‘Point of No Return.’
Vincent Monton is understandably chuffed that Australians have the chance to discover – or rediscover – his telemovie Point of No Return 25 years after it premiered on Network 10.
Umbrella Entertainment released a digitally restored version of the drama written and directed by Monton, which starred Marcus Graham and Nikki Coghill, on DVD and VOD this month.
Graham played the dual roles of Grady, a former soldier who is traumatized by his experiences in war and prison, and his murdered brother Kristian.
Grady escapes from custody after attending Kristian’s funeral. Coghill is Kate, the girlfriend of the protagonist who later hooked up with his brother.
The producer, the late Phillip Emanuel, had raised the budget to make a telemovie about a prison break but was not happy with the script so he approached Monton. The offer was to write a screenplay in three weeks, which he could...

Don May Jr. of Synapse Films gave Fango the scoop about an upcoming DVD release that will warm the hearts of nature-amok fans everywhere. “In our tradition of putting out more and more Australian stuff,” he tells us, “we’re doing Dark Age, the king of the killer-croc movies!”
The 1987 Down Under production, directed by Arch Nicholson, is about a park ranger who sets out to stop the rampage of a huge, people-eating crocodile and comes into conflict with the local aborigines, who worship the reptile. John Jarratt, who dealt with a similar toothy predator in the recent Rogue, stars, along with Nikki Coghill, Max (The Road Warrior) Phipps and David (The Last Wave) Gulpilil. Highly regarded by many devotees of Aussie genre cinema (and prominently featured in Not Quite Hollywood, Mark Hartley and Magnolia Pictures’ upcoming documentary on the subject), Dark Age never received U.S. big-screen play, and...
