| Rating: M |
| Director: Janine Hosking |
| Starring: Chad Morgan, Joanie Morgan, Tex Perkins (Narrrator) |
|
More Info: |
| For almost 60 years, Chad Morgan has been one of country Australia's quintessential and most beloved troubadours. A man who has come to represent the comic voice of the Australian outback, Morgan, now 78, still tours constantly, his charm and boisterous tales speaking to a vision of Australia many assume to be gone. Half biopic, half tour film, I'm Not Dead Yet is filmmaker Janine Hosking's deeply affectionate ode to one of Australia's true characters, the self-proclaimed 'Sheik of Scrubby Creek'. Narrated by Tex Perkins and filled with Morgan's classic songs and endless good humour, I'm Not Dead Yet is the definitive portrait of a larrikin who just wants to remind everyone that he is still very, very much alive.

At the same time, Morris's negotiations for the endorsement of the man in third place, a South Carolina Senator, hit a snag. A young campaign intern, Molly Stearns, gets Stephen's romantic attention. Republicans have a trick up their sleeves, Stephen may be too trusting, and Molly has a secret. What's most important: career, victory, or virtue?

WAR HORSE |
146 mins |
|
| Rating: M |
| Director: Steven Spielberg |
| Starring: Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Mullan |
|
More Info: |
| A British lad sets out on a journey to rescue his horse from the battlefields of World War I. Albert's pet horse and best friend, Joey, is sold to the cavalry at the outbreak of the first World War. Heartbroken, Albert heads to France to find his friend, despite being too young to enlist in the British army. The film follows Joey's journey across Europe and through the war, as well as Albert's search. Be prepared for a huge emotional wallop in Steven Spielberg's wonderful film about an extraordinary horse: the spirited chestnut stallion with the white blaze has traits we can instantly admire: individuality, loyalty, courage and plenty of heart. Spielberg's powerful drama has plenty of it, too - heart, that is, its journey taking us into the lives of the many people who are touched by the horse - none more so than the boy who raises him and with whom it shares an indestructible bond. - Urbancinefile
