Not Quite Hollywood

Day 4 reel to real

Not Quite Hollywood by Mark Hartley is a cineastes buffet of Australian genre cinema of the seventies and eighties.

I discovered some directors and films I will have to go the local cool video strore no big chains allowed to see some the films mentioned in this documentry. I liked all the hollowood guest stars the director was able to get to talk too, about the Ozploitation of films from the land down under from Jamie lee Curtis to Quentin Tarantino.

The car crashes women or chicks with big boobs and serial killer types showed us the different side to austrialian films and actors directors an era that might have been forgotten if not for this upstart director Mark Hartley who took the time to find the directors and producers of the movies from a special time in austrlian movie history.

Names like brian trenchard-smith and steve railsback were able to show up in T.O. and answer questions at the Q& A .

The story is now told , go out and ask for these films The man from Hong Kong, Alvin Purple, Patrick, Turkey shoot , road games and mad dog morgan.

If Not ask for a retrospective to be added to the cinematheque of Ont jack man hall ago or local revue theatre like the bloor or the royal...

ok sharp 1 off to party now.
