I worship Howard Hawks’ films…Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Red River, and Rio Bravo are wonderful pieces of entertainment. As I was watching Australia, the unusual Baz Luhrmann movie with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, I kept thinking…man, Baz must really adore Hawks’ movies, too.

As evidenced by the films above, the mismatched couple who fight and fight until they realize they’re perfect for each other (gaze Noteworthy Ado About Nothing, Taming of the Shrew, and Moonlighting as other examples of the do) and the group of underestimated misfits who arrive together to fight imperfect are two spacious elements ancient again and again by Hawks. Throw in a bit of John Ford’s The Searchers and its hard explore at racism leading to inhuman deeds and mix well and you have…Australia.
The pickle unusual audiences may have with Luhrmann’s recent movie is it’s very, very earnest. This is straight ahead memoir storytelling with its heart on its sleeve and hat and boots with never a wink to the crowd in the theater to say “ain’t these people quaint”. You either select in or you don’t. If you do, like I did, you’re in for a hell of a journey.

This, I feel, is the flip-side to The Sunless Knight. Generous and foul are trapped in something akin to a battle and an embrace in Nolan’s Gotham City. You root for Batman, but he does stuff that is on the harmful side of freedom and civil rights. The Joker is pure crazy, but he’s the most mesmerizing character in the film. In Australia, there are apt guys and terrible guys and you are either really superior or twirl your mustache faulty. The main villain actually may be a bit too two-dimensional in that aspect, but it didn’t wound my overall enjoyment.
Why? Well, chronicle melodrama is hard to pull off…I’m talking about the loyal stuff here. The current BBC production of Bleak House is a gargantuan example. There are very satisfactory and very, very terrible people in that fable, but the acting is so improbable you rarely if ever gain yourself rolling your eyes (like whenever I’ve watched Smallville…see: poor myth melodrama) . Kidman and Jackman sell their characters…the displaced Englishwoman and the rough-hewn “Drover”. They are thrown together honest to, initially it seems, thwart a horrible cattle baron from monopolizing the beef industry in the country. But the other gigantic yarn, the main one in fact, centers around Australia’s “lost generation”. These were Aboriginal children who were fathered by white men who didn’t claim them. They were taken by the government, the mothers had no rights, and handed over to the church to be taught to “act white” and then work in the servant class. Nullah, played by the unbelievable child actor Brandon Walters, is one of these “creamies” who has been hidden on the ranch now owned by Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman) . Lady Ashley discovers what is going on, is shy by the law, and works to sustain him hidden as well. Why the Drover cares so worthy about Nullah becomes positive later in the film (no, it’s not what you mediate…that would be too easy) and Jackman’s experience with stage and musical work does him proud here. He can do earnest better than almost any actor alive when he needs to and his later spend of the f-word (the only curse I can remember from the entire film) hits so hard, in fair the proper emotional moment, that it kills. Russell Crowe was originally cast as the Drover but backed out. If Crowe had done the film, and I have liked him in other things…the Napoleon-era British navy film that I can’t remember the name of suitable now, it would not have worked. Crowe never loses that bit of edge and the Drover, at one point, really has to fully smash down and become completely vulnerable. Jackman shines at that point.
Anyway…a warning, the movie is long 2 hours and 40something minutes, but I didn’t realize that until I had left the theater. I saw it alone…I was out of town at a pediatrics meeting…and that’s a edifying thing. I didn’t have to screen from Holly the few times the movie hit me a bit too hard and do that cough-throat clearing thing we dudes do to cloak up a stray journey.
I was looking forward to seeing this movie when it was release leisurely last year given all the hype, and was not dissappointed!
Director, Baz Luhman, has served up a slab of nostalgia ala Australian style with all those lovely elements we cherish from films of the 40′s and 50′s, breathtaking, sweeping landscapes, lovely costumes and two aesthetic actors in Kidman and Jackman who win the essence of the film. It nostalgia in every sense of the word, in every frame. The acting style reminds us of Bogart, Grant, Bacall and Dunne. The yarn is yarn in every draw and honest blooming. I loved the salute to “The Wizard of Oz”a really nice touch!
Of course we all know how it’s going to waste. Watching Australia was like eating a box of Quality Street chocolates. Clear I know what I’m getting, but I unruffled adore it.
For those of you who want to consume a few hours (and I mean a few; it’s almost 3 hours) being completely entertained then thisis the movie for you. I only wished they had inserted an interval on it’s theatrical release and made the whole event at the movies a sincere nostalgic experience.
I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like this movie, unless you unbiased aren’t up for a feel expedient describe. I want to notice more movies being made like this!!!! Well done to all!!!

A Pretty Good Year!
Kill Theory: This is an above average slasher, with a sort of “Saw” flavoring (though nowhere near as gory). A group of graduating college kids holed up in a cabin are told only one of them can survive till the morning or they’ll all be killed. The rare slasher where the character development actually pays off.
The Graves: Mal-direction and less-than-tight editing make the actors look bad (even Tony Todd!) in this “Texas Chainsaw” meets “The Devil’s Rain” story. Two girls are stalked by maniacs in mining town, then by crazy culty townsfolk. Standout performance by Bill Moseley. The Grave sisters themselves are easy on the eyes and had good chemistry. Marred by run-of-the-mill-ishness and some unbelievably bad choices.
Zombies of Mass Destruction: Sharp, funny, campy, gory, and fast-paced for the first two thirds. A Persian-American woman and a gay couple return to their hometown in time for a zombie invasion. Very left politically, but okay until political bent takes over last third, when movie bogs down with torture scenes, and a church confrontation. With “Dread”, Best in Show.
Hidden (Skjult): Broody Norwegian film about a crazy guy who goes back to childhood home and the bodies start stacking up. Is he doing it? Or is it the changeling who he left to his abusive mothers’ devices on the night he escaped? Almost had me believing it wasn’t going to end in the obvious way.
Dread: Clive Barker produces first-time director Anthony diBlasi in this tense adapation of Barker’s short. Little boy Quaid sees his parents murdered with an axe and grows up with nightmares–fear of the axe murderer’s return. Two film students are seduced by the idea of studying dread for their final project, but when the results don’t deliver what Quaid wants, he goes to greater and greater extremes to get them. Disturbingly violent, with plenty of typically Barker-esque mixing of sex and horror. Best in Show with “ZMD”.
The Reeds: English movie about something haunting the Norfolk Broads. Many attempts to distract from actual story (which is run-of-the-mill) tend to dilute the effect it should have. A rather typical, somewhat muddled ghost story, with some very good moments.
The Final: Boorish kids are punished by their oddball classmates. “Breakfast Club” meets “Silence of the Lambs”. Or something. Extreme stereotypes clash. Movie depicts terrible torture, but in an oddly bloodless and detached way.
Lake Mungo: Not a horror movie. Realize that going in. If “The Reeds”, “Hidden” and “The Final” feel low key, they’re high-powered adrenaline-fueled thrill rides compared to Mungo. This movie is a documentary about the family and friends of a missing girl, with the family being semi-sorta haunted by the missing girl. Since it’s all happening in the past, with the people relating in the present, a great deal of potential menace is gone. Since it’s all secondhand, it’s also a little abstract for anything really visceral. if you can stay awake, it’s not bad. Stunning video of Australia.
Kind of a low-key year, but not a bad one.
There’s something in The Reeds
Set in the Norfolk Broads, a desolate but photogenic part of the UK, six attractive Brits go on a weekend boating trip on the Corsair Star to celebrate two of their number getting engaged to each other, little realising that there’s more to the reeds than, well, the reeds. There’s laughing, joking, high-jinks, and then some weird local kids appear and things start getting creepy. Suddenly the film turns, as most good horrors do, from nicey-nicey to oh-my-God-how much nastier can it get??? I think that the final act could probably have done with a little bit more thought, but I don’t think the film suffers terribly from this. To the contrary, for the most part it’s an extremely watchable horror. The slightly retro feel is very ‘movie’: you can tell this was shot on film and not digital, and the piece benefits from this.
The girl who plays the lead ‘Laura’ (Anna Brewster) is very good, natural and believable and the Brit TV actor Will Mellor makes a great, humorous and then horrific (in a good way) impression. The cinematography is good, very good in fact. From a directing/writing perspective there’s certainly not too much fat on the story, and what is clever is that there’s sufficient misdirection to keep the eventual outcome in the balance. I think this would deserve another half-star IF – and only IF – the last act had had a bit more thought, and maybe punch but then some will really love it and some won’t.
Three point seven-five stars, which Amazon nicely rounds up to four for me.
Nice attempt at creativity, but falters somewhat
It’s a shame that After Dark Horrorfest 4 only got a week long run in the theater. The Reeds is the second film I was able to catch on the big screen, and it was a solid attempt by writer Chris Baker and director Nick Cohen.
The story is pretty basic–a group of 20-something year old friends embark on a weekend boating trip through the Norfolk Broads. Disaster strikes as something stalks them from the reedy tidewaters.
This story is developed pretty well, taking its time with character development and building tension. There is solid acting from the cast, plus believable dialogue. The setting is superb, as the tall reeds in the water make for difficult navigation. But when a horrible accident occurs, things start to sink rather quickly.
I’m all for a story with a mysterious deadly force wrecking havoc on an unsuspecting crew. Nothing groundbreaking, but it provides one hell of a creepy story. But eventually I’d like to have some sort of halfway legitimate explanation of the evil forces–what the hell is going on here? Ghosts, demons, river bandits, dopplegangers, zombies? It seemed this film didn’t really know where to go, so it decided to go nowhere.
Plus the end was totally ridiculous. Not wanting to give anything away, but it seemed to me (and several people in the theater) to just be a bad joke on the audience.
Maybe with another attempt I’ll get more out of this film. As for now, I can only recommend it for bored horror fanatics. 2.5 stars

4 Stars for the B&W movie, 5000 Stars for the Aussie version!
This appears to be the old B&W movie with Virginia McKenna and Peter Finch. A very good but dated movie based on the wonderful Neville Shute book.
The Australian TV mini-series is light years better – in fact is one of the greatest movies ever made.
I hope some day it’s released on DVD. Until then I still have my old VHS copy.
makes you want to kwai
A Msterpiece Theatre TV mini-series of the Nevil Shute story makes most war dramas since sloppy and unrealistic (U-571). This short novel send-up was the real deal, starring many fine actors, both Japanes and British. Told in flashback to Harry Andrews, the romantic leads are Helen Morse and a new-comer, Bryan Brown. What is missing today in any Hollywood love story is the struggle, sacrifice and testingt of potential partners dramatized throughout this series. The tension of the unselfish pair, builds to s surprise climax, but you would lose considerable enjoyment if you miss any of the realistic events that tested their resilience and courage, both the captors and the captives, when war intervenes. Well-rounded characters throughout this landscape of despair, suffering and hopefulness. A shame to be shelved this long not on DVD. Think of “Bridge on the River Kwai” with romance too.
Above average Australian Mini-series..!!
This is a very interesting and well written mini-series from Australia that tells the story of a group of Australian and British women and children who are captured by the Japanese at the outbreak of WW2. Separated from their husbands, they are forced to march many miles to the prison camp. Without food or medicine, they suffer many hardships. They run across a couple of Aussie POW’s who give them some food. After the war one of the women goes back tho the hometown of one of the men. A not to be missed program. NOT for the faint of heart or for younger children. Stars Bryan Brown as one of the POW’s.

More than 60 years ago, Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor. During the months which followed, the United States struggled to recover as Japanese military victories continued throughout the Pacific. This film is based on William Lindsay White’s interviews of four members of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three, published as They Were Expendable in 1942. John Ford and Robert Montgomery co-directed and Montgomery also stars as Lieutenant John Brickley. Throughout distinguished of this film, Brickley’s squadron only provides courier service between Bataan and Corregidor. When given the opportunity, however, Squadron Three does manage to sink several of the enemy’s ships as the Japanese complete their conquest of the Philippines, eventually forcing the American forces to surrender.
With regard to the film’s title, not all of those interested with resisting the Japanese were expendable. General Douglas Mac Arthur is ordered by President Roosevelt to relocate with his family and staff to Australia. Brickley’s squadron makes their flee possible. As the film ends, he and Lieutenant J.G. “Rusty” Ryan (John Wayne) return to the United States on the last plane out. Their men will now be fighting on foot…at least for a while. In the final scene, as they coast proudly down the beach and the plane carrying Brickley and Ryan rises above them, the soundtrack offers a muted choral rendition of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” A distinctive Ford touch.
The greatness of this film is best explained in terms of (a) the generally non-verbal but nonetheless end relationships between Brickley and Ryan, and, between them and their crews; (b) the romantic feelings shared by Ryan and Lieutenant Sandy Davys (Donna Reed) which Ford never permits to deteriorate into sentimentality; (c) Montgomery’s highly-effective portrayal of a soft-spoken leader; and (d) Wayne’s (for me) surprisingly subtle and sensitive performance, perhaps equaled (in terms of nuance) only by his performances in The Searchers and The Shootist.

It is worth noting, also, that Ford as well as his cast and crew obviously had big respect for the men and women in the American military services. They avoid all of the pitfalls which slay so many other war films. For example, character stereotyping (e.g. including a philosophical Jewish cab driver from Brooklyn) and using melodramatic music to manipulate a viewer’s emotions during especially dramatic moments. This film has integrity in all respects, suggesting that although many of those whom it portrays may have been expendable, they are nonetheless admirable.
John Ford’s THEY WERE EXPENDABLE tells the chronicle of the fledgling PT (patrol torpedo) boat branch of the US Navy and its valorous, and futile, defense of Manila immediately following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Few directors own the passionate affection Ford has for his subjects. Ford idolizes and idealizes his soldiers and sailors. As a consequence, his movies usually aren’t very region driven. Rather, they are tone poems, fancy letters to the warriors he so deeply admires. Not that TWE doesn’t hit a major brand or two – the PT boat role as a fighting arm is established, battles are fought and boats are sunk. Yet Ford never seems all that keen in serving space points. He wants to paint Heroes. In any other director this romantic treatment would seem trite and contrived, but Ford practically built the cliché, so I notify if anyone has the correct to utilize it, it’s Ford.
Ford’s heroes die talking. Rare is the mortally distress Ford warrior who is not borne from the noisy cauldron of battle to a peaceful corner and allowed a passing speech. I don’t mean to mock this, but I’ve never experienced the well of misfortune such scenes are meant to evoke. It happens a brief time or two in TWE, but the moments are over snappy enough.
If Ford’s choice and treatment of material is romantic and sentimental, it’s fortunate that his actors usually aren’t. Robert Montgomery and John Wayne star and both give restrained performances as PT boat commanders. Ford surrounds them with his usual cast of highly competent character actors – Ward Bond, Jack Holt, et al – and seamlessly integrates shots of genuine combat in battle scenes. There’s a scene where two PT boats attack a Japanese cruiser that is one of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen.
THEY WERE EXPENDABLE is a spacious war movie.

Gerson Therapy, or Chemotherapy: Guess which one has less than 3% success?
It has been said that more people live off cancer than die from it. The Beautiful Truth is a movie that can put a stop to this travesty. Here is a very practical guide to the intensive nutritional treatment of cancer and other life-threatening diseases that many would consider to have been impossible to obtain. But thanks to the work of Max Gerson, M.D., and his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, this knowledge is readily available.
Max Gerson cured cancer. He did so with a strict fat-free, salt-free, low-protein, essentially vegetarian dietary regimen, based on great quantities of fresh vegetable juice, supplements, and systemic detoxification. Ms. Gerson explains:
“Dr. Gerson found that the underlying problems of all cancer patients are toxicity and deficiency. He had to overcome both these difficulties. He found that one of the important features of his therapy had to be the hourly administration of fresh vegetable juices. These supply ample nutrients, as well as fluids to help flush out the kidneys. When the high levels of nutrients re-enter tissues, toxins accumulated over many years are forced into the blood stream. The toxins are then filtered out by the liver. The liver is easily overburdened by the continuous release of toxins and is unable to release the load. Dr. Gerson found that he could provide help to the liver by the caffeine in coffee, absorbed from the colon via the hemorrhoidal vein, which carries the caffeine to the portal system and then to the liver. The caffeine stimulates the liver/bile ducts to open, releasing the poisons into the intestinal tract for excretion.”
Some of the blunt, uncompromising statements this movie makes are certain to get up the medical profession’s collective nose. Too bad for them, for Dr. Gerson was right. And as for Charlotte, his daughter, her entire life has been immersed in healing people, first learning while assisting her father, and later teaching his method to the world.
I personally have seen what the Gerson program can do for a terminally ill cancer patient. I have been called upon to help in a couple of high-profile but last minute cases. One patient was a well-known sports figure. He was given some months to live and was not happy about it, as he was still in his 50s. He asked what his best shot would be for inoperable, untreatable metastasized cancer. I told him: the Gerson therapy. He did it, not in its entirety, but with enthusiasm. And, he lived considerably longer that he was expected to. But what really impressed me was the dramatic improvement in his energy level. From fatigue and weakness, he went instantly to a vibrant life, commencing from the very week he started the program. He maintained a more-than-full schedule for so long that even people who knew he was sick forgot that he was sick.
Years later, people that never knew of my involvement in the matter would bring up his name, invariably recalling how active he was and how good he looked until, almost as a surprise, he died.
I saw a similar level of success with a prominent New York businessman, the owner of a chain of stores and afflicted with untreatable liver cancer. He began to do much, but by no means all, of the Gerson program, and was subsequently able to extensively travel the world with his family. He lived years longer than expected, with a high quality of life confirmed by all who saw him.
Looking only at these two patients, wanton critics of Gerson’s method might think that, without complete and unequivocal cure, there is little to crow about. Such a view is unproductive, for neither of these patients followed the Gerson program completely. It is a tough sell, even to a person with a terminal diagnosis.
Why is this?
Ignorance and arrogance make a bad combination, and “modern” medicine has been guilty of both for decades. Political physicians did not heed Dr. Gerson. In fact, they publicly condemned him. The news media, and some so-called “consumer” websites, have been their willing accomplices. The misinformation they spew to this day is fraught with fabricated frights of natural therapies, while in the same breath they spew forth the wonders of pharmaceutical drugs. When is the last time you saw a favorable mention of the Gerson program in the newspaper or on TV? Since pharmacological doctors have no sure-fire cure for cancer (an understatement if there ever was one), they might at least back a winning horse. According to peer-reviewed research, conventional chemotherapy contributes 2.3% to five year survival in Australia and a mere 2.1% in the US. (Morgan, Ward and Barton. Clinical Oncology, 2004. 16: 549-560) The Gerson approach has been shown, for over six decades, to significantly improve both quality of life and length of life in the sickest, the most hopeless, of cancer patients. Many people have been completely cured on the Gerson therapy. Not all, but many. Far, far more than with chemo.
Some years ago I watched a video tape of a Gerson patients’ “reunion.” On stage were people from all walks of life, and most were advanced in age. One after the other they spoke of the cancer they were diagnosed with three, ten, or twenty years ago. All were recovered. Dr. Gerson was the reason. You cannot watch such an event and fail to be moved.
Charlotte Gerson is 87 now (2009) and fit as a fiddle. I’ve met her many times. She glows with energy and vivaciousness and life. But what is much more important, so do the vast majority of Gerson patients. I urge you to watch this movie.
Common sense cure -how brilliant!
This documentary reveals a simple truth to healing ourselves. You are what you eat…eat to live…food is the best medicine…all of these well-known conepts, when put into practice, really work! I have a relative who was cured of cancer through the Gerson Therapy in Mexico. She is in her ninties now!
thanks Garrett!
WARNING this movie may cause EXTREME WELLNESS
Dr. Max Gerson saved my life. PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT could save the life of someone you know or may know in the future. The Gerson Therapy is saving people from having their testicles, eyes, prostates, removed and discarded. And after all that the patient still has a severe metabolic breakdown, and just maybe they’ll throw in a little chemical cocktail for an expensive, sickening finish. PLEASE BUY THIS MOVIE! For the sick and the suffering. This movie will change your life if you let it. TOO ALL THE DR. GERSON HATERS>>> TOO BAD COMMON SENSE ISN’t COMMON. I personally know many cases of true wellness caused by the content of this Movie. Thank you for reading.

Movie Title: The Proposition The Proposition is available for streaming or downloading. |
When I first saw John Hillcoat’s film The Proposition I was literally petrified and dumbstruck with what I had fair witnessed. As a long-time aficionado of the awe genre I could say that fragment of me has become desensitized to onscreen violence and nothing really shocks me. Even though I’ve seen films with more violence throughout its running time, The Proposition fair had a heavy sense of despair, accurate ambiguity, and a Miltonian feel throughout. The film felt like how it would be if one current an offer from one of the damned to stroll down to the Nine Circles of Hell. As noteworthy as I didn’t want to net that offer the curiosity of what I might discover won out. That’s how I was able to sit through the entirety of Hillcoat’s ultra-violent and nihilistic narrative of lawless and amoral individuals in the untamed wilderness of 1880′s Australian Outback.
Buy,Download, Or Stream The Proposition! Click Here
I must agree with film critic Roger Ebert when he said The Proposition seemed to mirror another dusky and violent narrative. Hillcoat’s film shares so remarkable the same themes and tone as Cormac McCarthy’s brutal recent, Blood Meridian, that one almost wondered if the film was adapted from McCarthy’s expansive unusual. But similarities aside, Hillcoat and Slit Cave’s (director and writer respectively) film can clearly stand on its possess two bloody legs.
The film begins with a bloody siege and shootout and we’re soon introduced to two of the three Burns’ brothers. We soon score out that both brothers, Charlie (played by Guy Pearce) and Mikey (played by Richard Wilson) are outlaws wanted for a multitude of defective crimes with a unique one the senseless rape and slay of the Hopkins family. One Capt. Stanley (Ray Winstone) who acts as law in this particular situation of the Outback. He’s gives older brother Charlie a proposition. He’ll spare the younger brother’s life from the hangman’s noose if Charlie finds their older brother Arthur (played with Kurtz-like menace by Danny Huston) and kills the outlaw leader. The quest is dwelling as Charlie accepts and sets out to net his brother. Whether Charlie will go through with killing his older brother Arthur is one thing the audience won’t bag out until the final minutes of the film. Even though there’s no love-lost between Charlie and Arthur, there’s composed the dilapidated bond of family that makes Charlie’s quest a complex one.

We realize early on that Charlie is very protective of his simpler, younger brother Mikey and would do anything to do his life. Guy Pearce does a huge performance as the conflicted and brooding Charlie Burns. There’s a collected intensity in Pearce’s performance. He’s ravishing unruffled through most of the film, but one could feel the palpable rage unprejudiced roiling beneath his brooding countenance. Pearce’s Charlie is one who is only a trigger away from exploding into outright violence. Charlie is definitely a child and creation of the lawless Outback the film is location in.
Arthur Burns on the other hand is introduced as an almost warrior-poet who would discover the sun station and spout poetry as easily as gun down an innocent or nick a man’s throat without missing a beat. Danny Huston does a bravura performance as the charismatic and wholly amoral Arthur. His performance easily matches that of Pearce’s scene for scene. Another performance that I must point out as being very strong in the film is Ray Winstone as Capt. Stanley, the Ahab of the memoir with his obsession to bring civilization to the lawless Outback and to bring Arthur Burns to ultimate justice even if it means dealing with the lesser wrong that is Charlie Burns.
The Proposition will be talked about alot for its unflinching view at violence onscreen. Though there’s been films that have more violence per hour than Hillcoat’s film, but the grievous brutality of the killings, maimings and rape in The Proposition has such an air of realism to it that one cringes at every gunshot distress and knife slashing. Like Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream, The Proposition’s scenes of depravity makes one want to run into the shower and cleanse off the dirt, grime and stink of the film. It’s in this unflinching and realistic portrayal of death and violence that the film shares alot with McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. The images are difficult to leer, but our curiosity makes us gawk through squinted eyes to peep the fat breadth of the violence. In time, unprejudiced through the audiences acceptance of the oncreen violence do we soon become complicit in whats going on the shroud.
It is a shame that The Proposition had such a diminutive release in the US. I assume this film would’ve done as well as Eastwood’s Unforgiven in giving the audience a different, darker side of the Conventional West mythology (though its really the Australian Conventional West) . John Hillcoat has crafted himself a brutal and nihilistic film that’s very hard to observe but also difficult to ignore. The Proposition is a film I highly recommened people search for in the theaters before it disappears, but failing that they should search out for the dvd once its released in that medium. This film is that proper.
This film has often been compared to Eastwood’s spare and dismal UNFORGIVEN. There are certainly many similarities in tone. But if anything, there is even less redemption available at the ruin of this Australian western than at the ruin of that Oscar winner.
Simply establish, Ray Winstone plays the equivalent of the “recent sheriff” in a very minute, dull dusty “western” town in Australia. The worst bandits in his, the Burns brothers, are his notable goal, and when he corners and captures the two youngest brothers, Mickey and Charley (Guy Pearce), he offers Charley a proposition. He and his simple younger brother will be released if Charley goes out and kills his psychopathic older brother Arthur. If not, Mickey will be hung on Christmas Day, a few days away.
The fallout from this simple proposition is bleak, bleak, bleak. The film is monotonous titillating and takes time to effect tone and to let us devour the wonderful Australian scenery. As John Injure (as a bounty hunter) says, it’s the most horrific area he’s ever been. The scenery is graceful (sunsets, knowing rocks) and brutal…long expanses of sand and scruff. But the expressionless paddle is punctuated with moments of extremely graphic violence. Each bullet hole or knife damage (or spear pain) is painful to perceive. I’m not determined when I last saw a movie that made violence appear so terrible, so painful and so repulsive.
Everyone in the film is vast. Guy Pearce…exceedingly grubby…is torn between deciding how to deal with one of his brothers inevitably dieing. Ray Winstone gives a rich performance…honest when we mediate we’ve got this guy figured out, he shows another layer. And then another. He wins our sympathy finally. Emily Watson is his wife, and her performance is a litle colorless…it’s the biggest weakness in the characterizations. Not her fault…she’s honest too passive to be entirely believed.
The best performance comes from Danny Huston (John’s son, Anjelica’s brother) as Arthur, the psycho. His character appreciates nature and poetry, but also raping and stupid, painful murders. He’s a conundrum that’s never fully explained…but Huston is riveting. His oily, sweaty, dirty face is etched with emptiness…I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but trust me.
Other nice touches include an entertaining soundtrack (co-written by Chop Cave, who wrote the script) and lots of stuff focusing on the uneasy melding of the “white” man and aboriginies. This adds an extra layer of sadness, and of pains, to all the proceedings.
I would give the movie 4.5 stars, if I could. It doesn’t quite near 5 (the hump is unbiased occasionally over-indulgent…a couple of semi-important characters unprejudiced plunge from the legend), but it’s very compelling, very brutal filmmaking. NOT FOR KIDS!!!

Extraordinary panoramic vistas, taken from a 2-engine plane with a camera attached to its nose, wonderful geological facts, and reliable animals, most of them unusual to Australia, are what we acquire in this satisfactory documentary of what is both the world’s smallest continent, and its largest island. Once joined to Antarctica many millions of years ago, with high mountains and lush forests, time transformed Australia into 3 million square miles of mostly arid flat land, and its creatures adapted to the different weather conditions. Unbelievable and often laughable footage of kangaroos and koalas (both allotment the same ancestral marsupial possum), as well as desert creatures from ants to the giant and fearsome parenti lizard, and the “living contradiction,” the platypus, are among the many delights shown in this film.

An event that only occurs approximately twice every century, torrential rains filling the Outback’s Lake Eyre, bringing long dormant animals to life, as well as flocks of pelicans, is caught on film, and is a spectacular gawk. This is a pleasing but harsh land, with a odd beauty that fills the soul. Australia is described as being more like another planet than another country, and this documentary has many images rarely seen.
Directed by David Flatman, written by Flatman, Meg Morrison, and poet Les Murray, it is narrated by Alex Scott, and has a elegant catch by David Bridie. Made for IMAX in 2002, every aspect of “Australia, Land Beyond Time” is top-notch, is a must for anyone involved in this huge country, and those of us who like to recognize foreign lands without leaving home.

I am so impressed with this movie. The production is truly astonishing. I feel like I traveled to Australia for 1 1/2 hrs and flew over that substantial land of natural wonders. I loved the Kangoroo and Koala scenes as well as the underwater scenes. The film succeeds in almost every aspect, including its sound effects and truly delicious music gain. As opposed to other IMAX films that consume cheap background music or music by classic rock bands, here we rep a one-of-a kind music win performed by an orchestra that blends with the images really well. The fable script provides a lot of information while keeping the viewer entertained (like the Kangoroo kickboxing scene) Also, the narrate quality was incredible! At times I wondered if I was watching a unimaginative DVD or some sort of high definition video!!

The final movie speed, in which Will Parker on the US Geronimo, beats out the Australian Platypus, mirrors the 1987 retake of America’s Cup.

For sheer racing beauty and competition, this movie is unbeatable. I’ve watched the sailing parts over and over, and I can’t encourage being amazed that a movie can bring relieve the same feelings that sailing does.
I hasten on Lake Michigan for our local Wednesday night races. For anyone who loves sailing, you will appreciate this movie. Also, as the only woman crew member on our sailing team, I particularly identified with Kate Bass, the only woman teammate on the all-male crew — another bit of Hollywood fiction, but an inviting legend line all the same.
I also enjoyed some of the trivia at the very beginning, in which Will Parker is talking to the boat’s owner as they stare at model boats and discuss the boats made by Extinct Captain Nat himself. In reality, Captain Nat Hereshoff designed 5 winners of the America’s Cup, and they are all mentioned in this movie. Defender(1895), Columbia (won twice- 1899, 1901), Reliance(1903), Resolute(1920), Rainbow(1934) . I appreciated the bit of history of the America’s Cup, worked into the screenplay.
To originate out with, like other reviewers have stated, it is terrific to examine this movie out on DVD after so long. I realized, when I watched this movie for the first time, you don’t have to be a fan of boat racing to worship this movie.

The cinematography honest can’t be beat with absolutely incredible shots putting you unimaginative center in the action. It’s a tall experience in how the filmmakers shoot you attend and forth onto the boats and then perform sweeping panoramic views of strategic boat maneuvers. Top notch sailboat racing, bar none.
The DVD is remastered in high definition and is crystal definite with honorable detail and color. As for sound, Dolby 5.1 or DTS would have been the icing on the cake but I won’t sell this DVD short. The Dolby Surround it does have composed gets the job done unprejudiced attractive and sounds gracious.
You can’t go contemptible with Wind and I recommend this movie to anyone who likes tremendous racing and sporting competition.

Gerson Therapy, or Chemotherapy: Guess which one has less than 3% success?
It has been said that more people live off cancer than die from it. The Beautiful Truth is a movie that can put a stop to this travesty. Here is a very practical guide to the intensive nutritional treatment of cancer and other life-threatening diseases that many would consider to have been impossible to obtain. But thanks to the work of Max Gerson, M.D., and his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, this knowledge is readily available.
Max Gerson cured cancer. He did so with a strict fat-free, salt-free, low-protein, essentially vegetarian dietary regimen, based on great quantities of fresh vegetable juice, supplements, and systemic detoxification. Ms. Gerson explains:
“Dr. Gerson found that the underlying problems of all cancer patients are toxicity and deficiency. He had to overcome both these difficulties. He found that one of the important features of his therapy had to be the hourly administration of fresh vegetable juices. These supply ample nutrients, as well as fluids to help flush out the kidneys. When the high levels of nutrients re-enter tissues, toxins accumulated over many years are forced into the blood stream. The toxins are then filtered out by the liver. The liver is easily overburdened by the continuous release of toxins and is unable to release the load. Dr. Gerson found that he could provide help to the liver by the caffeine in coffee, absorbed from the colon via the hemorrhoidal vein, which carries the caffeine to the portal system and then to the liver. The caffeine stimulates the liver/bile ducts to open, releasing the poisons into the intestinal tract for excretion.”
Some of the blunt, uncompromising statements this movie makes are certain to get up the medical profession’s collective nose. Too bad for them, for Dr. Gerson was right. And as for Charlotte, his daughter, her entire life has been immersed in healing people, first learning while assisting her father, and later teaching his method to the world.
I personally have seen what the Gerson program can do for a terminally ill cancer patient. I have been called upon to help in a couple of high-profile but last minute cases. One patient was a well-known sports figure. He was given some months to live and was not happy about it, as he was still in his 50s. He asked what his best shot would be for inoperable, untreatable metastasized cancer. I told him: the Gerson therapy. He did it, not in its entirety, but with enthusiasm. And, he lived considerably longer that he was expected to. But what really impressed me was the dramatic improvement in his energy level. From fatigue and weakness, he went instantly to a vibrant life, commencing from the very week he started the program. He maintained a more-than-full schedule for so long that even people who knew he was sick forgot that he was sick.
Years later, people that never knew of my involvement in the matter would bring up his name, invariably recalling how active he was and how good he looked until, almost as a surprise, he died.
I saw a similar level of success with a prominent New York businessman, the owner of a chain of stores and afflicted with untreatable liver cancer. He began to do much, but by no means all, of the Gerson program, and was subsequently able to extensively travel the world with his family. He lived years longer than expected, with a high quality of life confirmed by all who saw him.
Looking only at these two patients, wanton critics of Gerson’s method might think that, without complete and unequivocal cure, there is little to crow about. Such a view is unproductive, for neither of these patients followed the Gerson program completely. It is a tough sell, even to a person with a terminal diagnosis.
Why is this?
Ignorance and arrogance make a bad combination, and “modern” medicine has been guilty of both for decades. Political physicians did not heed Dr. Gerson. In fact, they publicly condemned him. The news media, and some so-called “consumer” websites, have been their willing accomplices. The misinformation they spew to this day is fraught with fabricated frights of natural therapies, while in the same breath they spew forth the wonders of pharmaceutical drugs. When is the last time you saw a favorable mention of the Gerson program in the newspaper or on TV? Since pharmacological doctors have no sure-fire cure for cancer (an understatement if there ever was one), they might at least back a winning horse. According to peer-reviewed research, conventional chemotherapy contributes 2.3% to five year survival in Australia and a mere 2.1% in the US. (Morgan, Ward and Barton. Clinical Oncology, 2004. 16: 549-560) The Gerson approach has been shown, for over six decades, to significantly improve both quality of life and length of life in the sickest, the most hopeless, of cancer patients. Many people have been completely cured on the Gerson therapy. Not all, but many. Far, far more than with chemo.
Some years ago I watched a video tape of a Gerson patients’ “reunion.” On stage were people from all walks of life, and most were advanced in age. One after the other they spoke of the cancer they were diagnosed with three, ten, or twenty years ago. All were recovered. Dr. Gerson was the reason. You cannot watch such an event and fail to be moved.
Charlotte Gerson is 87 now (2009) and fit as a fiddle. I’ve met her many times. She glows with energy and vivaciousness and life. But what is much more important, so do the vast majority of Gerson patients. I urge you to watch this movie.
Common sense cure -how brilliant!
This documentary reveals a simple truth to healing ourselves. You are what you eat…eat to live…food is the best medicine…all of these well-known conepts, when put into practice, really work! I have a relative who was cured of cancer through the Gerson Therapy in Mexico. She is in her ninties now!
thanks Garrett!
WARNING this movie may cause EXTREME WELLNESS
Dr. Max Gerson saved my life. PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT could save the life of someone you know or may know in the future. The Gerson Therapy is saving people from having their testicles, eyes, prostates, removed and discarded. And after all that the patient still has a severe metabolic breakdown, and just maybe they’ll throw in a little chemical cocktail for an expensive, sickening finish. PLEASE BUY THIS MOVIE! For the sick and the suffering. This movie will change your life if you let it. TOO ALL THE DR. GERSON HATERS>>> TOO BAD COMMON SENSE ISN’t COMMON. I personally know many cases of true wellness caused by the content of this Movie. Thank you for reading.
