The Marriage of Figaro (2009)
It's not so easy to plan a wedding and keep everyone happy
We were pleasantly surprised to find this film - of which we hadn't heard much - so good. It is funny all through and hilarious at times. Contrary to some low budget Australian films, all is understandable and well edited. You get to like most of the characters especially the main character, Figaro, a well- meaning bikie (but perhaps not the mother!) and the music accompanies the action perfectly. It is filmed in various locations in the suburbs of Adelaide. We had just seen "Beautiful Kate" and "Charlie and Boots" and much prefer "The Marriage of Figaro". Hopefully it will be screened in more than 2 cinemas in Adelaide and you'll get a chance to see it. Highly recommended.
Bodies (2004)
No redeeming factor
As I am a fan of hospital and medical shows, I have found this one gripping and sometimes humorous (especially the scenes with Dr Whitman) which brings a bit la light relief. However, I was looking forward to the last episode because I expected that the bad ones would be punished and the good ones reinstated. Instead of that, the hospital management are making even more fools of themselves in an unbelievable manner and it's getting worse and worse for the good ones. You can't help wondering what the unions are doing or doesn't Rob, Donna and Maria know what unions are there for ? Besides, never seeing the outside, trees, grass, sunlight is a bit oppressive. Anyone understood what the last words were ? i.e. the answer Rob Lake gave to Mrs Strawberry's children question "Why are you telling us all that?" It was very frustrating not to be able to understand it.
