Richard and Greg jump across the local “pond” from Australia to review three New Zealand films from world-renowned directors Lee Tamahori, Peter Jackson and Taika Waititi.  While they have similar responses to two of these films, our film reviewers are (South?) poles apart for the third.  Not to worry!  For Greg brings a “Kiwi moviegoer's sensation on a stick” into Richard's life, revived from a past Roman holiday.

The Lord of the Rings film trilogy won 17 Academy Awards and its legacy endures nearly 25 years after the first film's release. The trilogy's success has put its filming location, New Zealand, on the industry map. The motion picture business contributes at least $2.12 billion a year to New Zealand's economy. That's also been a boon for Indigenous cinema. Māori film critic and programmer Leo Koziol calls it a “renaissance". The recent Māori-led film The Convert, directed by Lee Tamahori, is garnering critical acclaim. We'll talk with Koziol and hear from Māori creatives who worked on Lord of the Rings about progress on Māori representation in film since then. This is an encore show and we won't be taking live calls from listeners.

“WHY'S EVERYTHING SO BLACK, TOOT?“(CONTENT WARNING: Although this movie was very good, we do have to warn you that it might not be for everyone. The subject matter is difficult and might be triggering for some, as it deals with domestic violence, sexual assault and suicide.)On this episode, we explore mid 90's New Zealand Maori cinema in the critically acclaimed Once Were Warriors, directed by Lee Tamahori. The film stars Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison, and Cliff Curtis, and it is based on the first entry of Alan Duff's book trilogy. We went into this movie blind, only really knowing Temuera Morrison from playing Jango/Boba Fett in Star Wars, and seeing Cliff Curtis show up everywhere from Avatar 2 to Training Day. We took it up after one of Austin's streamer friends RasNoMas, a native Hawaiian, recommended it to cover the podcast. The film was a huge hit in New Zealand when it was originally released in 1994, drawing more at the NZ box office than Jurassic Park! It was released to the states the following year, and almost 20 years later we both watched it for the first time.The film is about a Maori family living in Auckland, New Zealand. Jake, played by Temuera Morrison is at first very charming, but has a violently abusive side to him that terrorizes his whole family. Beth, played by Rena Owen, is trying to be there for her children but is slowly losing them one by one. Throughout the course of the film, we see the family take refuge in parts of the Maori heritage and culture.The great thing about watching films from different periods, from different parts of the world, and from different cultures, is that we get a good luck at what it's like to live in someone else's shoes. Once Were Warrior succeeds here, as it doesn't portray our characters as one dimensional archetypes, but as complex people brought to life by truly phenomenal acting.We hope you enjoy this episode!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

Legendary film maker Lee Tamahori's new film The Convert is already out and in theaters and OnDemand for all to enjoy. We couldn't pass up the chance to talk to Lee about the film and his groundbreaking feature, Once Were Warriors. This might be a more overall serious episode of Overdue Rentals, but it is a highly important and thoughtful one.

It's a jam-packed episode of BEHIND THE LENS as director JEFF CELENTANO joins us live talking about his new film BLACKWATER LANE, and you'll also hear my exclusive interviews with ERIC ROBERTS talking LUMINA while GUY PEARCE discusses THE CONVERT. First up is my exclusive interview with the one and only ERIC ROBERTS talking about one of his new films (he has so many popping out and on deck), the sci-fi thriller LUMINA. A fun interview with one of my favorite character actors. Giving insight into creating a character including the wardrobe, production design, and location, Eric also discusses his process for accepting roles. Then director JEFF CELENTANO discusses his new psychological thriller, BLACKWATER LANE. Written by Elizabeth Fowler based on the best-selling novel by B.A. Paris, this is one riveting, twisty-turny tale that (1) doesn't stray far from the book and (2) is exquisitely visualized by Jeff in the film as he taps into all of our senses. And we round out the show going overtime with my exclusive interview with GUY PEARCE talking about his new film, THE CONVERT. A powerful, emotional, and thought-provoking film, it's easy to understand what led Guy to this one, not to mention the chance to work with director Lee Tamahori in this rich period piece It's been a few years since we last spoke, so catching up now is just wonderful as Guy talks about what led him to THE CONVERT, the filming experience, and even some similarities with his 2012 film "Lockout". http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

I'm still amazed that we have come to the point that maybe one of the greatest films of all time, is an Overdue Rental. This Friday, July 12th sees the release of Guy Pearce's new film, The Convert in theaters and On Demand. And while Guy was with us to talk about his new film with famed director Lee Tamahori, we had the opportunity to discuss both the legend that is L.A. Confidential, and the missing sequel we almost got.

Film director Lee Tamahori and producer Robin Scholes have a long history of collaboration, beginning with 1994's Once Were Warriors, which launched both their careers. Their latest offering, The Convert, starring Guy Pearce, opens in cinemas next week. A loose adaptation of Wulf by New Zealand author Hamish Clayton, The Convert features a largely Maori cast and follows the story of Munro, a war veteran-cum-preacher who comes to Aotearoa in 1830.

Named by IndieWire as one of the best actors to have never received an Academy Award nomination, Guy Pearce has had quite the prolific career.   The Aussie actor has stared in over 400 episodes of Neighbours, L.A. Confidential, Memento, and The Time Machine, but his breakout role was in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert back in 1994.   He's returning to kiwi cinemas in a week's time with The Convert, the third collaboration between director Lee Tamahori and producer Robin Scholes.  The film is a historical drama, depicting pre-colonial Aotearoa New Zealand and Māori Culture. A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in 1830s New Zealand, his violent past is drawn in to question and his faith is put to the test as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody conflict between Māori tribes.   Pearce plays preacher Thomas Munro, telling Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame that he found the script very raw, moving, and fascinating.  “It was just very emotional, and I could really see myself as that character.”  The film is set in a New Zealand context, but the content translates to an international audience, Pearce telling Tame that no matter what the narrative is the idea of a white colonial man taking over or delving into indigenous culture is something that people in many countries can relate to.   The Convert is more than a two-dimensional depiction of colonialism, director Lee Tamahori aiming to take that narrative and make more of a human story, centring connection and compassion regardless of culture, history, and background.  For Pearce, the crux of the story was his character's development.  “We're finding a character who's been traumatised and is looking to find himself and in, in discovering this other culture, he is, he is allowed to then find himself and he therefore owes this other culture.”  “His life was the crux of the story in a way,” he told Tame. “Certainly for me, selfishly, it was the crux of the story.”  This project wasn't the first time Pearce met Tamahori, but it was the first project they'd worked on together, and Pearce said it was beyond his expectations.  “To witness that wonderful, brilliant intelligence, inspirational kind of outlook that he has, to witness that on a daily level and to be a part of it, and to, you know, he's so joyful.”  “He's got such a beautiful kind of energy, and an inspiring quality that you just want to be around him.”  Pearce has had an extensive career, and his success means that he can now be discerning in the projects he chooses to be involved in.  “I just do the things that move me, you know. I've always done that.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rena Owen is best known for her pivotal role as Beth Heke in Lee Tamahori's iconic film ‘Once Were Warriors' where her compelling performance earned her countless awards and nominations, locally and internationally. Since then, Rena has continued to excel in her career as an actress, producer & writer in film, television and theater, showcasing her versatility. Beyond her individual accomplishments, Rena has advocated for Māori representation in the entertainment industry, using her platform to raise awareness of the challenges, and support rangatahi - a testament to her talent, resilience and her unwavering commitment to using her influence for positive impact. But what were the foundations of Rena's success? What was going on behind the scenes of the acting career? We got to chat with Rena about her humble beginnings in Moerewa, an almost-medical career, a conviction decades old that still hinders her work opportunities, and her dreams for the future. This is her story. Indigenous 100 - Rena Owen

ONCE WERE WARRIORS (1994) is Lee Tamahori's adaptation of the first instalment of a powerful drama exploring the lives of the Māori Heke family. An unflinching and often brutal depiction of the effects of alcoholism, domestic violence and extreme poverty, Temuera Morrisson garnered critical acclaim and went on to become an international star but he is ably supported by Rena Owen, Cliff Curtis and especially Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell who delivers a moving performance as tragic eldest daughter Grace, in what turns out to have been her only big screen appearance. Morrisson of course went on to feature as a Fett - two in fact, as Peter reminds me - whereas Director Tamahori went on to direct the preposterous Nicolas Cage thriller NEXT, reviewed on this pod and much loved by all. We love to hear from our listeners!

What happened to Episode 59? I hear you saying. Well...I explain it at the start of the episode, but the short answer is that I had a post-production issue, so the episode will be delayed. So because Episode 60 is the last of the Around the World in 20 Films series, we decided to release this one and give you a brand-new Episode 59 next time around. And just temporarily ignore the previews for Episode 61, although in that respect they'll be accurate. So we take a brief detour to New Zealand and Australia, for a couple of films in which past sins are confronted. Here in Part 1 we're viewing Once Were Warriors, a 1994 film directed by Lee Tamahori. In this one the sins are rather recent, in the living memories of all the characters. It's a compelling story that will pull your emotions in different directions as you work out just who the bad guy is, here. In Part 2 we jump to Western Australia to check out the Rabbit-Proof Fence. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

American agent, Jinx Johnson assists Bond in his attempt to thwart the villain's plans to exploit a satellite that is powered by solar energy.

Here's a question. How many major film dramas - including top-end TV series - are currently being shot here at the moment? Eight? Twelve? Not even close! By our reckoning there are over 30 - from overseas productions like James Cameron's Avatar sequels and Taika's Time Bandits, to TV hits like Brokenwood, Creamerie and Panthers. There's never been a better time, it seems, to be a New Zealand actor, or film crew member. There's a boom going on - new films from Lee Tamahori and Christine Jeffs, international shoots like Power Rangers and Minecraft - and above all TV shows, reflecting the fact that many of these are being snapped up overseas. Producer Phil Smith of Great Southern is part of that boom, coming off the hit series One Lane Bridge, and with a new series Dry Creek about to shoot in Kaikoura. He talks to Simon Morris about the boom - and how we can keep it going.

Survival films aren't necessarily the most popular genre but many of them are highly remembered.  Whether it was such cinema as THE GRAY (2011), THE REVENANT (2015), or CAST AWAY (2000), many are considered classic cinema and highly regarded.  In 1997, the movie THE EDGE, written by David Mamet and directed by Lee Tamahori, oddly slipped through the cracks when first released. Charles Morse (Anthony Hopkins) goes with his supermodel wife Mickey (Elle Macpherson) for a photoshoot in the remote areas of Alaska.  When photographer Bob Green (Alec Baldwin) wants better photos, they head off on a small plane to a local guide.  Unfortunately their plane crashes leaving Charles, Bob, and Bob's assistant Stephen (Harold Perrineau) stranded.  Soon, a Kodiak bear is on their trail and the three must fight for survival. Besides Anthonly Hopkins and Alec Baldwin in the leading roles, the film's cast includes Elle Macpherson, L.Q. Jones, Harold Perrineau and Bart the Bear.  The film, chosen by co-host Eric, was almost a topic for the Dark Discussions Podcast before being chosen for discussion here on the Cinema A La Carte podcast.  Take a listen and hear what your co-hosts feel about a highly underappreciated movie.
