A socially awkward Hollywood impersonator is forced to find a new line of work when his successful stint as a telephone sex operator goes belly-up after the cops bust his boss for fraudulent practices. Ralph Eaton (Ross Buchanan) couldn't be more of a loser if he tried -- overweight and with a mean stutter, the only thing that he's got going for him is his uncanny talent to perfectly mimic celebrity voices. Strangely enough, it's the one thing that stops his speech impediment and ends up being his claim to fame as he works some local phone sex lines as his favorite Hollywood heroes, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Al Pacino. When the company is shut down for illegally selling customers' credit card numbers, Ralph is thrown to the street and forced to find another way to find fame and glory in the hallowed halls of Tinsel Town. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

The title of this Australian drama refers to the mating of butterflies. Shot on video and then transferred to 35mm film, the movie takes a look at life and love among the surfing set at Bondi Beach, the beach closest to Sydney and a popular mecca during the summer. Depicting Bondi's wet-and-wild lifestyles, the camera also goes into the water for spectacular surfing footage. Producer-director Lee Rogers co-scripted and also stars as Lee, who announces his plans to marry girlfriend Jo (Alana Ross), but he has no problem getting it on with old flame Roxanne (Kate Fischer). Meanwhile, Lee is thrown into a double-standard quandary upon hearing that pal Phil (Phil Ceberano) partied with Jo, so Lee gets advice from Jenna (Kate Ceberano). Australian pop vocalist Kate Ceberano is the real-life wife of Lee Rogers, and her song "Living With Lies" is part of the soundtrack. Shown at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Sex, religion, and morality are the key ingredients in this Australian comedy set in the 1930s. Rev. Anthony Campion (Hugh Grant) is a liberal, forward-thinking Anglican priest who is sent on an unusual assignment. Norman Lindsay (Sam Neill) is a popular and highly controversial artist whose paintings often feature voluptuous nude women; his latest major exhibition is to feature a work called The Crucified Venus, which depicts a naked female impaled on a cross. Outraged, the Anglican Bishop of Sydney wants Campion to visit Lindsay and persuade him to remove the work from his show. Rev. Campion and his wife, Estella (Tara Fitzgerald), travel to Lindsay's Blue Mountain estate, where the artist is hard at work with a bevy of lovely nude models in tow, including Sheela (Elle MacPherson), Giddy (Portia de Rossi), and Pru (Kate Fischer). The Reverend is quietly appalled by the open sensuality of Lindsay's household, and Estella is mortified; they're even more upset when Lindsay calmly but firmly refuses to remove The Crucified Venus from his show. However, the longer the Campions stay with Lindsay in hopes of changing his mind, the more they find themselves drawn into the sensuous pleasures of his world. Sirens was based on an actual incident and Norman Lindsay was a real artist of the period (his life was depicted in the film Age of Consent, in which he was played by James Mason). But audiences were probably less interested in art and cultural history than in the opportunity to see supermodel Elle MacPherson appear undraped; she also gives a fine and charming comic performance, as do Hugh Grant and Tara Fitzgerald. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
