Movies today pt1

I'm spending the day catching up on stuff and doing very little. The stuff is movies and newspapers, which really do account for very little.

Watch the mighty blackness triumph over the safa's, while listening to the sweet sounds of the alternative rugby commentary. Picked up the paper, in between thunderstorms, then watched Not Quite Hollywood. A fascinating throughly enjoyable romp through the ozploitation cinema of the 70s and 80s. Using an interview with Tarentino as the backbone, the doco explored the byways, backcountry lanes, deserts and perversion of the aussie bgrade movie scene. Using the ozploitation movies as an example of the creativity and development of the film industry. Yes I'd seen a number of them, but what a great doco, it rocked along and it really was eyes on the movie the whole time. Awesome stuff. Aside from the usual big-un (mad max), four that I have definitely seen were Howling III:The MarsuipalsBMX bandits; Fair Game and Turkey Shoot.
Definitely a 5/5 movie. Suspect you'll enjoy it even if you don't like Bgrades. Maybe.
