Review in a Nutshell: A sports movie set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, The Blood of Heroes is a surprisingly uplifting film with a spartan script and great performances, make-up, and production design. Don’t sleep on this one, folks. It’s fun on the bun.

Australians Always Observe Proper Helmet Safety.

Wear your color coordinated helmets, because BMX Bandits is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: This is an odd one. It’s a carefree children’s adventure movie filmed by a pioneer of violent, trashy Oz-ploitation flicks. BMX Bandits takes a while to deliver the bicycle-related goods and some of the stunts may seem tame by today’s standards, but overall this is a harmless kid’s movie filled with snarky, wise-cracking Australians.

My Brother’s Keeper

Beware of bargains that you can’t refuse, because The Proposition is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  A bleak film filled with complex characters and a plot of primal simplicity, The Proposition transplants the modern revisionist Western into the Australian Outback.  Savage and starkly beautiful, it can be difficult to watch, but it’s impossible to ignore.

Men WITH Hats.

Watch out for dingos, because Quigley Down Under is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:  A competently composed film set in the wild west of Australia, Quigley Down Under has solid performances, some dark undertones, and the coolest rifle in cinema history.

ERRATA:  I meant Men at Work, not Men Without Hats.  All of my music-related puns fail miserably.

Makin’ Bacon

Load up your kangaroo-shootin’ rifle, because Razorback is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherine the Great.

Review in a Nutshell:  At times strangely psychedelic, Razorback is a “killer critter” horror film with some strange artistic flourishes and a rather immobile giant boar puppet.  As Katherine says, this one falls somewhere in between Jaws and Jaws: The Revenge in terms of quality.

This movie contains:

Grandpa RAGE!

Typical Australian Hospitality.

There’s a giant rampaging boar hidden somewhere in this picture.  Can you spot it?
