Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Tom Hardy looks nothing like Mel Gibson?

An Afrikaaner Furiosa would've been a tough sell.

Yeah that's true, but this is still the same character. They could've at least tried. Her hair colour wasn't even the same. So was that his daughter that he kept on seeing? It really wasn't explained very well as to who that was.

No ways, it would have been awesome! At the very least it should have been an Australian accent. The American one was really out of place.

Except that it was his son that died in the first movie. He didn't have a daughter, I got a bit confused earlier. I just skimmed through it now to check. That's definitely a boy, not a girl in the first movie.

EDIT: They're doing a comic to explain who she is. Her name is Glory.

That Sugar Film (2014) 7/10

Essentially a more interesting Aussie version of Super Size Me that substitutes the McD's with sugar. interesting & informative.

Not precisely true (the picture anyway)...the film was interesting because he ate foods designed to be healthy according to perceptions that fat is the problem i.e. low fat things with sugar added.

The twist is that Gameau didn’t splurge on sloppy nosh such as cheeseburgers, chips and sundaes – in other words food everybody knows is bad for you. Gameau consumed the typical Australian’s 40 teaspoons of sugar a day, maintained exercise, the same kilojoule intake of his regular diet and – the clincher – only ate foods perceived to be healthy. This includes cereal, smoothies, muesli bars and low-fat yoghurt. The kind of products at the heart of advertising campaigns built on extolling their supposed virtues, using faux science and deceptive packaging.

Boy A (2007) 8/10

Fantastic movie, best acting from Andrew Garfield, a must watch. The accents was a bit heavy though.
 
Mortdecai (2015) 6/10

Not sure on the appeal of this one; not a big Johnny Depp fan so that could be it. Gwyneth Paltrow looking as radiant as always.
 
Mr.Nice (2010) - 7.5/10

The life story of Howard Marks, an elite British drug smuggler.
 
Black or White (2014) 7/10

"A grieving widower is drawn into a custody battle over his granddaughter, whom he helped raise her entire life." Good story & another solid performance from Kevin Costner.
 
The Longest Ride (2015) 7/10

"The lives of a young couple intertwine with a much older man, as he reflects back on a past love." Surprisingly good; way more depth & substance than other romcoms.
