SUMMER CITY(a.k.a. Coast Of Terror)1976-Avalon Films

"....an abomination. A cheap, nasty flick that was cranked out in three weeks."-Mel Gibson

Cast: John Jarrat(Sandy),Phil Avalon(Robbie),Steve Bisley(Boo),Mel Gibson(Scollop),Debbie Foreman(Caroline)

Summary: Four lads head to the coast to enjoy a wild weekend of surfing and boozing and to give one of their group, the soon-to-be-married Sandy, one last fling before he ties the knot.

When the lads attend a dance near the place where they're lodging, Sandy stays behind to read a book. Sandy is scornful of Boo, a terrible womanizer, and always try's to get him to settle with one woman. Sandy's sermonizing reaches it's peak when Boo seduces the local virgin, Caroline, then dumps her. Caroline confines to Sandy who advises her to tell her dad, which she does. When her old man finds out, he goes bezerk, grabs a gun, and goes after Boo. Then Sandy learns that Boo bedded his fianc'ee on the eve of their wild weekend, and decides to shoot Boo too. To find out what happens, ya gotta see it, but I don't really reccomend it.

The pursued is Nightrider, a stoned-out member of the Glory-Riders gang, headed by a sadistic motorcyclist named Toecutter. After the initial chase scene, the film slows down a bit to get us more aquainted with Max, his family, and best friend, fellow Interceptor, Jim Goose.

When Goose is killed by the Gloryriders, Max get's scared and resigns from the force. Max now spend all of his time with his wife, Jessie, and his son, until the Gloryriders run them down, and Max is spiraled into a state of rage. Dressed in his Interceptor leather, Max goes out to pursue the Gloryriders, and to kill them one by one for what they did.

"It's got a lot of rough edges. But it was made with a lot of heart."-Mel Gibson

Summary: Tim, a 24 year old mentally retarded man, is hired by business woman, Mary Horton, to work her garden after her gardner injures his back. Mary, an American who relocated to Australia 20 years earlier, is used to the business life, not the "social-romantic life", until she meets Tim.

Mary soon becomes charmed by Tim's boyish manners. Mary soon becomes Tim's guide through life, and best friend. She guides him through his question's of death and relations, and her feelings for Tim deepens. After Tim's sister get's married, and his mother dies, his father looks to Mary for support, and Tim feels non-loved. But, Mary, realizing that she needs Tim, and Tim needs her,decides to marry him. Dawnie, Tim's sister is outraged because Mary has "stolen" her little brother away from her, but, after Tim's father dies, Tim begs her to love Mary, because she has been there for him. It's a great movie, I reccomend it.
