Who killed Harry Lime?!?!

(putting "Shaun of the dead" on my Netflix list. Will report when I get around to it next week.)

I agree about those, huisache.

Movies from Australia: "Breaker Morant," "Strictly Ballroom," "Walkabout," "Rabbit-proof Fence," "Lantana;"

and New Zealand: "Whale Rider," "Vera Drake," "Heavenly Creatures," "Once Were Warriors"

all greatly benefit from sharing a common language with American viewers.

Subtitles certainly aren't a deal-breaker for me, but I do find them a neccessary nuisance to make a French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish or German, etc. movie accessible.



Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.

Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.

Thought it was OK.

Also good from Australia:

The Castle (including an early performance by Eric Bana as a kickboxing newlywed)

Danny Deckchair

I suspect some of the humor might be above you.

I rented Shaun of the Dead on a whim and ended up laughing my arse off. The humor is kind of simple, but it is better and funnier than I would have expected.

Also The Castle from Australia is pretty good too.

The humor of "Shaun of the Dean" may seem simple, but there was a great deal of thought put into it and a lot of homage paid to the classic genre movies - if you have the DVD be sure to check out the special features to see all of the references and blatant "wink-wink"s that are in there! Brilliant! :-)

And I love the chemistry between the characters - particularly Shaun and Ed! And the over-dramatized transition scenes! Loved it! (I also LOVE Queen so the whole "Don't Stop Me Now" jukebox scene killed me!)

Ok, I'll stop now...
