The reviews in the weekend papers here all basically slated the third installment... I didn't see anything higher than a 6/10.
These are not my types of films though, so excuse me while I slip back out the door ;D.

(hello Carnivále, i'm looking at you). Did you watch this? My gawd, what a strange, but very intriguing show. I only caught about half the episodes but thought it was very creatively, and oddly, put together

Suburban Mayhem. A train-wreck of a lead character: www.imdb.com/title/tt0450506/And the soundtrack is amazing. Adalita from Magic Dirt does a Patti Smith-esque cover called "Double Dare". It's a fucking riot.

I love Bukowski too, he's revolting, crude, cantankerous... all the qualities I love in a man ;D.

I'm definitely catching this when it comes out. Abbie Cornish is great too. It is apparently quite a brutal portrayal of the herion culture in inner-Sydney... And I'll admit, in certain moments, I don't mind me a bit of Heath either

I rented out 'Last Days', a Gus Van Sant film that was loosely based around Kurt Cobain's final moments on earth. SHIT MOVIE! BORING! GOES NOWHERE! WASTE OF MY TIME! ;D I didn't like it too much. Yea really? I still want to rent that somehow tho, been meaning to for a long time. I had been wanting to see it for a long time as well so was very disappointed. I thought perhaps it would have been a film which translated better to the big screen, but even the scenery shots or the stills of an open window watching a sillouhette of a man playing awful music lasted way too long.. like minutes focussed on nothing. And maybe that was the point, but it was a boring point and could have been more intelligently portrayed I think. Me after watching film: ;D I might rent out My Own Private Idaho again just to give Gus a chance for redemption!

Wow that looks great Peter. I hope it goes really, really well. Photography is one of my favourite forms of art, the magic in capturing moments that will never appear again. I studied photography for 2 years but didn't pursue it at the time. It was so expensive and I was a lowly student, but it is something I will go back to one day. It's a beautiful form of expression.

I felt the same with it Raspy, it was an emotional read that's for sure! It stayed with me for a long time too.. which i guess a good book does.

I think it had such a profound effect on me as I'm very aware of the Australian outback in terms of its vastness. To me it was utterly believable ... and it was a rainy Sunday afternoon when I saw it.. I wouldn't advise those with weak stomachs to see this film!

I have never been so scared from a movie EVER in my life. This movie left me shaking and in shock!! My friend Nic and I saw it together yesterday afternoon... www.wolfcreekthemovie.comWhat to say about Wolf Creek? It’s clear that the word-of-mouth surrounding this new Australian outback-horror film will ensure its success at the box office, despite its extremely confronting subject matter. This is a dark and unsettling film indeed, and thoroughly R-rated to boot – some of the scenes of violence are genuinely savage. The setup is simple: three twenty-something backpackers (Kestie Morassi, Cassandra Magrath and Nathan Phillips) buy a second-hand car and drive out into the bush heading for the Wolf Creek of the title – when they arrive days later, lo and behold, their car breaks down. When all hope seems lost, in the middle of the night a ute-driving loner (played by John Jarratt) turns up and offers his help. A couple of drinks around his campfire and the three young friends fall asleep, and then the trouble really starts…
In films of this type, the outback has often been the place where Bad Things happen; many people have compared Wolf Creek to Deliverance in this regard. We have our own history of this too: even Peter Weir’s amazing The Cars that Ate Paris depicted the inhabitants of a sleepy country town as depraved, paranoid, and potentially murderous. Wolf Creek, however, goes for the jugular; once the terror starts it is absolutely unrelenting, and many people have found the film too claustrophobic and its violence too intense. Despite that, it is a particularly well-made and effective piece of cinema, and it’s one that is certainly helping to put Australian filmmakers back on the world map (rights to the film have been sold for fantastic sums overseas). Well done to all concerned, but a caution is certainly warranted for cinemagoers: only see Wolf Creek if you have a very strong constitution.
