AN INDIAN CELEBRITY IN ENGLAND She was in the world of films. For how long, one wouldn’t know without some research ! She is reasonably pretty, but prettiness isn’t the only criterion to get a role in a film. Indian cinema is a highly competitive business and one can’t enter into it like you walk into a room. |

Duran Duran’s pop Massacre Back in an era style forgot, when leg warmers, puffball skirts and crimped hair were the height of fashion, one band were plastered on every teenage girl’s bedroom wall and held warmly in the hearts of housewives everywhere. |

Poor Poor Paris Paris Hilton going to jail. I love it. It could be a movie. It could be a comedy, horror, cult classic, or even a porn. Can you imagine a prison rape scene with Paris? Three big girls get tiny little Paris and have their way with her. I wonder what Paris is going to look like in a jumpsuit. |

When People Suck Yes, we know everyone at some time of their life usually pisses you off. People do shitty things, are two-faced, look out for themselves and hurt other people in the process, and we could go on and on and on. |

Five years on film Critics would point out glaring discrepencies in the script. The continuity editor would be sacked, never to work again in the industry. Never mind that the actors too seem to be a bit wooden. When they speak their dialogue, it simply doesn't ring true. Indeed, if the real life events played out on the world stage post nine-eleven were a motion picture, then the film would be a stinker, to be sure. |

Circumnavigating an Insane Planet Say what you will about traveling light, it is a sound theory, and one which I usually adhere to, but if you happen to be on an around the world journey, traveling lets say, from Perth on the West Coast of Australia to the United Kingdom up into northern Scotland, then flying across the Atlantic to Toronto and from there down to San Francisco, over to Sydney and finally back home to Perth again, as my wife and I did last year, you will no doubt find that the notion of traveling light is simply not a feasible plan. |

Superman in the movies Since his first appearance in the comic books in 1938, our planet’s most amazing fictional illegal alien has managed to keep our rapt attention. Variously known as “The Man of Steel”, “The Man of Tomorrow” , “SUPERMAN” and “Clark Kent”, the fellow with the blue hair with the kiss-curl who gets about faster than a speeding bullet in red panties and blue leotards is probably more popular nowadays than he was when first conceived. |

Movie review: Little Fish Cate is a suburban hero, Hugo a fallen hero in this gritty Aussie drama. I wish there was a word in the English language that would accurately describe the performances in Little Fish.

Masterpiece Cinema - Brazil With the recent release (and disappointing performance) of Terry Gilliam’s The Brothers Grimm, I thought it’d be a good idea to take a look at one of Gilliam’s earlier efforts… |

Masterpiece Cinema Classic - 25th Hour Hey, everyone. With life kind of treating me like a punching bag at the moment, I've been fairly slack with my Cheers-related journalistic endeavours. I hope you don't mind if, for this week, we take a look back at a Masterpiece Cinema classic column. Thanks, guys. |

Masterpiece Cinema - Red Dwarf Hi, everyone. Once again, we’re going to take a look at a television series rather than a film. Which television series? Glad you asked… |

The Oz Journals - Entry Two Killer animals, foreign royal families, honest politicians and strange spellings - the magical Land of Oz, as in 'Australia', is proving to be a very strange place indeed for ex-pat Canadian Tom Nicholson. |
