Bad Eggs

[Jars458]

Went to the Adelaide Premiere of Tony Martin's new movie BAd Eggs starring Mick Molloy Judith Lucy nd Bill Hutner amongst others.

Tony came along and did a five minute stand up routine before the film which was really good. He is a funny man

The moview was your typical wacky Aussie comed and very entertaining.

They sacrifice the acting quality for the comedic timing of the main characters. Some very funny moments. The opening sequence is very clever.

I thought Mick Molloys partner was really good, and that Micallef cast as the Victorian Premier from the Family First party was great casting.

Very enjoyable if you like the genre.

The main character's name is Ben Kinnear. That's nearly enough to make me go see it.

 

[you_idiot]

Can't wait to see this movie-- Jen and I will go see it as soon as possible when it opens.

We thought that the trailers for the movie were laugh-out-loud funny, and from Jars' descriptions, sounds like the movie lives up to the promotions.

Thanks for the wonderful review, Jars.

It's probably just me, but I thought the trailer for the movie made it look like utter crap, having said that, I can't stand most aussie films, the exceptions being Amy, The Tracker and Rabbit Proof Fence.

I love Aussie movies - Shine, Bad Boy Bubby, Moulin Rogue and The Man from Snowy River are among my favourite movies of all time.

So, has anyone got some Australian movies?

































Your ill Mobs.

 

[mouldy_bread]

You must have a lot of storage space Mobbenfuhrer!

If ever you wanna sell your copy of Amy, just let me know
I had a copy on order at HMV for yonks, they rung about six months after I actually put the order in and said it had been delayed, then they never rung me again.

You would think that with the film actually being made in Australia and it wouldnt be so hard to get a copy.


Does anyone know if they are making Jake's Long Shadow into a movie to finish off the series?

Not that I've actully read the book yet, but I saw it in a shop a while ago.

I knew it was too good to be true!

Earthling, The 1980

Hard to believe this was billed as a family film considering the horiffic scene early in the film where Ricky Schroder's parents are killed - gave me more nightmares as a kid then any horror film would've.

It's VERY realistic, and the scenes afterwards of the kid sitting around are just as disconcerting.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Anyone got a list of the films Mobbenfuhrer's got? I cant seem to find it yet ive looked everywhere.

Ok umm... the movie. Yeah looks good. Especially hugging the curb . I cant wait to see it. Hopefully next weekend I can go. Good old Aussie movies are so damn cheap!

 

[you_idiot]

Just got back from seeing it this afternoon, and it was a delight.

Not a bad comedic farce, kind of untidy in bits through the middle, but everything comes together quite nicely at the end.

Mick Molloy and Judith Lucy were wonderful, and not a bad ensemble cast in support as well.

Quite comparable to the last Molloy vehicle we saw, "Crackerjack"...

 

[CarterS]

Was listening to Molloy on the radio today and he said he based his character on Bargearse and the cop from the village people. How can it be bad?

 

[Portia]

The funniest thing I saw was the `Pie For Life' headline on the back of the paper with a big picture of Nick Davis on it.

Not a bad cop film, but I don't reckon it qualifies as comedy for the most part.

 

[Portmanteau]

Pretty sure that was Josh Fraser...

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Went and saw it last night - some very good lines, but could have been edited a bit tighter, not a full blown comedy in the Late Show mould.

Some of the newspaper headlines are pretty funny, some ripping lines.

But did anyone else notice the sound boom appears in shot not once but twice in the first 20 minutes? Pretty shabby.

Not only that, but about the newspaper itself... Did anyone notice that the "Melbourne Tribune" has its own distinct look, but the back page of that publication looks eerily like that of the Herald-Sun?

I know imitation can be the sincerest form of flattery (debatable with the Herald-Sun, I know), but when you're in the newspaper business, you tend to notice these things.

Actually Goalden, most movie prints have mikes visible but the projectionist is supposed to position the film so that they aren't shown. Could be a case of slack work by the projectionist rather than shabby cinematography.

Very little comedy can stand up to the genius of the Late Show

Given the histroy of the late show style comedy perhaps the boom mikes were deliberatley left in the shot.
