Favourite Film Faces #4: Mel Gibson as Mad Max

If you have listened to the most recent podcast, you will know that Sarah and I were both unimpressed with our first viewing of George Millers 'Mad Max'. The sequence we play a clip of is the montage of Max, his wife and child playing around after Max has just quit the police. He is happy - happy enough to play Tarzan.

I think he is a plonker. Hence this weeks favourite film face - Gibson as a plonker.

The Simon and Jo Film Show: 04/07/2010

This week, we fail in comparison to the recent releases in the US - No Toy Story 3, no A-Team, no Karate Kid or Last Airbender. We have got Shrek 4... just, but alas, the Shrek franchise means nothing to us.

Instead, Jo managed to watch the recent release from France: Heartbreaker - aka, L'amacoeur - directed by Pascal Chaumeil and starring Johnny Depp's missus Vanessa Paradis and Romain Duris as the heartbreaker.

We then discuss the London Box-Office and the new releases before moving onto the final 'chunk' whereby Jo has finally managed to watch Michael Winterbottoms 'The Killer Inside Me' and Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' while Simon and Sarah have watched George Miller's 'Mad Max'.
