It seems controversy leads to awards. The two big winners at last night.s inaugural Aacta Awards were thriller feature film Snowtown and TV drama series The Slap. Both renowned for their controversial nature, the film and TV series netted four and five gongs respectively.
Snowtown, about Australian serial killer John Bunting who befriends a 16-year-old, was honoured in the Best Direction (Justin Kurzel), Best Adapted Screenplay (Shaun Grant), Best Actor (Daniel Henshall) and Best Supporting Actress (Louise Harris) categories.
The last two awards were particularly impressive as neither actor had appeared in a feature film before. While Henshall had previously acted in such shows as Out of the Blue, it was Harris. first ever acting role.
The four gongs awarded last night at the Sydney Opera House brings the film.s tally to an impressive six Aacta Awards after receiving Best Editing (Veronika Jenet Ase) and Best Sound (Frank Lipson Mpse,...

Director Stephan Elliott took the opportunity to deliver a serve to film critic Jim Schembri at the inaugural Aacta awards at the Sydney Opera House last night. Elliott bit back at Schembri’s review of A Few Best Men, which branded the film ‘unreleasable’. Despite Schembri’s review, the film opened with solid box office takings last weekend. In a lengthy rant, Elliott slammed Schembri for “personal attacks” within the review of the film as he lashed out at people unwilling to support the Australian film industry. Elliott told the audience that his tirade would be removed from Channel Nine’s delayed broadcast of the awards as producers had flagged this, along with several other categories, to be excluded prior to the show.

Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon studio Summit Entertainment's film Knowing (with Nicholas Cage, Chandler Canterbury, Rose Byrne, and Lara Robinson) will hit shelves tomorrow (July 7th, 2009). This "cataclysm-prophecy thriller" (according to The Boston Globe) will be available on both Blu-Ray and DVD. The film is one that centers around "John Koestler, a professor who deciphers a coded message with terrifyingly accurate predictions about every major world disaster. Looking to protect his family and prevent future calamities he enlists the reluctant help of Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne)...

Knowing (Summit, out on DVD and Blu-ray July 7) is audacious, ambitious, bold, fearless and occasionally fascinating. It's also uneven, erratic and implausible. But one thing it is not is boring. Director Alex Proyas' (I, Robot) film starts off in 1959 with a time capsule ceremony at a Massachusetts elementary school where one of the students, the pallid- and gloomy-faced Lucinda Embry (Lara Robinson), feverishly scribbles down a bunch of seemingly random numbers on a piece of paper and offers that as her contribution. Fifty years later, that time capsule is opened and student Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is given Lucinda's scrawl, which he shows to his father, astrophysics professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who takes a look at the paper after having a couple of drinks and comes to the conclusion that the numbers signify the date, number of deaths and Gps coordinates of different disastrous events that have occurred...

Is the universe deterministic, or random? Not the first question you'd expect to hear in a thriller, even a great one. But to hear this question posed soon after the opening sequence of "Knowing" gave me a particular thrill. Nicolas Cage plays Koestler, a professor of astrophysics at MIT, and as he toys with a model of the solar system, he asks that question of his students. Deterministic means that if you have a complete understanding of the laws of physics, you can predict with certainty everything that will happen after (for example) the universe is created in the Big Bang. Random means you can't predict anything. "What do you think?" a student asks Koestler, who says, "I think...shit just happens."
He is soon given reason to doubt his confidence. (From this point on, there are spoilers.) "Knowing" begins 50 years ago with a classroom assignment; grade school children are...

Not since The Butterfly Effect has a movie punched across such a goofy storyline with such wholehearted conviction as Knowing. The fact that the film has you holding your breath as often as it inspires you to roll your eyes is a credit to director Alex Proyas.
Proyas has proven, with The Crow and Dark City, that he can spin spellbinding cinema when provided with strong material, and here demonstrates his ability to command some measure of attention working with a script that seriously needs its head examined. It opens in 1959, when a class full of elementary-school kids is asked to draw their visions of what life will be like 50 years hence, to be put into a time capsule which will be unearthed after that time has gone by. Instead of a rocketship or a robot, little Lucinda (Lara Robinson) covers her paper with a series of apparently random numerals; after the capsule interment ceremony,...

Knowing Directed by: Alex Proyas Written by: Ryne Pearson, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White, Stuart Hazeldine, Alex Proyas Starring: Nicolas Cage, Chandler Canterbury, Rose Byrne, Lara Robinson, Nadia Townsend Back in the late '90s, Alex Proyas was a director that had earned himself a lot of admirers. He had two dark and visually stunning cult hits under his belt with The Crow and Dark City (the latter of which Roger Ebert continues to sing the praises of to this day), before he threw everyone a curve ball and he went in a completely different direction with the rock n roll coming of age movie Garage Days. He followed that with the disappointing Will Smith action sci-fi blockbuster I, Robot. Suddenly no one knew what to think of the guy anymore. Five years later, Proyas has returned to his sci-fi/horror roots with a movie called Knowing, but with the plot...

"Knowing" reviewby Steve Ramos, Writer To the credit of filmmaker Alex Proyas and his five writers on the fantasy thriller "Knowing" it's difficult to successfully wrap a story about the cataclysmic end of the world. No matter what happens, someone will be disappointed.Based on a story by prolific author Ryne Douglas Pearson and adapted by Pearson, Proyas and three other screenwriters, "Knowing" has its share of clever mystery and creepy moments of suspense. But its unsatisfying ending, an attempt to neatly tie all loose ends via an inspirational bow, takes away much of its spooky fun. A Boston-area elementary school class draws pictures imagining their world 50 years into the future. Their work is placed in a time capsule in celebration of the 1959 dedication of their new school building. But one child, a solemn outcast named Lucinda (Lara Robinson in the first of her two roles in the film) scribbles...
