I watched a new release DVD the other night; shock upon shock. Not one I’d incidentally come across on the TV– no an honest to God I-am-making-the-time-to-sit-and-watch-this-end-to-end. The last one was The World’s Fastest Indian. This one was An Inconvenient Truth.

I don’t mind listening to death-knells of rats. It’s […]

This photo was taken during the campaign for our last Federal election - and also whilst the film “Alien vs Predator” was in general release.
