I got up unusually early this morning and this was left in the DVD player in the lounge, so I indulged. I didn't think it was that bad really. There were some pretty funny bits here and there, and Ricky Gervais turned in a good performance. It was kind of undone by all the conventions of the rom-com genre in the end though - got a bit predictable and a little too sugary towards the end then.

It was surprisingly good. Baz Luhrmann is a really good director and the cinematography was pretty awesome. But I think only Australians appreciate it. A lot of people from other places in the world don't really know much of the history and the relevance of it to today (and when the PM said sorry to the aboriginal people) so yeah.

I was glad it didn't end I like I thought it would, the reporter and young firefighter living happily ever after?

I always expect movies to have a stupid ending like that, nowadays.

I thought this was going to be like a romantic comedy or something but everyone told me it was a really sad film. They totally didn't promote it as such.

Vernon, Florida
Ever been on a train or in a bar or at a party where some socially retarded person corners you into listening to some pointless, rambling monologue about their job, their hobby or their relationship with their parents? That's exactly what this movie feels like. Back in the early 80s Errol Morris, the guy who made The Thin Blue Line, went to the little podunk town of Vernon, Florida and filmed various residents flapping their gums about whatever they felt like talking about. Not surprisingly the movie is an excruciatingly boring viewing experience. It's only 55 minutes long but it feels like about five hours. It's also considered kind of a cult classic but damned if I know why. This is seriously one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen.

Boring and stupid at times, but had its fair share of funny bits. Plus Michael Cera is tre cute; I have a thing for awkward dorky guys.

No Such Thing by Hal Hartley, it was an entertaining enough dark comedy.
