Yoda and I went to the flicks last weekend. It was a primarily forgettable film – Hot Tub Time Machine – but it was okay. People have been complaining about the prices they pay for food and drink at cinemas for years. But last weekend I experienced the ultimate rip off from Hoyts Cinema. Whatever [...]
Ticked off Trannies with Knives: Transploitation
Oh this looks fabulous….I can’t want to see it. Trannies fight back!!! A group of transgender women are violently beaten and left for dead. After regaining their consciousness the violated vixens turn deadly divas and with their new-found confidence and courage, slice their way to vengeance. “Excuse me, am I in your way?” “”No” “”Well [...]
Blown away by “A Single Man”
Yoda and I went to see “A Single Man” yesterday. It’s been a weekend of movies actually – we also saw “Up In The Air” today which we both liked. But it was “A Single Man” which really blew us away and which continued to stay with us long after we left the cinema. I [...]
Older n Last Time – a little movie gem from Aussie-land
There’s still one good thing about the very tarnished Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras – and that’s the Film Festival put on by Queer Screen. As usual, this year I’d circled about 10 movies I wanted to see at the festival. And, as usual, session times, logistics and vagueness on my part saw me [...]
The Dugites….Waiting
Sometimes I just have to face up to it…I don’t agree with a lot of people a lot of the time. Rather than wimp out and change my opinion to something more “acceptable”, I’d rather just be true to myself. And such is the case with this song. The Dugites “Waiting” (seen below from 1981). [...]
I must see this movie or I will start shooting people
The program for the 2010 Mardi Gras Film festival has been released. With trailers. I have just seen the trailer and synposis for “Older n’ Last Time.” I simply must see it immediately. I must have tickets immediately. No doubt Yoda will pfaff-pfaff about which movies he wants to see but I MUST see this [...]
There’s no-one left to fly the plane!
Just a tribute to a wonderful actress and a personal favourite of mine, the incredible Karen Black. Love you Karen!!!

I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!
This movie completely blew me away as a 16 year old in the 70s. Network. Absolutely brilliant. Today, after not having a shower for three days and having back and forth pointless telephone calls, dealing with incompetent real estate agents and electrical repair companies, I was reminded of this phrase from Network… ‘I’M AS MAD [...]
Livet är en schlager comes back to Sydney: Screw you SBS!
I am as happy as a pig in shit! I’m so happy I could just shit! I just found out that there’s a Nordic Film Festival coming up in Sydney next month. And they will be showing ‘Livet är en schlager’ also known as ‘Once in a Lifetime’ in English. This is a fabulous movie [...]
