Interesting documentary about Australian exploitation cinema of the 70s and 80s. My only complaint is that some of the editing was so rapid-fire that it was hard to keep track of which movie was being talked about.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Excellent movie. All of the acting was great. I just wish the soundtrack was better, it was the same classical bit throughout the entire film.

Saw this a few days ago, what a trip. I really couldn't tell what the plot is at all, but this has some of the coolest looking imagery I've ever seen in movies. All I could tell was that most of it takes place in dreams and some guys trying to take over the world. I don't even care though, it was still fun as hell to watch. 9/10

I had the same problem when I watched this but there was a ton of movies I would love to see and a few that I have seen that I already like.

I haven't seen this film for nearly 20 years and it still is a fantastic curio.

Written and Directed by David Webb Peoples (12 Monkeys, The Unforgiven, Bladerunner- how's that for a trio of movies?) it is well worth seeking out if you like action movies with cerebral content.

Grrate movie.

One of the best examples of a great B/exploitation movie. Lot's of blood, guts, tits, awesomely cheesy dialogue and plenty of what the &*$% moment. 9/10

Also, if you have seen Hobo, you need to see Treevenge. It's a short film directed by the guy who directed Hobo about Christmas trees that take revenge against people. A great, over the top short film (16 minutes)

Or, you can watch the HD quality version on Vimeo. Treevenge

I just watched the Tourist, and I'm still wondering why I wasted my time. Disappointing from Johnny Depp, who usually picks very good movies IMO.
