The BBQ (2018)

Underdone

[4/10 · 16 September 2018]

This movie had promise but the comedy was forced. Julia Zemiro was wasted, Magda had a lovely accent but the backstory was sad. Manu was dreadful as the baddie. The Japanese wagyu breeder was offensive stereotyping.

This Could have been much better.

Brothers' Nest (2018)

No Kenny

[6/10 · 16 September 2018]

Nice change for the Jacobsen brothers but I wanted to like at least one of the characters but I just couldn't. Set over one night we did not see why they feel their actions are justified.

Innocent Killer (2017)

Unwatchable

[2/10 · 16 September 2018]

The opening theme was straight out of James Bond- obviously some effort there. Downhill from there. The script was clunky and stilted and made no sense whatsoever.

The Merger (2018)

Thoroughly enjoyed this film

[8/10 · 4 September 2018]

This film is much in the same vane as The Dish, Kenny and the Castle. It speaks of the country with warmth and a light white Australian tongue. It shows the changes in the old Anglo-Australian country life with the introduction of refugees from a diverse list of countries.

Essentially it is the standard sporting style of a ragtag bunch of no-hopers going on to form a great team. This is not a problem as it is a classic plotting structure. The quality it the warmth they give the characters. It is suitable to school age children though there is one scene with a old man's bare bum, for laughs and not titillation.

Many laughs to be enjoyed. Beautifully shot in Wagga Wagga.
