I caught the new indie film The Rover, a kinda of Mad-Max / Road Warrior as art house film starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson (from Twilight). It’s a kind of boring movie with shockingly casual almost disinterested violence… which I think might have been the point (you know, life is not only cheap, it’s casual). I can’t really recommend it but it’s oddly stuck in my head as more interesting than it actually was watching it. Sounds like a real recommendation there…

Pattinson does some real acting here playing a slow / mentally challenged guy (his accent may be a little dodgy but it’s still a good performance). The best thing about him being in this flick is that they studio seemed to want to promote it to his fans… who would really hate this movie. So good on them for that?
