Mad Max 24 Dec 99

Not a new film, of course, but a new soundtrack, for us: the original Aussie dialog and not the dubbed version we've seen (heard) all these years. It nearly made it feel like a new film. I was reminded while watching it, though, that this first film is but a indie gem in the rough, and it can't help but suffer when inevitably compared to the masterpiece sequel "The Road Warrior." Go see this version, but remember what it really was. B



I can remember a time when where we went to the movies was just as important as the movies we went to see .... From the moment moviegoers arrived to buy their tickets, there was a sense of something special, a feeling that to step inside was to enter another time and place. - Gene Kelly
