DVD Review: Cutie Honey
Don’t be fooled by the front cover boast: “Starring ERIKO SATO (Japan’s top swimsuit model)”, as this film is much more than just a perve-fest. What I mean is, Sato’s lovely derriere is only one of the film’s many visual delights. Cutie Honey (Eriko Sato) is the heroic, alter-ego of a lowly office worker, Honey Kisaragi. What her colleagues don’t realise is that Cutie Honey is an android replica of Professor Kisaragi’s deceased daughter (ala Astro Boy). The film opens with Cutie Honey finding out that her Uncle has been kidnapped and she runs to his rescue.

 The future of Australian film is here and it is in ultra-low budget filmmaking! Now that I have gotten my grand opening statement out of the way we can proceed. Kriv Stenders’ Blacktown takes place in the western Sydney suburb that lends the film its title. The suburb gained its official name from the colloquial term for it as it began as a settlement for Aboriginal education. The story is about two people and the love they find in one another.
