About:

Two cowboys discover their homosexuality whilst working together on Brokeback Mountain in the 1960’s and then live with the consequences during the ensuing decades.

For:

The film portrays effectively the difficulties faced by homosexuals during that era and in that tough rural environment. Set against stunning scenery on the one hand and hum drum lives on the other, the excellent acting and direction creates a memorable film.

Against:

Perhaps a bit slow at times, this is a very good film, but probably not of the calibre promised by its Oscar successes.

About:

Young tourists become the victims of a homicidal maniac in the Australian outback.

For:

Well directed, well acted, superb photography of the Australian outback. You identify with the characters and are horrified by their fate. Make’s you think twice about a road trip across Australia - I bet the Oz tourist board are not happy.

Against:

Realistic and horrifying violence too much to bear at times. Watch it once, but not again. Some plot weaknesses, only loosely based on true events.

About:

A teenage girl is possessed with evil spirits - or is she mentally ill? A court drama with a difference.

For:

Well acted court drama with harrowing exorcism scences keep you involved and tense throughout. Your opinions sway from the supernatural to mental illnesss and back again as the drama unfolds. One to remember and to see again.

Against:

Probably too intense and harrowing for a younger audience.

About:
A boxer returns to the ring to keep his family alive during the depression in the 1930’s

For:
Gritty boxing action, superb acting and direction keeps you involved from start to finish. You care, you want him and his family to come through unscathed. You’ll remember it. Brilliant.

Against:
Nothing
