THURSDAY FILM CLUB ONLINE (update)

As promised I'm uploading two new films.

Let's quote one of imdb.com users:

"Eric Bana has constructed an entertaining and enjoyable look at his personal love affair with his first car (a 1974 Ford GT Falcon Coupe), the first car he ever bought as a teenager. The documentary extends beyond just any old "Car Flick", to focus on why we all have our obsessions and hobbies and the roles they play in our lives. You don't have to be a rev head to enjoy this and thats the point, as an interesting study of obsession and an insight to the private life of one of Australias best loved actors, this is definitely worth a look."

My opinion? It is an absolutely endearing little film well worth your time! And after watching it I really want that car! ;-)

==============================

The second film today is a true classic!

If you have never seen it you're really missing much. I was genuinely surprised though that it is not available in DVD/video rental shops in our town... I guess we have to wait for its Blu-ray edition.

But in the meantime you can watch it in lower quality here.



















And again let's hear from one of the fans:

"Mad Mad 2 (The Road Warrior) never fails to impress. A low budget masterpiece of film-making. The films gritty kinetic energy is done out on an open highway in an Australian Desert. A Future of no law...of no order...of pure survival amongst those who wish to keep humanity alive. The film is more advanced than it's predecessor, toning down on the words and focusing on the action. It also utilizes Mel Gibson's youthful heroic image without cliché. He is a wonderful hero and creation.

The film is a marvel to look upon at times with it's rapid cuts and car stunts. The actors all fit well into this world of chaos especially the little Feral boy and his boomerang. Sexual images emerge throughout and the homo erotic undertones lie very close to the subconscious.

The Antagonists and Protagonists play well off each other. Evil vs Good. The evil in this film is scary!!! A future after a Mass Destruction where Gasoline is Gold and Humanity is an endangered species.

One of my favorite films."

Mine too, can't remember how many times I've seen it. Most heartily recommended!
