Midweek Mention... Once Were Warriors

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/08/23

ONCE WERE WARRIORS (1994) is Lee Tamahori's adaptation of the first instalment of a powerful drama exploring the lives of the Māori Heke family. An unflinching and often brutal depiction of the effects of alcoholism, domestic violence and extreme poverty, Temuera Morrisson garnered critical acclaim and went on to become an international star but he is ably supported by Rena Owen, Cliff Curtis and especially Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell who delivers a moving performance as tragic eldest daughter Grace,

Lady Bird & Is It Cake? Too

2023/07/28

It seems absurd that a podcast devoted to parents rekindling their love for cinema has taken three hundred and fifty something episodes to get around to discussing the Top 5 Births but here we are. Most of our examples are either comedies or horrors which tells you everything you need to know about our experiences or parenting in general. While the rest of the world goes BARBIE crazy, we thought we would take a look back at writer/director Greta Gerwig's solo feature debut LADY BIRD, in which

2023/07/26

When a city gang member decapitates the statue of a local deity, villager Ting (Tony Jaa) is sent to Bangkok to return the stolen head to it's rightful owners. That's pretty much it for plot but it's a classic action movie set-up with a distinctly Thai flavour; astonishing stunts achieved without the use of wires or computer imagery using the brutal Muay Thai style of fighting, all flying elbows and knees. Breath-taking from start to finish.We love to hear from our listeners! By which

Vexillologists should be delighted this week as we attempt to raise the cinematic banner as high as we can when we discuss the top 5 Flags. From fictional countries to cartoon weaponry, it's actually churches that prove to be a surprisingly good place to go to collect them, after all it's a great place to seek pennants.

Midweek Mention...Pleasantville

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/07/19

Dan takes us back to a time he remembers fondly, the fabulous 50's and the birth of the boomer generation who single-handedly solve racism in Gary Ross's 1998 fantasy PLEASANTVILLE. I'm being unnecessarily cynical because on the one hand this is an entirely original fantasy with a great concept and unique visual style, a stirring Randy Newman score and beautiful themes about the power of self-expression but on the other it's a movie that seeks to address segregation and racism in

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/07/12

Today, we're stepping into the shoes of rebellious teenagers in the satirical dark comedy classic, "Heathers".Directed by Michael Lehmann, HEATHERS is a 1989 cult film that deconstructs the teen movie genre with a razor-sharp script by Daniel Waters. The film stars Winona Ryder as Veronica, a high school student looking to break free from her toxic friend group - the Heathers. Her life takes a dark turn when she gets involved with the school's sociopathic outsider, played with

Black Rain

Bad Dads Film Review ·

2023/07/07

When a notorious gangster escapes from custody while being transported to Japan, rebellious but inept cop Nick Conklin (Michael Douglas) sets out to recapture him at any cost, in Ridley Scott’s action thriller BLACK RAIN (1989). Slightly more thoughtful than it might first appear, with America's position as a global power analysed through the lens of an unengaging and drawn-out organised crime saga that never quite gets going. A likeable performance from Andy Garcia as unfortunately beheaded

Seemingly emerging with many of his career trademarks already on display, THIEF (1981) is writer and director Michael Mann's film debut and features the auteur's usual meticulous attention to detail and commitment to realism in this terrific crime revenge thriller. When strictly freelance diamond heist expert Frank's fence meets an untimely demise he is forced into a meeting with mafia boss Leo (Robert Prosky), who persuades him to undertake one last, lucrative job.
