The Hippopotamus 2017
1h 29min | Comedy | 28 May 2017 (UK)
Storyline:
A country manor mystery that’s actually a deliciously wicked comedy of manners, The Hippopotamus is a rollicking adaptation of the best-selling novel by Stephen Fry. It centers on a lapsed poet, failed drama critic, redundant husband and hard-working drunk, Ted Wallace (the mellifluously voiced Roger Allam in a rare starring role). Fired from his newspaper job, Ted leaps at the chance to drown his sorrows at his old friend’s country estate, Swafford Hall. A series of spiritual healings have recently put the household in a tizzy. The purported miracle worker is his hosts’ teenage son, Ted’s godson, David (Tommy Knight). Lord and Lady Logan are set on sharing their boy’s “gift” with the world, blissfully unaware that his “laying on of hands” trick involves, well, an emphasis on “laying.” At odds with a colorful party of fellow guests only too ready to swallow anything they’re told, Ted sets out to prove the miracles are a hoax and save the young man from a lifetime of embarrassment.
Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together 2006
Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together 2006
46min | Documentary, Biography, Romance | 19 July 2006 (Australia)
User review:
Neither documentary nor porn, this unscripted movie falls with a thud between. Damon and Hunter are two nice but inarticulate well-hung young men who’ve done some porn and are now in a relationship. They talk to the camera about those and coming out, saying “Y’know” a lot. There is no background, just the talking heads. Occasional flashes of them having sex grow longer and longer, culminating in the full event, which is badly lit and shot and pretty much unedited (being authentic). They would have dealt with that part much better with voice-overs (at the price of de-eroticising it completely), if they were really trying to convey what it meant to them, rather than have it both ways.
