Could I be any more excited for Happy Feet? The answer is yes. If they were releasing it in Australia at the same time as the US. Lest we forget that this is actually an Australian co-production (just like Moulin Rouge!, which we got before the states) so I don't know why they're with-holding it from us until Boxing Day. Thanks a bunch.

Although, thanks to my friend Simon, I now know that Lars Von Trier's Manderlay is finally being released here in a week or so. Of course, it's probably shithouse, but 'tev. At least we're getting it, unlike the following titles which, according to Movie Marshall, don't even have distribution for Australia (theatrical or direct-to-video).

Akeela and the Bee
An American Haunting
Bubble
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Down in the Valley
Find me Guilty
Mini's First Time
Shadowboxer
Sherrybaby
The Baxter
The Merchant of Venice
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
Wassup Rockers

and there's plenty more where they came from.
