Wog Boys Forever (2022)
Tired old rehash
This was not funny at all. The acting was terrible (what's happened to Vince Colosimo, he was good in the Underbelly series. I seriously would have had more fun tackling a yellow bellied black snake at a BBQ.
The first film came out in another era which is long past and this one doesn't hit the mark. A lot of the old Carlton crew are not around anymore for cheap funding also. If you like dad jokes and puerile humour this could be the film for you but for people that like a well crafted film with clever humour this is not for you.
I work with some old school Italians and Greeks and they will love this film.
Houseboat Horror (1989)
So bad it's good
This film is so bad it's good. In fact if you watch it you may bar up. It has some classic Aussie charactors performing roles. Neighbours fans should not miss this with a steller performance from Alan Dale.
The wildlife like the yellow belly black snack at the BBQ a highlight.
I Care a Lot (2020)
I liked it and so did my wife
I watched this film with my wife and without any expectation (it's very hard to find a film that we will both enjoy) and we both enjoyed it. I have rated it higher that it probably deserves but for the fact there are so low scores are totally unwarranted (maybe a 7 would be my best score).
Les Norton (2019)
Fun romp - don't take it too seriously
For a start I haven't read the Les Norton book(/s?). I have enjoyed this show and liked the performances of the characters. I only started watching at the end of September 2019 and I'm up to episode 9, would recommend this show
Squinters (2018)
Love this show
This show delivers laughs while touching on sensitive issues and leaves you questioning your own preconceived ideas. It's a thinking mans/womans/lgbt... panacea to the worlds problems all resolved in a simple drive to work and back.
Paddleton (2019)
Boring - don't waste your time
This was the most boring film I have ever watched. Because it was only 90 minutes I endured the whole lot waiting for it to get better, it didn't. The 2 main characters were just a couple of sad sacks with no redeeming attributes or warmth.
BoyTown Confidential (2007)
People are dying to see this
Remember the killer joke from Monty Python - this is the killer film. Anyone that watches never gets a chance to review it because it's so funny they die. Either that or the thugs in the scallop industry got to them.
Bad Eggs (2003)
Classic Aussie funny film
Great film, the thugs in the scallop industry would love it. Although be careful of those red bellied black snakes.
This is dizzy stuff folks. Tony Martin is a genius.
Up there with The Castle, Short Bus and Meat Pie.
Some of the scenes are comedy gold with the visual aspects great.
Do yourself a favor and get this film on Video Disc or VHS.
Martin uses Franklin's brilliant straight-faced delivery, to help keep things from getting too serious. The debutante also livens things up with the use two truly excellent sight-gags, one of which is a hilarious narrated recollection by Franklin's character.
This film is good enough to even forgive the increasingly embarrassing number of times (four I think!) that the top of the boom mike can be seen in a couple of scenes. I don't think Mr. Martin will skip any more editing sessions for future projects! His raw talent, however, is plain to see. That, and the intelligence displayed in not trying to turn his debut film into more than it should be, has me looking forward to his next project.
