A Brief Movie Review for 'Flirting" (1991)

Movie = Flirting (1991)

Director = John Duigan

Rating = 4/5 Stars ****

This movie was better than I expected, with some early work for Australian stars Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts as well as British actors Thandie Newton and Noah Taylor. Is a story about some Australian schoolies who are trying to make it through late adolescence while under the strict supervision and atmosphere of their Australian prep/boarding-school. The characters are interesting and its not too much of a teen-movie like it sounds, and the trailer below makes it sound like a big teen-sex movie or something, which is a bit misleading. This movie is worth watching and I will probably watch it a second time some day in the future.

Brief Movie Review for "Bright Star" (2009)

4/5 Stars ****

Great movie, fictional story about one of the great Romantic Poets of history, John Keats, and his romance and early death at the age of 25 from tuberculosis. Well done, Australian made film, and interesting to see a little piece of his life.

Brief Movie Review for "The Black Balloon" (2008)

**** 4/5 Stars

A Good Aussie film and definitely not your run of the mill formula flick. It relates to the challenges of autism and its really about families and how they manage through situations that aren't always easy. I would recommend this movie, its one that might just make you think critically a little bit, and god-forbid that ever happen! However, I wouldn't watch it again, more of a serious film and not really one for just entertainment. I still don't know what the title is about, did I miss the black balloon part?
