TV Round-Up
Boardwalk
Empire kept
everyone covered,
although Michael
Pitt and Gretchen
Mol did a sex scene.
That was weird
enough without
nudity, because they
are mother and son
in the show!
Hung
produced
a breast from
Rebecca Creskoff,
which was nice, but
pretty tame by
Creskoff's elevated
standard from past
episodes.

You might call this
film Crash for
Morons: bittersweet
intersecting story
lines about lives in
L.A.; quiet
melancholy music;
dramedy; usual
stuff. The dramatic
lead is played by
... Dane Cook. Not
worth a review. 3.6
at IMDb.
Anyway, here's
Aja Volkmann.
You might see a
partial breast
in there
somewhere, but
it's not really
much of a sex
scene. She does,
however, look
excellent in
bikini underwear
before the sex
starts.

By the way, check out
Rok's Dr Who collages.
There's no nudity, but
those are some
kick-ass collages.

Dark
Age
1987
Dark Age is a
horror thriller about a
legendary crocodile -
with links to the
Aboriginal Dreamtime -
that starts chomping
down on the locals,
mainly because he is
sick of what the white
man has done (it's not
as terrible as it
sounds, I need to write
it better). After a
night of hunting
crocodiles, two poachers
are killed and another
poacher (Max Phipps)
barely gets out alive.
Steve Harris (John
Jarratt) is a local park
ranger who is called in
to fix the problem. He
is a man who is trying
to balance the
environmental concerns
with the need to keep
the area safe. When a
young Aboriginal boy is
swallowed whole by the
same crocodile (a scene
that is quite
shocking...), panic sets
in. The local council is
worried about future
developments and the
area getting a bad name.
The poachers go berserk
and shoot up every
crocodile they find, but
not the one that did the
damage. Also to
complicate things for
Steve, his former lover
Cathy (Nikki Coghill)
comes back to town.
After another man is
attacked, the council
decides to go in all
gung ho and kill the
crocodile, but Steve is
conflicted and consults
local Aboriginal elders
to help with a solution.
The elder decides that
to keep harmony with the
land, they will capture
the croc and take him to
his homeland while
killing another croc to
make it look like that
was the croc doing all
the damage. The council
tentatively agrees, but
when the poacher, now
one arm down after
another tangle with the
croc, finds out about
this plan, he goes
ballastic and decides
that this croc must die.
Up until it's DVD
release in October, Dark
Age has never been
released in Australia
thanks to all that
distribution red tape. A
shame as this is quite a
good B-thriller that
borrows heavily from
Jaws. A solid story with
some great action both
on land and with the
croc. Sure, the croc
looks very fake, but
that doesn't necessarily
take away from the
action. It's a far
better film than that
other recent croc film
Rogue (also starring
John Jarratt), which is
a very disappointing
film. Dark Age is well
worth a look.
And
there's Nikki Coghill
again. Man, how good was
she in the 80s? And,
she's nipping out all
over the place in this
film. John Jarratt can't
stop raving about her on
the commentary. Hmmmm...
