Waiting... (I) (2005)

Lower grade Clerks rip off, but still very funny and really worth a look.

[19 May 2006]

Great movie, although it really rips off a lot of other things we've seen before.

I was still surprised that I got so many great laughs out of this film, these days a lot of comedy movies suck. They feature too much of this and not enough of that, movies used to be cool without using fluid jokes as a basis for a films humour.

Unfortunately, the two kids playing autistic white rappers, (especially the try-hard fat one) are the only downfall of the movie, a real bad imitation of Jay And Silent Bob for the underage stoners who'll be watching. Oh yeah, don't try the "goats head" stunt either, it's more painful than you'd think!

The music video played during the credits is really cr@p, sounds like a horny 12 year old wrote this?

Stingers (1998–2004)

Top show mate! When can we expect a DVD set?

I really loved Stingers! It was one of the great Aussie crime dramas. Sure it had ups and downs in terms of the plot and character development, but it always seemed to get back on track... well until the last season. That final episode was a huge let down to the entire show.

Great to see our local Melbourne locations being used to their fullest though, i think that was a definite highlight. Theme tune also rocked, especially in the early seasons of the show.

I'd like to see one last TV-movie perhaps? Just to tie up all those loose ends at the end of the show. Or a reunion TV special highlighting all the shows "great/worst moments"?
