Samson & Delilah Wins Big in Australia
13 December 2009 6:21 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
It was only five years ago when the Australian Film Institute Awards reached their most sad and pathetic moment. 2005, the year that will live in infamy for followers of Australian film, produced only one (One!) film that the AFI felt worthy enough to award. Cate Shortland's Somersault was nominated for and won every.single.category. The really sad thing is that it probably deserved to win them all, which says more about the slate of Aussie films that year than anything else.
Sidebar: Two of Somersault's wins were for Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington's performances. The former is on the cusp of Oscar and the latter on the cusp of global fame and worship. You could do worse than seeing where these two learnt the ropes.

There is something to be said about Kate Winslet's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards. After five nominations, Winslet finally won Best Actress! It's really about time. When she mentioned Meryl Streep, I took notice of the generations of actresses in attendance and that both Streep and Winslet belong differently. - - -
- - - This year, will someone from a much younger generation takes home the Oscar? I wonder will it be Saoirse Ronan for The Lovely Bones? Many are probably rooting for Carey Mulligan (An Education) to win and there are also many Oscarwatchers pinning their hopes on the older generation - will it be Dame Helen Mirren for The Last Station or will it be Meryl Streep's year yet again for Julie and Julia?

Wortho the wait?

"Aussie actors take fifteen hours to get to America - we ain' t going to waste our fucking time and money. And that means we're not going to waste their time." He might be firing up big time overseas with leading roles in mega-budgeted films like Terminator Salvation, the highly anticipated Avatar and the upcoming Clash Of The Titans remake, but Sam Worthington obviously still has a hearty interest in the local film industry. The star of such Aussie flicks as Dirty Deeds, Somersault and Gettin' Square has just been announced as one of the presenters at this year's Inside Film Awards on November 18, alongside fellow thesps Emily Barclay, Aden Young, Gyton Grantley, Emma Booth, Justine Clarke and Megan Gale. »
tMF Spotlight: Sam Worthington takes the lead + the buzz on Clash of the Titans!

I don't care that he was just a finalist to play James Bond.
But I care to take note that it took more than 7 years for his first critically-acclaimed role, Somersault, to finish. I also care and is quite interested to take a closer look at his new projects: from "Avatar", "Terminator Salvation" and "Clash of the Titans" to "The Tourist" and "The Candidate". I also care and is quite interested in reading what he's up to:
I also care that the public are getting their 12 dollars' worth when they go to a movie, and that they're not coming out not wanting to ever see a movie with me in it again. I don't care what people think of me as a person, but I do care what people think of my work, and whether I'm investing enough into it.
That's Sam Worthington talking, of course.

tMF Controversial: Do you hate Abbie Cornish, the person or the actress? Don't know (care) about the difference...
20 September 2009 4:39 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
We never venture into gossip, but we certainly like to tackle controversies - and while critics and a certain type of movie goers are praising Jane Campion's latest film - Bright Star - and its lead cast, Abbie Cornish (currently ranked #2 at the Top 50 Hitlist) and Ben Whishaw (coincidentally also ranked #2 at the Top 50 Hitlist), Cornish has to endure a certain 'backlash' as a result of a relationship. Unlike Fanny Brawne, who gets to recite poetry and is the heroine in the movie, Cornish is being branded by certain people as a real-life 'villainess'.

Bright Star: As Steadfast As Thou Art
16 September 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
Jane Campion is a rare filmmaker - she has the ability to shift your molecules, your awareness, the way you think. You stumble out of her films in a daze, and the images, ideas, and moments within, they simply don't leave. She's done it before with the likes of An Angel at My Table and The Piano, and her newest film, Bright Star, is a winning addition to her singular canon. After a six-year hiatus, Bright Star was sparked by the story of Fanny Brawne, the teenager who fell in love with Romantic poet John Keats and inspired his amazing, beautiful love letters and some of his greatest poems, including the gorgeous 'Bright Star.'
