping and well directed. Shame the film has sort of being lost as it features a rare Aussie role from LaPaglia and well and truly his best.
Another Aussie Classic tomorrow.

Update for 15 October...
Let's head to America.
Animals is about Syd (Marc Blucas) who is having a really bad day, no let's make that life. A former star local footballer, he is now stuck in his old home town working a dead end job at a construction site and getting wasted at the local bar nightly. Enter Nora (Nicky Aycox), who strolls into the bar one night and immediately goes for Syd and they go to his house, have relations and she bites him and all of a sudden, Syd feels like a new man with these new animals instincts. After fucking each others brains out like all good animals do, Nora is found by her former partner Vic (Naveen Andrews) who wants Nora all for himself and takes her back forcefully wanting her to continue their raid of America. But Nora wants out and it's up to Syd to harness his new found animal instincts to save the imprisoned Nora and stop Vic. And the person who will give him that drive to harness his powers is his long time pal Jane (Eva Amurri) who has a secret of her own which Syd will find out after some more fucking... Ha, I was quite surprised at the amount of sex in this film. I knew there was some, but there's a whole 20 minute block where that's all that pretty much happens. Not that I'm complaining, no, not at all as Nicky Aycox is quite something here. Shame the film doesn't reach for greater heights, it's passable fun, but still silly all the same. We don't get enough erotic thrillers as it is, particularly with actors who aren't totally Z-grade, so when a B-grade erotic thriller comes along, even though it's not really an erotic thriller in the technical sense, we must celebrate it cos they're few and far between nowadays.

Australian Classics for 10 October...
As promised, another Australian Classic.
Hoodwink is a 1981 crime drama about a slippery armed robber Martin Stang (John Hargreaves) who is on the run from the cops, but is tracked down to his long suffering girlfriend Lucy's (Wendy Hughes) house. Arrested, he convinces the cops to take him to see his father to which he gets a gun and escapes and meets Marion (Kim Deacon) and he holes up with her until he is arrested again. In jail, he hatches a plan to get himself out, so he fakes being blind. Although there is some scepticism from the guards, he manages to get certain priviledges including being allowed out of prison for a few hours once a week under the guardianship of a local preacher (Dennis Miller) and his wife (Judy Davis). During this time, he falls for the preacher's wife. Baffling mess of a film that starts as a sort of caper film and bizarrely turns into a sombre romantic drama. Hoodwink screams of having major problems during production, apparantly it went through 4 top notch directors before settling on British TV director Claude Whatham, who seems to have pissed off everyone. And it shows. The sudden change of mood is quite disarming and doesn't make a lot of sense and while the film showed some promise as a caper, as a drama, it is severely undercooked and utterly pointless. John Hargreaves is excellent in the lead and has to carry the whole film, but even he can't save the film from itself. Bah!
The nudity in this film is fairly gratitious which is quite surprising, especially Kim Deacon's scene. But then, maybe it isn't surprising in this mess of a film. Funnily enough, both Wendy and Kim are naked in A Dangerous Summer released the next year. Must get around to that soon...

Australian VHS Classics for 9 October...
I haven't been to the dusty VHS vault for a few months so a request has got me to reopen it and pick out a couple of pretty much forgotten movies. Now I have to clear the schnapel...
The Surfer is a 1986 Brisbane and Queensland based noir thriller from the director of that classic Hostage: The Christine Maresch Story, that thrusts surfer Sam Barlow (Gary Day) into a world he wants nothing to do with. Invited to a friend's party, he is approached by a woman who gives him a note to give to his friend. His friend reacts immediately to the note and goes out to a park with Sam and witnesses his friend being murdered by a couple of Vietnamese men. He attempts to stop them, but they get away. All Sam wants to do now is find out why this happened and who was that woman who gave him the note for the sake of the murdered's wife (Kris McQuade). This leads him to a casino owned by hot shot Hagan (Rod Mullinar) who becomes very concerned with Sam taking an interest in his dealings. This leads Sam to the woman who gave him a note, Gina (Gosia Dobrowolska, gorgeous as ever) and when Hagan puts two and two together, he gets bent cop Calhoun (Tony Barry) on the trail to kill them both when Sam and Gina go on the run. When Sam accidentally impales Calhoun when they tussle, Hagan brings in the big guns to kill them and stop Gina revealing his nefarious plans. Totally forgotten film that is an absolute little gem that only fails when the plot is fully unveiled to reveal something utterly preposterous, but lays some great groundwork before end. Day is very good as a man well and truly out of his depth and Dobrowolska is as sexy as ever. More well known for her various Paul Cox roles, she been in a sort of semi-retirement from acting, so it was great to see her recently in an episode of East West 101 still looking amazing after all these years. Shame this film will never be seen again, but I'm glad I picked it out on a whim.
The Empty Beach, a 1985 noir thriller, set along the glamourous Sydney Harbour, is about Cliff Hardy (Bryan Brown, who else...), a private eye who has been hired by lonely widow Marion Singer (Belinda Giblin) to find her husband, who's been dead for two years, but a newly arrived note suggests he is very much alive. It seems John Singer is a man who pissed off a lot of the underworld. A journalist Brian Henneberry (Nick Tate), had been looking into Singer's dealings before he died. And he had dealings with a shady character called MacLeary (Ray Barrett). Also, a very rich powerful man named Fred Ward had dealings with Singer. When Henneberry does some digging into Singer, he has his throat cut while surfing (!!) as Hardy is watching. The police including a detective Parker (John Wood) want to know who killed Henneberry, but Hardy is holding back and wants to run his own investigation, which the police give him 72 hours to get what he wants. With the help of Henneberry's protege/lover Anne Winter (Anna Maria Monticelli, with long hair!), Hardy uncovers some incredibly shonky dealings and a mystery that should've stayed unsolved, well at least make a scintilla of sense... Yeah, this film, an early production for uber TV producer John Edwards, is utterly preposterous and I can't make head or tail of it. This film so wants to emulate that sleazy, sweaty, ugly noir of the 40s and 50s, but is an absolute mess. Bryan Brown is so good here, he saves the film from disappearing up it's own arse by giving his a highly charismatic performance, but the plot is hard to make sense and the ending is enough to pull out a gun and shot whoever started the ball rolling. Not a bad film as it has interesting and quite creepy touches (the old folk's home scene is particularly memorable), but too full of it's own cleverness to ever be a great film. Sometimes the simpler the plot the better the film is, look at The Surfer above.
As with all VHS works, the quality varies, The Empty Beach came out alright, but The Surfer is pretty poor. I wouldn't have capped it if there was a chance of a DVD release, but as I said above, it's totally forgotten and I'd never heard of it until just recently and didn't even know what it was about until I watched it. A pleasant surprise indeed.
OK, another Aussie Classic, this time from DVD in the next day or so and then I'll move on to some international films. Maybe even do some big series on the TV side which I've been neglecting recently thanks to time constraints.

Update for 6 October...
Let's Irish up this site a bit more. Geez, I hope I don't have more Irish films cos I got plenty of puns...
Holy Water is a comedy about 4 lovable losers living in a a small town that has hit hard times. The town used to be a tourist destination for it's spas and a local attraction called the Holy Well, but now the town is dead. One of the lovable losers sees a truck delivering Viagra pass the same route everyday and hatches a plan with the others to hold up the truck and steal a delivery so that they can sell it to whoever wants it in Amsterdam. The robbery, while not going to plan, is actually pulled off, but the robbery brings in an American security team who are ruthless in getting the drugs back. So, they hide it in a sack in some water but it seeps through into the town's water supply and everyone in town starts drinking it and you can guess what happens next. Like Sensation below, this is a small film, but at least the movie is trying for something bigger. There's a few American actors (Linda Hamilton, 'Tiny' Lister, Lisa Catara) and the mood is lighthearted, even if there really isn't many laughs. It's an OK film and that's about the best I can say about it.

Update for 4 October...
You know what, let's head to Ireland.
Sensation is a drama about Donal (Domhnall Gleeson, son of Brendan) whose father has just died and left him with the farm. Feeling lonely and desperate for female company, he finds a local escort service on the Internet and chooses Courtney (New Zealand actress Luanne Gordon). They meet and have relations and Donal becomes enraptured with her. When Courtney (real name Kim) is kicked out of her house, Donal helps her by letting her stay at his farm. While there, they hatch a plan to start their own escort service with the apartment Donal is given by a benefactor and hire girls to join the service. But, things don't go to plan. It seems it's illegal to run an unlicensed escort service... A rather small film with not a lot of ambition above telling a simple story about a lonely man and the prostitute he has fallen hard for. It's an OK film, but it's lack of ambition stops the film from being better than it is. Donal is a rather ratty character, hard to find sympathy for even when a nice local girl (played by Kelly Campbell) takes a shine to him. He still wants his damaged goods.

Australian Classics for 3 October...
Back to the 80s again.
Heatwave is a thriller set in Sydney about the fight against old town houses being torn down to make massive high-rise developments. Kate Dean (Judy Davis) is a local who works on the local paper and is heavily involved in campaign against the development. The development is some sort of massive apple tree inspired complex funded by Peter Houseman (Chris Haywood) and designed by hot shot architect Stephen West (Richard Moir). The head of the campaign, Mary Ford, disappears, possibly murdered and some people who live in the town houses are killed in a way to make it look like an accident. Stephen gets a conscious and decides to do his own snooping around and finds something is indeed rotten and a local sleaze king is very heavily involved and it looks like Kate is going to be next. Directed by Phillip Noyce (director of Salt, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, The Saint, Rabbit Proof Fence, Dead Calm etc.) and with a story pretty much the same as The Killing of Angel Street released in the same year, this is a solid thriller with excellent leads, well Judy Davis is always good even if she manages to piss everyone off on set (sounds like she did here). Noyce is a very reliable filmmaker with not really any bad films to his name and Heatwave is well worth a look.
