We hope this week's podcast will earn your ‘quiet affirmative noises'--whatever they might sound like...??? Listeners to last week's show may remember one correspondent's story of a film eliciting this mysterious and elusive sound—and you've kindly sent in some examples to clear up this crucial matter for us. Mmhmm. Grown-up Aussie animation ‘Memoir of a Snail' is first on Mark's review slate this week--starring Sarah Snook and with a voice cast including Nick Cave and Jacki Weaver, the crafted stop-motion story follows the melancholic life of a reclusive, snail collecting misfit in 1970s Canberra. On a lighter note, to solve all your lovers' tiffs about what genre to go for this Valentine's Day movie night, a review of the romcom-slasher hybrid ‘Heart Eyes'. And last but certainly not least—'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy', fourth instalment of the British romcom institution starring Renée Zellweger in which Bridget gets back to dating for the first time after the death of Mark (Colin Firth). Our guests this week are Stephen Graham and Malchi Kirby—who star in the Steven Knight-penned Victorian boxing drama ‘A Thousand Blows', out next week. In it, a bulked-up Graham plays Henry ‘Sugar' Goodson—the fearsome East End boxer and adversary of Kirby's Hezekiah Moscow. Hezekiah arrives in 1800s London from Jamaica, hoping to fulfil his dream of becoming a lion tamer at the zoo—but finds himself at the heart of the city's criminal underworld, orchestrated by Mary Carr (Erin Doherty), ‘Queen' of the all-female crime gang The Forty Elephants. Simon chats to the stars about getting into the ring together in this gritty drama based on real historical figures, getting ripped, Jamaican heritage and more.

Even though Breakfast host Pam Boland and Simon Miraudo are away on special assignment, movies are still being released and the Movie Squad continues in its quest to review all of them! Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen join guest Breakfast host Naomi Carter to discuss what's in cinemas this week. Tristan looks at the new Australian film from animator Adam Elliott (Harvey Krumpet, Mary and Max), Memoir Of A Snail. With a claymation look comparable to Wallace And Gromit, this film tackles darker themes with its focus on Grace Pudel (voiced by Sarah Snook) who narrates her life to a pet snail, covering Grace's separation from her twin brother Gilbert (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) and her friendship with the eccentric and elderly Pinky (voiced by Jacki Weaver). Then, Cecilia took us to a new chapter in a horror franchise, Smile 2, which follows the further terror of a parasitic demon that possesses a host and takes the form of people “smiling.” Here, a pop star Skye Riley (played by Naomi Scott) who is mounting a comeback tour begins to experience nightmarish hallucinations and visions while dealing with pressure from fame, fans and her manager mother (Rosemarie DeWitt). Stay tuned for Tristan and Cecilia's pod-exclusive chat including a bonus review of the new crime-comedy-caper Greedy People starring Himesh Patell, Lily James and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, which is also out in cinemas now!

Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving into a film that strikes the perfect balance between humor, heartbreak, and the hope that pulls us through life's darkest moments. Directed by David O. Russell and featuring a powerhouse cast, "Silver Linings Playbook" has left a lasting impression on audiences since its release in 2012. This film isn't just another romantic comedy—it's a deeply moving exploration of mental health, relationships, and the redemptive power of love."Silver Linings Playbook" tells the story of Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper), struggling to rebuild his life after a stint in a mental institution. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Pat's world is in shambles: he's lost his job, his house, and his marriage. Despite these setbacks, Pat is determined to regain control of his life and win back his estranged wife, Nikki (Brea Bee). He moves back in with his parents, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro) and Dolores (Jacki Weaver), whose quirks and struggles add complexity to the family dynamic.From the very beginning, it's clear that "Silver Linings Playbook" is not your typical romantic comedy. The film deals with heavy themes such as mental illness and the challenges of recovery, but it does so with a light touch that never feels exploitative or disrespectful. David O. Russell's direction is sharp and empathetic, capturing the chaos and confusion of Pat's life without losing sight of the humour and humanity that make his story so compelling.One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to portray mental illness in a realistic yet hopeful way. Pat's journey is filled with setbacks and moments of despair, but the film never loses sight of the possibility of recovery. Bradley Cooper's portrayal of Pat is nothing short of remarkable—he brings a raw intensity to the role that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Cooper's ability to convey Pat's vulnerability and determination makes him a character that is both relatable and deeply sympathetic. It's a performance that resonates long after the credits roll.Jennifer Lawrence, who won an Academy Award for her role as Tiffany Maxwell, is equally captivating. Tiffany is a young widow who is dealing with her mental health struggles, and her unlikely friendship with Pat becomes the heart of the film. Lawrence brings a fiery energy to the role, making Tiffany both fierce and fragile, a perfect match for Pat's more subdued but equally tumultuous personality. Their chemistry is electric, and their interactions blend sharp wit and genuine emotion, making their relationship one of the most memorable in recent cinema.The supporting cast is just as impressive. Robert De Niro delivers a standout performance as Pat Sr., a father who is as complicated as his son. De Niro brings a mix of humour, frustration, and deep-seated love to the role, creating an endearing and exasperating character. Jacki Weaver, as Dolores, provides a softer, more nurturing presence, balancing the family's dynamics with her quiet strength. Together, they create a believable and touching portrayal of a family trying to navigate the challenges of mental illness and the impact it has on their lives."Silver Linings Playbook" is also notable for its depiction of sports fanaticism, particularly how it ties into the characters' lives and emotional states. Pat Sr.'s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles is both a source of tension and a means of bonding within the family. This subplot adds another layer of authenticity to the film, grounding it in a specific cultural context while also highlighting how people use rituals and routines to cope with life's uncertainties.The film's pacing is brisk, and its narrative keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Russell's script, adapted from Matthew Quick's novel of the same name, is tight and witty, filled with dialogue that is as sharp as it is heartfelt. The story unfolds in a way that feels organic, with each scene building on the last to create a sense of momentum that mirrors Pat's journey towards healing and self-acceptance.Cinematographically, "Silver Linings Playbook" uses a mix of close-ups and wide shots to create a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The handheld camera work gives the film a raw, almost documentary-like feel, drawing the audience into Pat's world and allowing them to experience his highs and lows firsthand. This visual style, combined with the film's vibrant colour palette, adds to the optimism that underpins the story, even in its darkest moments.The soundtrack perfectly complements the film's tone, featuring a mix of classic rock and contemporary hits. Songs like "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder and "Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash provide a nostalgic backdrop that enhances the emotional resonance of key scenes. Danny Elfman's subtle score also adds to the film's mood, underscoring the characters' emotional journeys without overwhelming the narrative.One of the most remarkable aspects of "Silver Linings Playbook" is its ability to blend humour and drama so seamlessly. The film tackles serious issues—mental illness, loss, and the struggle to move forward—yet it does so with a lightness that never feels forced. The humour arises naturally from the characters and their interactions, providing moments of levity that make the film's more poignant moments all the more impactful.As the film progresses, Pat and Tiffany's relationship evolves unexpectedly. What begins as a tentative friendship rooted in shared pain gradually blossoms into something deeper. Their connection is not a fairy tale romance but a realistic portrayal of two people who find solace and strength in each other's company. The dance competition they enter together becomes a metaphor for their journey—awkward, messy, but ultimately beautiful in its imperfection."Silver Linings Playbook" is a film that resonates on multiple levels. It's a love story, but it's also about family, healing, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of adversity. The film doesn't offer easy answers or neat resolutions, but it does provide a sense of hope—a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is the possibility of finding a silver lining.In conclusion, "Silver Linings Playbook" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates entertaining and thought-provoking films. With its exceptional performances, sharp writing, and sensitive portrayal of complex issues, it stays with you long after the credits roll.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

In this weeks episode we welcome our fantastic guest Emmy Award Winning writer/director Matthew Gentile! He was kind enough to let us review his new noir crime thriller American Murderer! Based on a true story, this riveting thriller follows Jason Derek Brown (Tom Pelphrey), a charismatic con man bankrolling his extravagant lifestyle through a series of scams. On Brown's trail: LanceLeising (Ryan Phillippe), a dogged FBI special agent determined to put Brown behind bars. When Brown's funds run low and his past catches up with him, he plots his most elaborate scheme yet,pitting himself against Leising in a deadly game of cat and mouse—and becoming the most unlikely and elusive fugitive on the FBI's most-wanted list. Featuring an all star cast including - Tom Pelphrey, Ryan Phillippe, Idina Menzel, and Jacki Weaver. Directors Statement Why do we fall for con artists? Is it that they're smart and the victims are gullible, or is itsomething deeper? This is the question at the heart of AMERICAN MURDERER.As a kid, I was obsessed with crime--so much so that I would browse the Top Ten MostWanted list, hoping to help the FBI catch a fugitive. One of them made a distinct impression onme: Jason Derek Brown, a surfer dude with spiky blonde hair and a smirk on his face. Comparedto Osama Bin Laden and Whitey Bulger, he just didn't fit the profile.On the surface, AMERICAN MURDERER is a cat-and-mouse thriller about a fugitive and the FBIagent who has been tasked with bringing him to justice. But what fascinates me about Jason'sstory isn't the crime itself; it's how he impacted the people who loved him. That's why I choseto tell his story through multiple perspectives. Whether the audience likes Jason or not–by theend of the film, they will get a 360-degree view of who he was.With AMERICAN MURDERER, my intention is to guide the audience to look directly into theeyes of a dark soul and shine a light on how he became this way. Thus the film poses anotherquestion: can we take a human being who is rotten to the core and move an audience to aplace of compassion? I believe that we can. -Matthew Gentile --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/speakeasy-noircast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/speakeasy-noircast/support

Episode 48 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Alex Russell Alex Russell is one of those young actors who’s been quietly, or not so quietly racked up a dozen movie credits; both in Australia and the US. After starring in the acclaimed indie feature Wasted on the Young, he played the lead role in the US science fiction thriller Chronicle, grossing over $126 million. Then starred in re-make of Brian De Palma’s horror classic, Carrie alongside Julianne Moore & Chloe Grace Moretz, Andrew Niccol’s movie The Host, Cut Snake with director Tony Ayres, a role in Angelina Jolie's Academy Award nominated epic Unbroken, Greg McLean’s film Jungle opposite Daniel Radcliffe, Only The Brave with Josh Brolin, Goldstone, with Jacki Weaver. In television, Alex is into the 5th season of global hit drama SWAT, starring as the much loved Jim Street. This is all great but what impressed me most and prompted me to want to have a yak with Alex, is that rather than just cruising along as a successful working actor, he’s pro-actively producing his own projects. His latest micro-budget indie movie UNDER MY SKIN is punching well above it’s weight. Written and Directed by Alex’s regular collaborator Aussie David O’Donnell, and produced by Alex and Raynen O’Keefe. The story follows Denny, a free spirit and artist who falls for Ryan, a strait-laced lawyer, played by Alex. When Denny questions her gender their love is tested. It’s a powerful film and just won the Alternative Spirit Award at the prestigious Rhode Island International Film Festival and is currently trending on Aussie streaming platform in STAN.
