We saw two movies on video in the hostel in Adelaide. The first Lost in La Mancha, a documentary on the making of Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Rather, the un-making, since the film was never made due to various disasters. I think the documentary was by the same folks who made The Hampster Factor, the documentary on the making of Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. It was very interesting, though not worth a trip to the flicks, I'd say. At the end of the day the factor that really stopped the film was the illness of the leading man, so floods and other problems, whilst entertaining, were secondary. Still, a good "doco" (Aussie-ism) for anyone interested in film-making. Three and a half stars.
Bad Eggs is an Aussie comedy with much the same cast as Crackerjack (which we saw in Sydney). It was pretty funny in places, though a little ridiculous. Three stars.
At Port Campbell we watched Rules of Engagement on network TV. WIth the excessive ads it took nearly three hours, and wasn't very good. Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson were fairly entertaining, but the film just had too many annoyances. Two stars.
More photos!
Finally I've found somewhere that will let me upload photos. New photos in Big Adventure 3 & 4. Link to left.
