Came out here last summer - haven't seen it since, but it definitely grows on you with time.<BR/><BR/>Pirates 3 - very well shot and I did like the verging-on-arthouse, meta bits - but oh my god - it suffered from LOTR polyendings syndrome and just had too much going on. And yet no plot.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see Jindabyne - released here with weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-22999319868298599432007-05-27T00:07:00.000-04:002007-05-27T00:07:00.000-04:00I feel like I should support the Australian film i...I feel like I should support the Australian film industry far more than I can honestly manage so I won't tell you what I honestly thought about Ten Canoes (though, along with Mike D'Angelo, I seem to be in the minority anyway). But I will say that if you're only gonna see one Australian film from 2006, make it Jindabyne, rather than Ten Canoes. It is flawed and ends in a hurry in a way that pretty much contradicts everything that's gone on before (as opposed to Ten Canoes, which just doesn't end soon enough - sorry, I had to). But Laura Linney is as sensational as you'd expect in the lead role, and most of the film tends to veer between suspenseful and thought-provoking, both of which are good things.Y Kant Goran Ritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-25406237953513358532007-05-26T01:26:00.000-04:002007-05-26T01:26:00.000-04:00I sent Nick an email the other day asking if he ca...I sent Nick an email the other day asking if he cared to elaborate with me why he liked it so much (he gave it an A-) but he has to respond.

Though it definitely seems like one of those films that could be a masterpiece despite barely managing "fresh" on RT. <BR/><BR/>In any case, opinion is certainly divisive, so I beg to differ with your assessment. It may be indeed great, but critics certainly don't "agree" on that.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-85614580224122482672007-05-25T15:59:00.000-04:002007-05-25T15:59:00.000-04:00Yeah Pirates 3 is total crap.
