Think Past - October 2010

12 angry men

: My Remake
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.

: 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

Animal Kingdom

: 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
