Huh? by ccchhhrrriiisssm	May 11th, 2009 01:28:40 AM
Huh?
Uh where is the Narina 3 blurb?? by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 11th, 2009 01:58:03 AM
did a control F and still did not find it except in the title. WTF?
Narnia 3 blurb by Latauro	May 11th, 2009 02:01:03 AM
Maybe you can't find it because you called it "Narina". The column is pretty short. It would be quicker to skim read it than to write a post asking where it is. Nevertheless, allow me to spoon feed: the third paragraph of the news section. The word "Narnia" first appears eighteen words in, if you want to skip the start of the sentence.
DIE WALDEN MEDIA DIE!!! BWAAHAHAHA! by DOGSOUP	May 11th, 2009 02:02:39 AM
Just kidding. What's a Narnia?
Thanks Latauro. :) by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 11th, 2009 02:13:14 AM
Yeah it's late, and obviously mistyped.
Isn't Queensland in New Zealand...? by elijah17	May 11th, 2009 02:22:37 AM
And, as the other two Narnia films were shot in New Zealand, I'm inclined to say that Harry fucked that up. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time...
Welp.... by elijah17	May 11th, 2009 02:23:55 AM
Looks like I'm wrong. I really shouldn't be surprised...
Thanks for carrying the flag by Kobaal	May 11th, 2009 02:52:51 AM
I think we've all been embarrassed for quite a while at the state of the Australian film industry (barring a few gems). Good to see some good stuff coming out. The Horseman looks excellent! Also, thanks for the one paragraph reviews. Such a change to get all relevant information and a recommendation in less than 2,000 words. Waltzing w/ Bashir went straight to the top of the list.
What, no black box talkback for Latauro? by Kobaal	May 11th, 2009 02:55:00 AM
ripped off!
Latauro, Latauro, let down your hair. by thebearovingian	May 11th, 2009 03:02:23 AM
Yeah, Wolverine sucked.
Wolverine is worse than X3 by far by IndustryKiller!	May 11th, 2009 03:16:13 AM
The argument has been made over and over and over again. Name me one single improvement, from performances, to directing, to action, to writing on down how its somehow better than X3. It's impossible. At least X3, which is total garbage as well, has Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in part of the film.
Under no circumstances is Eternal Sunshine better than Malkovich by The Wrong Guy	May 11th, 2009 03:20:49 AM
But then...I've always hated Jim Carrey. Even though he's good in Truman Show and the like. Wasn't a fan of Synedoche... Not worthless, but not exactly engaging either. Which is not something you can level at the Gondry or Jonze efforts. Also...is there an Australian release date for In The Loop yet, a film based on one of the most hilarious sitcoms ever forged (The Thick of It)? Is there, I asks ye?
Seen Star Trek..Plan to see S+D / M+M asap.. by quantize	May 11th, 2009 03:22:08 AM
good to have some films worth caring about in this wasteland
Now I haven't seen Wolverine by Monkey Butler	May 11th, 2009 03:23:22 AM
and don't really intend to, but I'm kinda hard-pressed to imagine anything that could be worse than Sentinel head = car headlights Sentinel head falls Wolverine magically appears behind head. Dead set that was the worst thing I've ever seen, and if Wolverine has scenes more amateurish than that I really don't know what to think.
Wait till you see Wolverine chopping up a fire escape by IndustryKiller!	May 11th, 2009 04:15:24 AM
With the frame sped up comically like a fucking Chaplin film. Works for Chaplin, not so much for Wolverine. Also, three words, memory erasing bullets.
A lot of people...... by The Penultimate Gunslinger	May 11th, 2009 04:30:59 AM
... liked Wolverine. It's got pretty awful reviews, but all the normal people (ie: non nerds) I know who've seen it really enjoyed it. I think they just saw it as a dumb action film, and enjoyed it for that.
g'day by TheExterminator	May 11th, 2009 04:41:31 AM
cunt
queensland is in OZ by TheExterminator	May 11th, 2009 04:43:27 AM
you've mangled queenstown and auckland together
Penultimate, if by dumb action film you mean by IndustryKiller!	May 11th, 2009 05:18:17 AM
sci fi channel movie of the week dumb then yeah, its that. But as it stands Wolverine is more poorly constructed than any of Jason Stathams films. If they want dumb action see Crank 2, that will def be better directed and acted. I can't shut my brain off enough to literally ignore every single aspect of a film and why should I have to?
Chris Hemsworth is brilliant as George Kirk? by Uga	May 11th, 2009 06:43:44 AM
Seriously? That guy was easily the worst actor in the film.
narnia 3 is gonna film this summer? by Bouncy X	May 11th, 2009 06:53:28 AM
so they found someone else to release it? i thought they were still in between studios after disney dumped em.
Bouncy x, yes.... by Son of a Butch	May 11th, 2009 07:12:22 AM
Fox jumped on board a few months ago.
Mixing up New Zealand and Australia by Force Shaped	May 11th, 2009 10:11:34 AM
Since we're mixing the two, don't forget to recognize Karl Urban as McCoy... born in New Zealand (Wellington).
Dont' be afraid of the dark by JoeKeppel	May 11th, 2009 05:56:49 PM
is this a remake of the great "B" tv movie that starred Kim Darby and Jim Hutton?
Will Fox shift Narnia back to an Xmas release? by MCVamp	May 11th, 2009 06:36:31 PM
Disney fucking blew it on that one. Summer crushes movies like that. If CASPIAN had come out in winter it would have doubled its take just because it's the time of year to release a family blockbuster. Especially when, you know, fucking SANTA CLAUS shows up.
I almost feel obligated to see Samson & Deliah by OutlawsDelejos	May 11th, 2009 08:01:07 PM
It's the best reviewed film I've seen in ages, of course that doesn't necessary equate to a good film. For instance, I thought No Country was a wonderfully layered film and had brilliant moments. But in the end, I probably won't watch it again, not for a while anyway. Satisfaction is on par with the emotional experience for me these days. Thank 'Somersault' for that.
Oh yeah, I'll definately check out the Horseman. by OutlawsDelejos	May 11th, 2009 08:03:24 PM

Force Shaped by Latauro	May 11th, 2009 08:30:03 PM
You're absolutely right -- I should have mentioned Karl Urban. My bad. Especially given how great he was! Apologies to Kiwi readers.
