The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie (out 02 August 10, Cert. 12) Maggie Smith, Gordon Jackson, Robert Stephens, Celia Johnson, Pamela Franklin, directed by Ronald Neame, 1969, cert. 12 Monkey Score: TBC% Edinburgh, 1932. The world is on the cusp of change and at the forefront, leading the charge is the estimable Miss Brodie, teacher at the Marcia Blaine School for girls. As a new term begins for Miss Brodie, she is fully prepared. For whatever the subject, Miss Brodie is adept at bringing it around to the experiences girls should look forward to when they too are in their prime. Meanwhile Miss Brodie’s personal life is not so clear cut, torn as she is between the passionate advances of a young married artist, and the more conservative desires of a mature associate, she nevertheless manages to walk a strident path somewhere between the two.
Fatbelly - Chopper... Unchopped (out 02 August 10, Cert. 18)
Documentary featuring Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read, 2009, cert. 18
Monkey Score: 70% A portrait of Mark 'Chopper' Read's life in his own words, FATBELLY recounts the story of Australia''s most notorious gangster. From mental hospitals to the infamous Pentridge H Division, the story of the man that is 'Chopper' is a graphic and brutal tale of violence, blood, love and survival. This is no TV series or the Hollywood version of events, but Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read's own story. As in over 23 years in jail, 10 of which in H Division for the criminally insane, stabbed 13 times, bashed, shot, ran over, 60 helpings of shock therapy and certified thrice. To say that this is a harrowing story wouldn't do it justice. The man is psycho, and hearing his take in his own words is a sobering yet compulsive experience. Fascinating. |
