We start off with the amazing "Bunyip song" from Dot and the Kangaroo
And for some adorable kids' jokes go here :-)
Next in line is the opening of DIRTY DEEDS - an Aussie gangster flick set against the booming casino underworld of late 1960s Sydney. Bryan Brown (COCKTAIL, THE THORN BIRDS) stars as Barry Ryan, an Australian mobster who controls the city's gambling scene and is making a killing from the casino slot machines. His profitable venture attracts the unwanted attention of the American Mafia, who attempt to secure a piece of the action by sending in two of their henchmen: the pensive, world-weary veteran Tony (John Goodman) and his violent, not-too-bright sidekick Sal (Felix Williamson). Ryan soon finds himself fending off the trigger-happy Yanks, Outback-style, while also contending with his feisty wife (Toni Collette), needy mistress (Kestie Morassi), and a crooked cop (Sam Neill). Utilising flashy camerawork, black comedy, and mobster protagonists, writer/director David Caesar tips his hat to the criminal capers of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, while lending the proceedings a distinctly Down Under flair.
One of the stars is Toni Collette. I'm sure you've seen her but just may not remember ther name. She was Muriel in Muriel's Wedding and the suicidal Fiona in About a Boy.

On Sunday Toni landed the Golden Globe Award for her role in TV series United States of Tara. Good on you Toni! :-)
Here is she being interviewed by Rove McManus.
What a funny, unpretentious actress, isn't she? :-)
Finally the trailer for Two Hands. I love this film, don't know what else I can say... You just need to see it and judge for yourself. It's definitely one of these love/hate flicks, either you get it or not.
