On-line but not on-air *sniff*
So today’s Unhindered By Talent on KUMM made it into the wider world on-line but the technology between us and the transmitter appears to be broken so no one in these parts can hear us, darn it. Drat. That poor … Continue reading

Marie Antoinette
Beautiful. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see this on the big screen as visually this movie was quite stunning. I also think it has a lot to say about self-deceit and the ability humans have to distract themselves from … Continue reading

Public Enemies
Watchable. I will always go and see a Michael Mann movie because you know there is a brain at work behind the camera and even when he fails he still manages to produce better movies than most of the crap … Continue reading

Twilight
Enjoyable. Not to be taken as good model for adolescent female behaviour however. It certainly doesn’t stand up to an serious feminist examination but as a fantasy it’s quite fun. The specially effects are pretty awful which is a surprise … Continue reading

The Soloist
Good. Well worth the price of the ticket. Surprisingly, not as mawkish as I was expecting and there’s some quite pointed tweaks at inappropriate white-guilt behaviour. Also a more interesting exploration of mental illness and the catastrophic effects on the … Continue reading

Deja Vu for the millionth time, Oz style
So an Oz male blogger by the name of Possum Comitatus asks the perennial question, “Where are all the wimmez?” on the political blog Pollytics. Not a very original question you’ve got to admit and, um, a little baffling from … Continue reading

People as Art
So the current “sculpture” being exhibited on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square is by Antony Gormley of Angel of the North fame. 2400 people will each get to spend an hour on top of the plinth doing, basically, whatever … Continue reading

The Ugly Truth
Ugly. Make that very very ugly. This movie combines the absolute worst inclinations of adolescent-boy movies with the tritest of chickflick moments. It was so disappointing especially give the two leads who clearly have great chemistry if only the script … Continue reading

My Sister’s Keeper
Tearjerker. Definitely a two tissue box movie. A real roller coaster of emotion from sweet happy uplifting moments to heart-ringing lows. A lot better than it deserves to be though missing a certain something that would raise it’s value as … Continue reading
