Film review: WISH YOU WERE HERE, from Built For Speed
Wish You Were Here is a new Australian mystery thriller that has nothing to do with the classic Pink Floyd album of the same name. Being a contemporary Australian film it of course stars Joel Edgerton as a stressed bogan family man and has a fragmented narrative structure. The film jumps back and forth through...
Film review: ACTS OF VALOUR, from Built For Speed
There have been plenty of films about US Special Forces battling terrorists and drug lords and most of these have involved outrageous, cartoonish propaganda, racially stereotyped bad guys, simplistic, biased notions of world conflict and Chuck Norris. Acts of Valour has all these things, minus the Chuck Norris. For many critics this film is an...

Film review: THE LADY from Built For Speed
The Lady is the non-descript title for the biopic of Burmese political leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Apart from a prologue set in 1962 when her Father, Burmese President Aung San, was killed in a military coup, the film focuses on the period from 1988-1999 during which she made the unusual transition from British housewife...
Film review: CAFE DE FLORE from Built for Speed
Those whose heads are still smarting from the brain twisting weirdness of Tree of Life better stock up on Panadol for new time-hopping French Canadian drama Café de Flore. What seems like a fairly straightforward tale of marriage breakdown between a successful DJ, Antoine (musician Kevin Parent) and wife Carole (Helene Florent) becomes increasingly strange...
