G’day goons!

Nice to see you sods again. Sorry about the delay but I’ve been destroying the evidence dealing with the leftovers from my last barbecue. It was kind of impromptu you see, I never expected that preacher to show up have that little accident.

Regardless of that mess here we are. There is a small matter I wanted to talk about if that’s ok with you buggers (and even if it’s not). I’d like to tell you about another movie that in my humble opinion…

Okay, which one of you halfwits coughed?

Anyway, The movie in question didn’t get the credit it deserved. Happy?

PRIMEVAL
This movie’s only real flaw was that it was last in line at Hollywood’s half-hearted and mostly ill advised spate of “sort of” political thriller/big animal hunt flicks that came out toward the end of 2006. Primeval had the bad break of being released the following January (never a good sign) and it also recieved some bad press relating to some of the dialogue. It wasn’t Orlando’s fault, honest!

Dominic Purcell plays Tim Manfrey, an arrogant reporter who gets his tuckus handed to him after botching an important story. His punishment: he’s sent to Africa to cover the mauling of an American naturalist by a legendary man eating crocodile named Gustave. To put it mildly he has more respect for the reptile than his partner Aviva Masters (Brooke Langton), and no respect at all for the rest of his companions save his trusty cameraman Steven Johnson (Orlando Jones). Interestingly, the crocodile isn’t the problem.

DAMMIT.

The movie is well acted and thankfully the croc looks better than you’d expect in a movie like this… way better. Aside from some unfortunate dialogue from Orlando’s character, as I’d mentioned, the movie works. It kept my attention and that’s saying something. I’m particularly fond of the villian. No, not the damn croc, the real villian. A warlord who goes by the moniker “Little Gustave”.

Enjoy.

In other news, why is a pretentious, right-wing twat like Elizabeth Hasselbeck lecturing Whoopi Goldberg about anything at all; let alone Sociology and racial issues. The mind, it boggles. Well, Hasselbeck’s mind just sort of sits there, but we all knew that didn’t we kiddies?

That’s it for now, I’ll have more when I get this mess cleaned up. Hmmm, I do have that complete and utter nightmare get-together with Hie and the boys to plan and I haven’t even come up with a main course yet. I could always give The View a call, couldn’t I? 🙂
