Anak (2000)
Breathtaking....; Amazing
Where to begin ? Anak (or 'The Child' as it is known in the West) is an absolutely amazing movie, a movie so powerful that it deserves to be watched by everyone. The Story is set around Josie and her family, Many years ago - Josie had to leave her family and become a domestic over-seas so she that she could provide money to support her family, when Josies husband dies, Josie returns to her family to take over her job as mother, but when she returns, her family is anything but loving and welcoming.
The acting in this movie is magnificent, I had never heard of Vilma Santos until I watched Anak, however after seeing it I had to rent out some of her other movies, the emotion shown by Vilma, and the other actors is amazing and at times you really can find yourself believing that this family is real. There were times in the movie I laughed, times I cried, but I loved every second of it, and it blows almost every Hollywood movie out of the water.
Anak just goes to show that a movie dosn't need to have sex, drugs & violence, and also not be a Children's movie to be excellent and a must-see for the entire family
10/10
Avoca (2002)
It made me feel uneasy
I'm a fan of Foreign film, and not much comes out of Australia, but when I heard about this Mondo; Mock-Shockumentry from Australia I just had to get my hands on a copy!
Avoca is about revealing all the deep dark secrets of seemingly beautiful, sunny beach town of Avoca in Australia. The Narrators voice is chillingly calm and this movie manages to blend in actors with real footage of Avoca.
Complete with Wife Swapping, Rape, Mothers on Drugs & Fathers drunk out of their mind, Locals savagely beating and killing tourists, Suicides .. It may not be up there with Shocking Asia, or Shocking Africa, but Avoca will no doubt make you feel a little uneasy.
Country Girls 2 (2004)
A "WWE Divas" DVD with a Little more "T" than "A"
Country Girls 2 see's a bunch of women who work for the Softcore Pornography company "Peach DVD" travel out to the country for a Photoshoot gone wild.
Featuring 1-on-1 photoshoots and interviews with each woman, you'll get to see girls playing naked pool, and posing naked in various country themed places, such as Bars, Saloons etc.
Country Girls 2 is a boring DVD, it is listed as Adult, but there isn't anything remotely "hardcore" in this DVD, if you're after something a little harder, go elsewhere, however If average looking women posing topless and naked do it for you ... Still try elsewhere because Country Girls 2 fails at that.
A very disappointing DVD, even for fans of the DVD's cover girl "Tylene Buck"
