I watched two movies on the weekend:
Green Street Hooligans - The movie is mainly set in London and is about the hooliganism that exists amongst 'firms' within soccer clubs. The movie is about a young American or 'yank' as he is referred to in the movie by some, going to London to see his sister after being wrongfully expelled at Harvard University for possessing cocaine. Matt, who is played by Elijah Wood, while in London, he meets his sister's brother in law who is the leader of the West Ham United hooligan group. As the movie progresses, he becomes more involved in the group and becomes a member. The 'firm' mainly arranges fights with opposition firms after matches. The film shows the notion of belonging being one of the main themes of the movie. I highly recommend the movie if you love English Football and are interested in supporter politics that can exist amongst sporting clubs of any kind.
Romper Stomper - This movie was the start of Russell Crowe being a famous actor. Crowe who plays the character Hando, is the leader of the Neo-Nazi skinhead group that is situated in Footscray and goes around targeting the Vitnamese community of Footscray. After his gang initially beat up 3 members of the Vitnamese community at Footscray train station, a war is waged between the two groups. I must admit that a lot of people may not find this movie to be there cup of tea, but personally I enjoyed it as it explored the notion of doubt and logic that can exist even amongst the most extreme groups. While Crowe's character remains unrepentant on his views throughout the movie, his right-hand man and the 2nd leader of the group, Davey, begins to doubt the cause to enforce nazi views on others. He demonstrates the biggest transformation from start to finish.

Green St Hooligans isn't bad, even if you hate soccer. Apparently my family (or at least my great great G father who got sent here) originated from that area. My son loves it.
I watched The Dark Knight Rises last night. Very not bad. Quite good actually.

Watched a '70s experimental porn film called Quiet Days in Clichy, an adaptation of a Henry Miller novel with a soundtrack by Country Joe McDonald. Lola and I both loved it and have watched it twice since yesterday morning!
Here's a clip of some of the great music from the film:

And here's a trailer (contains nudity, language that might offend anyone who hasn't read Lady Chatterley's Lover, etc.):

not technically a film but a play adaptation of a film ... warhorse. its season commences on nye at the state theatre. was fortunate enough to get a ticket to a dress rehearsal at the regent theatre. i have not seen the film but will do so now.
the play was very well done. a terrific mix of humans, puppets, pyrotechnics and audiovisual effects. was only familiar with one actor, nicholas bell.
