October 2010 - Think Past

I watched 12 Angry Men the other day for the first time. Even though it had its moments that were a little cheesy I think it was a fantastic film worthy of its acclaim. Watching it though, I kept thinking to myself who would play who if it were remade today. I thought I would share my thoughts here and see if anyone disagrees.
SPOILER ALERT: The order of these characters is in order of their changing their vote, so if you haven't seen the film, you have been warned.

How the Catholic Church got its good back

: A saint for the sinners

In case I haven't made it clear before, I don't believe in any kind of religion. I wasn't raised with it and over the years I have seen the destructive influences that dogmatic beliefs can have on people. I am writing about this because I am living in a town that has relatives of Australia's first saint who was cannonised yesterday.

I think the idea of a woman who died over a hundred years ago performing miracles is rediculous; the fact that it is not only accepted as true but reported as such by the media is beyond frightening. The story goes that a woman dying of leukaemia in 1961 prayed to Mary Mckillop for intercession and was then cured. Another woman had inoperable brain and lung cancer and too was cured

: Australian cinema at its best

When Australia wants to make a good film, they don't do it by halves. I can say that for a long time I didn't get excited about watching an Australian film because I'd seen my share of bad ones. I mean Bad Boy Bubby, Nick Giannopoulos in The Wog Boy bad. But there has also been a lot of really great films made in Australia, and the new film 'Animal Kingdom' is most certainly one of them.

I had heard a lot of positive things about this film, but luckily for me I wasn't aware of exactly what was going to happen. I'm not going to outline what happens in this film because I don't like to spoil it for other people, but it was inspired by a real crime that happened back in '88

: why is there not more written about this film??

I was searching for a really great horror movie, one that had the shocks but also the story line. I was reading through pages of reviews and lists of the best of something or other and stumbled upon a little piece about this film. It sounded slightly interesting so thought I would give it a try
