...speak in iambic pentameter (and play air guitar) as a disillusioned English politician in Yes. The piquant mix is typically Sam Neill. But as the closeted gay Sydney crime lord in the new Australian film Little Fish, his finish is almost unrecognizable. There's nothing remotely respectable about Bradley "The Jockey" Thompson, a character so crooked he seems straight. As the former lover of Hugo Weaving's ex-AFL footballer junky (in turn the confidant of a strung-out video-store proprietress played by Cate Blanchett) he's the toxic puppeteer of Rowan Woods' eye-opening Cabramatta-set crime thriller...

But what waits at the end of the rainbow is the inevitable, magical, golden love for both of the crashers…Or does it? Yes, yes it does...
...Wedding Singer and Old School. It glamorizes the men's predation by making them charmers who have a great time, and give one too: at receptions Jeremy makes balloon animals for the kids, John schmoozes with the seniors. It conjures up a convenient villain in Claire's boyfriend Sach (Bradley Cooper), a shark-faced sociopath who fools everyone in the family but no one in the audience. It offers the dream of creative fraudulence and the payoff of a frog kissing a princess, if he can only find the right mix of lies and lust. And in the performances...
