Dumb
Criminals
2015
Johnny's
comments:
Dumb Criminals in a
comedy movie where two
mates, Rabbit (Paul
Fenech) and Rongo
(Kevin Taumata) are in
prison with their
druggie mates Jimmie
the Junkie (Alex
Romano) and Pothead
(Benny Maclean). When
trying to avoid a
bikie named Tiny as
he's fucked Tiny's
girlfriend, sister,
cousin and mother,
Rabbit speaks with old
friend Biker Bob (Andy
McPhee), who dying and
want Rabbit and Rongo
to help get money to
his daughter Sharnelle
(Elle Dawe) who has a
daughter who is sick
and needs an expensive
operation. They decide
to uphold that pledge
when the four friends
get out of prison, but
the only way they know
to get money is
through crime and they
are not good at
getting away with it.
Biker Bob dies, but he
haunts Rabbit who goes
on an increasing
ramshackle crime spree
that only ends up
pissing off the biker
gang, The Hunters. The
head of the gang,
Angry (Angry Anderson)
gets them to go to Las
Vegas to kill the
accountant that stole
from them, but they
also still have to get
the money. Can they do
both and save
Sharnelle's daughter's
life?
Dumb Criminals, a
movie length version
of the web series,
which in turn is
exactly the same as
everything Paul Fenech
(Housos, Housos vs.
Authority, Fat Pizza
vs Housos) has ever
done, just with new
characters played by
the same people.
Nothing is ever going
to change in Fenech's
world as he plays to
his built-in audience
and as per usual, Dumb
Criminals is pretty
bad, but there's a few
laughs here and there
and about a million
misses. This is also
the laziest Fenech has
been in a while (and
that's saying
something), rehashing
a fair chunk of his
web series, but what
else should we expect
at this point.

There's
Something in the
Pilliga
2014
There's
Something In The
Pilliga is a found
footage horror movie
where Peter (or as he
wants to be called
Jay) (Brendan Byrne)
and his buddy Dylan go
looking for a good
time on New Years Eve.
At a pub, they meet
Liz (Leoni Leaver),
who looks very keen on
the boys and her
friend Tammy (Rebecca
Callander) who just
wants to get away from
a persistent pest.
They leave the bar to
go to out to their
friend Hermie's house
to have a bit more
fun, but find he isn't
home and has seemingly
disappeared with just
sketches and details
of a local monster,
the yowie, on his
wall. Jay and Dylan go
looking for him
leaving the girls in
the truck for 4 hours
before they decide to
head to the road to
hitch back to town,
but Jay and Dylan
catch up with them and
now their dog is also
missing. While looking
for the dog, Dylan
finds the dead body of
a woman they saw
earlier at the pool,
but instead of going
to the cops, Jay
harangues the group
into dumping the body
where the pigs will
finish her off. With
all disgusted with
Jay, they continue on
and after a brief
encounter with a cop,
Jay hears his dog
barking and goes to
get him and then night
comes ...
Not a lot happens in
this movie, very
little suspense and
then 20 minutes of
Blair Witch-style
running in the forest
with a camera style
action where we never
really see what's
going on. I'm not sure
whether this movie is
supposed to be scary
or not because if it
is supposed to be
scary, it does not
succeed. Plus that
final shot is
completely baffling, I
can't work out what's
happening, who's doing
what or even why it
happening or it's
significance to the
rest of the movie. I
just don't think this
movie works.
