Dead Man's Burden

This looks interesting, I might have to check it out.

Have you seen The Proposition with Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone? Austrailian western, very good.

I have not. It looks awesome, though, and I will have to pick it up. (I love "westerns" that take place in alternate settings like this. I thouight that Kim Ji-Woon's The Good, the Bad, the Weird was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would love to track down a copy of the Soviet "eastern" White Sun of the Desert).

prfsnl_gmr, you might also be interested in the 2010 Australian film Red Hill, about a police officer's first day after reassignment to a small rural town, when a convicted murderer escapes prison and returns to town for revenge.

It's cliche and knows it, but it builds to a strong finale with a lot of great action. It's also beautifully shot.

I will have to check it out. I have been getting into Australian cinema ever since my experiences viewing Wake in Fright, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and The Last Wave. (Nicolas Roeg's Australian film Walkabout (1971) is high on my Hulu+ queue, and I suspect that I will get to it soon.) The outback is just such a great, underutilized setting.

Well if you're getting more into Aussie film, might I recommend Peter Weir's Gallipoli, since you've arleady seen his Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Last Wave? And there's always Dead End Drive-In and the Mad Max trilogy...

Perhaps I should have been more specific...I am getting into Australian art films set in or relating to the outback. I have seen - and enjoyed - the Mad Max trilogy, and Gallipoli, like Breaker Morant, is more of a war film. Dead End Drive-In looks intriguing, however...

I agree although I feel that the troll song gets better with repeated viewings. But Let It Go and Do You Wanna Build A Snowman (or whatever it's called) are of another caliber.

Oh, I agree. I think they hit it out of the ballpark with "Let It Go". That song, and the sequence that accompanies it, are damn near perfect. And "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman" surprised me by getting surprisingly touching towards the end. You wouldn't think it would with a title like that, but You Would Be Wrong.

All the songs can be found on Youtube and I realized that after a couple more listens....I still don't really like the troll song Though, I did find "In Summer" more enjoyable the second time around. It helps that Olaf didn't end up being nearly annoying as I though he would based on what I saw in the promos (Which just goes to show that Disney needs to work more on their marketing.)

Yeah, I liked In Summer from the get go, the one that bugs me or I feel I liked the least is Love Is An Open Door.

How this was initially a flop I'll never figure out. I would have loved to have seen this in theaters, and not just because I just watched it on my laptop. It's just one of those movies that Hollywood makes that actually should be watched in theaters. And notice I said "movie" and not "film", because it's technically a mainstream picture and thus is regarded as a "movie".

I saw this at the EPCOT Cast Center after returning "Nightmare Before Christmas" and mostly checked it out on a lark.

I'm gonna return it and the other movie I have (hint: it's a Miyazaki film) at the same time, hopefully at Hollywood Studio's Cast Center, where they have two movies I wanted to get but for some reason chose not to: Zokkomon (a Bollywood action superhero film from 2011) and Anaganaga O Dheerudu (aka "Once Upon a Warrior", it's a Teluga-language fantasy-adventure film, also from 2011). In case you're wondering, they were both made by Disney overseas.

I tried to watch Oblivion, I just couldn't get into it.. it was just lacking in keeping me interested. Not so fond of Tom Cruise as a person, but he is a great actor and his acting in this movie was good. As well as the always awesome Morgan Freeman.
