Walkabout 9/10
A teenage girl and her young brother are driven far into the Australian outback by their father for a picnic. For the picnic, the mother has stayed at home. He stops and the daughter lays out the food while her brother runs about among rocks. A shot rings out and the bullet hits the rocks by the boy. The father is firing. The daughter runs to her brother and scoops him up to hide. He shoots at them several more times, then demands that they come back so that they can return home. After a pause the father pours gasoline on the car, ignites it and shoots himself. The children are stranded in the middle of scrub desert with only what little food they can carry. They start walking. They eventually find some muddy water and fruit, but in the morning the water has disappeared and the fruit has all been eaten by birds. And they meet a 16-year-old Aboriginal boy who is doing walkabout, the months' long initiation to manhood where he must survive, or not survive, by himself.
The heart of the story is how he helps them survive, how he looks after them, how sexual feelings arise, how the girl is shaped by her conventional attitudes and is unaware of the boy except as someone who will take them back to civilization, how the boy is shaped by his tribal rituals and has no other way to express himself. The climax of the boy's feelings and his attempt to express them is poignant and sad................ This was an excellent and Visually stunning film with a very good performance from Jenny Agutter, Highly recommended

Jack recruits Eddie to be his newest star and Eddie, hungry for fame, quickly agrees, changing his name to Dirk Diggler. Soon Dirk is the hottest star in the porn industry, alongside Rollergirl (Heather Graham), a high school dropout who never removes her roller skates, and Amber Waves (Julianne Moore), the veteran star who pines for the son she's not allowed to visit. On the fringes, Little Bill (William H. Macy) fumes while his wife cheats on him in public, and Buck Swope (Don Cheadle) tries to escape the stigma of being a porn actor. The good times roll, but before long Dirk falls victim to the pressures of stardom and a drug habit that ruins his career while Jack struggles with porn’s conversion from film to cheaper videotapes. Director Paul Thomas Anderson’s breakthrough film is an exhilarating ride along the underbelly of the 1970s inspired by the films of Altman and Scorsese, featuring colorful camera work, a dynamic soundtrack, and excellent performances from the entire cast, most notably Reynolds in an Oscar-nominated comeback role...............

Star Wars Episode 1
Star Wars Episode 2

Bale Adrenaline boosters today:

Equilibrium - Enjoyed it, interesting story that at least makes you think a little. If you ignore some of the inconsistencies, its a good film. Great cast. Loving the crazy gun-kata!

Batman Begins - Better than I had anticipated. Almost makes me wish I was a fan boy! He makes a good Batman, not as good as Keaton IMO, but Keaton wasn't as good as a billionnaire playboy. What am I talking about? Not important.

Hellraiser - Hellworld

But nothing proves effective enough to lure their friend out of lifelong chastity until he meets Trish, a 40-year-old mother of three.

Other than that its a below average film. Does have some entertainment value tho, but just a little.

The Last Boy Scout 7/10

Not epic, but still a great action movie. Bruce Willis was at his usual sarcastic and profane best.

Very funny in parts and while not the greatest plot, I enjoyed it.
