Kangaroo Jack

Kangaroo Jack, about two buddies who chase a kangaroo across the Australian outback, isn’t half as stupid as it looks – which is to say it just barely escaped my list of the worst movies of 2003. I would say some moments – namely those of the kangaroo watching his pursuers (Jerry O’Connell and Anthony Anderson) fumble their way through the wilderness – echo the smug bemusement of a Bugs Bunny short, but that still would be an insult to Bugs.

Two Minutes Late (1952)

Drama Rated NR

“… aims to be a big-screen version of a lurid pulp crime novel.”

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”
