Broken Flowers. All in all good and really enjoyable flick, but for one thing: the ending. I got the feeling that the director (independent film maker Jim Jarmusch) really wanted to avoid the classic Hollywood ending, which of course is desirable in most cases. Problem is, I think he overdid it and left too many loose threads and too many questions unanswered. But I'd still recomend it though, Bill Murray is really good and the script feels well written, up until the ending that is

The events in Wolf Creek happened pretty close to where I used to live, and if memory serves, there was a pretty bloody comprehensive investigation, and Joanne Lees has a pretty good memory of what happened, aside from the hours tied up in the bush trying to escape.

Murdoch was sentenced for Falconio's murder last year anyway, so it's a closed case now.

ehh? according to the movie, the two girls died and the guy who was with them managed to escape. there were no other witnesses whatsoever. according to the movie anyway.
btw, that movie made me think of you. make of that what you will.

Two girls? I remember Murdoch was arrested for kidnapping and raping two tourists, mother and daughter, but I thought Wolf Creek was about the Falconio case? Have I got my hat on backwards again?

 

[dorian gray]

yeah, perhaps youre thinking of the *other* murder/kidnapping that you were involved in

 

[Nico]

Makes sense. Maybe I should see the film before I start blabbering about it.

Thumbsup for common sense.

well, from flashbacks in the movie we see other people he killed ...
it's possible the filmmakers just picked the "more exciting" victims to weave the story around

 

[dorian gray]

Makes sense Lurch. The information at the end of the movie, though, gave no indication as to exactly what evidence was located and even if the exact location was discovered. All it says is something to the effect of, "Early investigations were hampered by poor technique and confusion regarding the exact location of the site." Or something. The only real information they give is that the guy, Ben, was held for four months as the only witness/suspect and then released for lack of evidence. He still lives in "South Australia".

 

[dorian gray]

Oh yeah, the bodies were *never found*. That's why I think the producers took liberty with most of the movie. Ben never saw what happened to either girl (according to the movie, which I assume, was according to his testimony). The idea that they took such liberty and gave the girls such gruesome deaths really bothers me. I'm pretty much done with movies of this nature and even over-the-top fiction like "Devil's Rejects". There's just no point in watching that shit.

all of you sheeple line up and slurp down the jewish movie industry swill, LOLERCOASTER

Just watched "High Tension", a French film that is an absolute rip-off of Dean Koontz's book, "Intensity", even down to the title. The first 2/3 of the movie are strongly based on Koontz's book and then it just takes a wierd, silly twist.
It's as if they realized they couldn't match the book so they just came up some dumb ending and called it a day. The best part is that, nowhere on the DVD, can I find a credit to Koontz's book. Anyone who has read "Intensity" should rent this tripe to see what I'm talking about. It's almost humorous.

and there is this Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge plot hole in the movie that is like ... wha wha wha?
