river queen
Here’s my latest film review: of River Queen … The film follows Sarah’s search for her child, a search set against the backdrop of the viscous fighting between Maori and Pakeha that is part of the history of the Whanganui River. for full review
I do these for a Denominational magazine, who allow me to place them on the web once the monthly magazine has been published.
My other film reviews include;
Brokeback Mountain here;
Narnia here;
Serenity here;
The World’s Fastest Indian here;
Sedition, a New Zealand film about the fate of conscientious objectors in World War 2, here;
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, here
Next month I review Crash.
Further film resources:

Huh? Your brokeback mountain review points to River Queen and you also add that next month you’re going to review River Queen

Hey Steve. Enjoy your blogsite as always. Helped kickstart my own. Tried to email you today with thoughts on having coffee together with a local emergent-type pastor from here in Nelson when we’re both down your way. . . but can’t get by your spam-block. Any interest?

Did you really say “Tom Hanks” in the Last Samurai? Wasn’t that Tom Cruise?

Heh heh – occupational hazard of being married to an exceptional editor ;oP
Married couples really do start to exhibit each others traits and characteristics… whodd-a-thunkit?
