A feel-good indie with heart,
But Radnor tiptoes cliché and smart,
Olsen’s still on the rise,
Jenkins: tick (no surprise),
Efron wins with an unusual part.

Little Hushpuppy couldn't be more adorable, But The Bathtub she lives in's deplorable, When floods rise it starts to look tragic, So she dreams up a world full of magic, Through a child's eyes even faith is restorable.
Lisa also checked the film out and had this to say:There's a real beauty to the decay,
And how does a 6-year-old portray,
Such a depth and a...

From the Korean seaside hails,
A charming, kooky trio of tales,
Almost the whole crowd,
Were laughing out loud,
And overall: more wins than fails.

Kauwboy - the tale of two friends,
A different connection that had its bends,
But although it is tough,
And times are too rough,
They'll have a relationship that never ends.

Something stinks in their trailer,
But their product's no longer a failure,
If they get you alone,
You'll end up blood and bone,
It's Wolf Creek meets Gardening Australia.

Rodriguez could have been the next Dylan,
In South Africa his music made a killin',
But the money they say,
Never made it his way,
The record company exec's the real villain.

Long journey so beautifully told,
Not the done-to-death boy meets girl mold,
The acting: true art,
It'll get to your heart,
And the director: only 22 years old!

To the crazy house Shirley is heading,
Her kids fear mental illness is spreading,
Shaz refutes their insanity,
With advice and profanity,
It's the Nanny meets Muriel's Wedding.

Lovely couple set out to see,
If Italy's where they should be,
It's a picturesque ride,
As we watch them decide,
To flee or not to flee.

Could that humble legume we see,
Bring peace & set everyone free?
Is it the great equaliser?
Could it make us all wiser?
All hail the mighty chick pea!

Idea's been done (Woody Allen; Twilight Zone),
But there's also new stuff of its own,
It's got lots of charm,
But sorry to alarm,
In one schmultzy part you might moan.

Two brothers (an odd pair of buds),
Appear to the world to be duds,
Can't keep out of harm,
But they have a weird charm,
What'll become of the 'empire' of spuds?

Dennis looks like a big hulking lug,
But don't be fooled by his mug,
Stoic, gentle & lost,
His mum nagged & she bossed,
You'll want to slap her & give him a hug.

Young Skunk’s life begins to unfurl,
When she sees unjust in the world,
With its cruel childish fiction,
A stunning depiction,
Of a dad and his love for his girl.
Thanks to Jess Young for her review!...

It's intriguing, with mystery galore,
And so many questions to explore:
Is she talking BS?
Or does she pass the truth test?
Ending too soon, I wanted much more.

Pinochet: a bully & a thug,
Larrain's drama & comedy: I dug,
Oh if only he'd not,
Decided it be shot,
On retro film stock that looked fug.

Utterly compelling, mind-bending stuff, With subject matter so tough, In this great doco I bask, But like of Catfish, I ask: 'Is any of it actually a bluff'?

Melancholia but not as artistic,
A world’s end that’s almost realistic,
Not all bright and sunny,
But still laugh out loud funny,
Leaves you sad but also optimistic.

110 years without winning a play-off,
And a stressed coach that could use a day off,
Not about sporting teams,
But teenagers with dreams,
"If you keep your head up it’ll pay off".
