l think l read more people walked out of the Cinema while watching wolf Creek then any other film ever made becasue of the violence, especially alot of women walked out. Also becasue the film seemed realistic almost like it was really happening in real life not like those b grade american horror films. If you liked Wolf Creek another Violent but Good Aussie film is Romper Stomper.

Well take it up with the missus and her girlfriend. 
I didn't have an issue with the actors - just the CGI and dreamy sets.
Really, who doesn't love Mr Jackman? He can go from singing and dancing one day to being Wolverine the next. All while still being a nice guy.
Never been a fan of Ms Kidman-Cruise-Urban. I don't think she's an especially good actress and she's had so bloody much "work" done to her face it doesn't move anymore. My husband thinks she should eat something, too.

Two good Aussie films not many have heard of " Traveling North" staring the Aussie actor who played Rumpole in Rumpole of the Bailey and another film called " The interview" staring Hugo Weaving.
