"Spottswood" aka "The Efficiency Expert" (Australia - 1992)

Strange movie about "loyalty, betrayal, lust and footwear". Efficiency
expert
Anthony Hopkins shows workers in a mocassin factory (Australia 1966) how
to produce
more with less. With very young Toni Collette and Russell Crowe, and
the superb Aussi
actor Bruno Lawrence. Bizarre even by Australian standards (their films
seem to be
quite a bit looser than ours). I'm not sure why Hopkins is in this film.
Lasted about
45 minutes and nodded off.

He was from New Zealand (born in England), and he was really suberb.
It's sad that he died with 54 years. My favourite Lawrence film is Geoff
Murphy's "Utu".

"Smash Palace " (New Zealand - 1981) My error on Australia. I have a
tendency
to lump Australia and New Zealand together - though in these post Peter
Jackson
days, I had better be careful.

He's the best thing about the already great Aussie comedy series,
"Frontline", as a manipulative tabloid TV news producer.

A SOUND OF THUNDER



It's actually worse than I'd heard, which I didn't think was possible.



It's actually worse than every David Caruso project - combined.

Lat Movie Watched - "The Wrong Box" (British 1966) Nutty comedy about a tontine. A very young Michael Caine holds his own against Wilfred Lawson, John Mills and Ralph Richardson. A treat. Marv

The first movie(s) you watched this year? - 2046--like In the Mood for Love, it's as meticulous, obsessive and as boring at times as a Bryan Ferry solo record but perfect viewing for the early hours of the new year. Caught Infernal Affairs 2 earlier in the day and Carina Lau's a terrific actress...

Just watched JU-ON 2 - I Just watched JU-ON 2. It was far better than the first. The story was better tied together and the atmosphere was more creepy. I didn't understand the ending though. Was Kayako reincarnated and for what purpose? Any recomendations for other asia..

Just Watched AvP... - I actually liked it better the second time around ... Certainly not a great film, but Anderson is a true fan ... Any word of a sequal (they sure set it up ) or a second go round for Freddy vs Jason ... oddly ... that one, I liked better in the theater .....

Just watched F4 -
