In the News
The major story
going around the web is
that Tigerlily allowed a
friend to post a censored
nude video on Snapchat.
Ooh - bad idea. Somebody
figured out how to get or
create an uncensored
version, and the rest is
internet history. I
covered the details on
Other Crap.
This
is the uncensored
version of the
Snapchat video, and below
is a still image which has
been making the rounds.
Ku'damm
56 is a
three-part mini-series
which takes place during
Germany's struggle to
recover after WW2. The
German TV film is about
the struggle to rediscover
national identity, the
awakening of youth, the
economic hardship, and
other all-but-forgotten
aspects of the period
between the devastating
war and "the economic
miracle."

Point
of No Return
(1994)
Another
Australian Classics
update today featuring a
couple of obscure 90s
genre movies.
Point
Of No Return is a 1994
thriller where former
military man Grady (Marcus
Graham), now in jail,
attends the funeral of his
brother and on the way
back home, escapes custody
and attempts to make sense
of his brother's murder.
His first stop is his old
flame Kate (Nikki
Coghill), who had moved
onto his brother after
Grady was jailed and gets
her to reluctantly tag
along as he heads to his
brother's house. At the
house, he finds Frank
(John Arnold), who is
ransacking the house
looking for something. It
turns out that Frank is
looking for triggers for
nuclear weapons that
Grady's brother was
flogging off to the
Russian mafia. While
searching the house, Grady
finds a zone activated
hidden camera which
captures of all things,
Grady's brother's death at
the hands of North Korean
'businessmen' who also
seem to be after the
triggers. While trying to
figure out what to do
next, a delivery man
arrives with a box with
the triggers. Frank also
arrives back at the house
with the North Koreans and
they want those triggers
real bad. With the cops
closing in on Grady, he
might just get out of this
mess alive. Efficient
thriller, that about the
best thing I can say about
the movie because the plot
is totally ludicrous.
Spends the second and
third act at Grady's
brother's house which
really shows how low
budget it is although
Marcus Graham playing his
non-twin brother with a
dodgy wig and moustache
does it better. It's not a
bad movie, just one that
wallows with very low
intentions. Love that I
found this DVD, which is
OK quality for a barely
seen movie (and one not
available on DVD in
Australia) and it ends
with a menu that straight
from a DVD recorder as if
it was recorded off of
that. From an actual
distributor, this is
pretty low rent... Better
than not being available
anywhere I s'pose.

Tunnel
Vision
(1994)
Tunnel
Vision is a 1994
serial killer thriller
where maverick cop
Frank (Robert
Reynolds) and his
loyal partner Kelly
(Patsy Kensit,
interesting get for an
Australian movie) are
looking into a killer
who is painting his
victims on canvas
before murdering them.
Meanwhile, Frank is
having issues with his
advertising project
manager wife Helena
(Rebecca Rigg), who he
is convinced is having
an affair with her
co-worker David (David
Woodley). After
busting up a robbery
where he shoots the
robber, Frank is on
his last chance. As
the bodies pile up, an
art dealer named
Breslin (Justin Monjo)
becomes a prime
suspect. Frank is then
replaced on the case
by Steve (Gary Day),
which sets something
off in Frank, oh an
finding Helena having
dinner with David.
Frank completely loses
it but he still wants
Helena, who actually
isn't having an
affair, it's just
Frank jumping to
conclusions.
Meanwhile, there's a
killer to catch and
Kelly thinks she has
solved it, but there's
one last twist that
will make finding a
serial killer
irrelevant. Baffling
movie where the main
serial killer plot is
a total red herring to
the real plot of who
really wants to fuck
Helena, which turns
out to be pretty much
anyone and who
wouldn't when it's the
gorgeous Rebecca Rigg
we are talking about.
The movie practically
abandons the serial
killer plot as Frank
loses his shit over
the smallest things
without doing the
slightest
investigating. No
wonder he's a maverick
cop who doesn't play
by the rules because
if it did, he'd
probably find out who
the killer is instead
of who wants his wife.
While there's a neat
twist at the end
involving who that is,
it actually co-opts
the serial killer
who's lying in wait.
I've never seen
anything like it, it's
so bizarre. And the
DVD for this movie was
on the only
double-sided DVD I've
ever seen that I found
in the bargain bin at
JB Hi-Fi about 12 or
so years ago. There
some British movie
I've never watched on
the other side (I
should look, it might
have something good in
it...). Plus the sound
mix of this movie is
terrible, with so much
fiddling around just
to hear the actors
speak. Every other
sound was fine. It
seems to be fine on
the videos too, but it
took a bit of mucking
about to get that
right.)
