Film Reviews by None

Ive seen this a few times.

Russel Crowe plays his role well as a family man who leads an ice hocky team of adolescent boys.

This film will bring you laughter and smiles.

Definately worth the watch.

Himalaya is best described as a fascination to learn about the Tibetans and the journey they took in order to live by way of trade.

The story line incorporated starts with the caravan leader dying and the rising of a power struggle by two others to take his place and lead the next caravan. This results in two caravans making the journey at different paces.

The ending is fantastic.

The landscapes showin in the movie are breathtaking!

Although the acting of the characters was as to be expected, i found the storyline to be quite hollow and the writing lacked inspiration.

Could have turned it off but really was waiting and hoping for it to pick up....it didnt.

Set in the Melbourne Underworld in present day is one of the reasons why i enjoyed this film so much, that and it keeps true to the original script (much like Romeo and Juliet adaptation with Leonardo Di Caprio).

Instead of swords there are maching guns, instead of horses there are sports cars and motocycles, the adaptation was done very well.

The movie keeps its medievel atmosphere whilst being very modern.

This movie is a must see!

Not many people outside of Australia know of Kokoda. Not many people outside of Australia know of Papua New Guinea for that matter, which is where 39th Battalion Kokoda is set. Among such pristine and magnificent jungle comes a story of war that hits the hearts of every Australian.

39th Battalion Kokoda shows the avid pursuit by the Japanese to conquer the supply line (the Kokoda Trail) in order to take over Port Morseby, then enter Australia. It is an accurate portrayal of one of the bloodiest campaigns of WW2.

The movie so accurately portrays how vicious and callas the Japanese were in slaughtering the Australians and the Papua New Guinea natives (named the Fuzzy Wuzzy people) in their pursuit to Port Moresby. The movie allows an in site into the living conditions of the Australia soldiers and the sickness and injuries they incurred. The movie shows how the soldiers fall apart but manage to pick themselves back up and keep moving along the Kokoda trail for the sole purpose to protect it from invasion.

This is not your typical war movie. Kokoda’s moto is 'courage, mateship, endurance and sacrifice’ which best describes the film. Its not about putting soldiers on a pedestal, its not about famous actors…its about a story that will touch your heart and open your eyes.

A must see even for those, like me, who are not font of war movies.
