I just tried to have a look but can't work out where they are in the program (are they under documentaries or somewhere else?).

Do they include "Art in the Soviet Era: Making a violin from rusted, recycled tractor parts"?

Oh, and I'm watching a pornographic film in 3D at Hoyts tonight!

It's directed by Gasper Noe. The opening credits to his last film were worth the price of admission alone (don't watch if you're susceptible to epilectic seizures!):

Hmm well I was a little perturbed by the baby on the vacuum cleaner when I clicked the link! But that was more interesting than the -credits?? Where's the preview action? I was hoping to convince hubby we need a nice big



3D screen!

Keep your eyes open during the money shot and see who in the audience:
a) ducks
b)closes their eyes and turns away
c) opens their mouth.

Bonus points for anyone who exits the movie with a "Something about Mary" hairstyle

:P
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

If that's your thing I'm sure other cinemas in Melbourne can provide you with a virtual reality experience of the film.

It Follows

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/it_follows/

Pretty good suspense/horror film heavily inspired by the last decent era of horror in the 70s/80s. I fell completely out of love with the genre thanks to all the goreporn like Saw and Hostel or the chuck worthy gross horror like The Human Centipede. Returning to tension, uneasiness and buildup based on your own mind rather than smashing your face in a dumpster of dirty syringes make It Follows the first decent horror movie I've seen in decades.

4 Stars.

Ken Burns's doco series: The Civil War. One more episode to go. Saw bits of it in 1990? & this series brought him to fame (so to speak). Fascinating, absorbing & brilliantly done:

From Wiki:

"...Burns is the recipient of more than 20 honorary degrees.[citation needed]

The Civil War has received more than 40 major film and television awards,[citation needed] including two Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, the Producer of the Year Award from the Producers Guild of America, a People's Choice Award, a Peabody Award, a duPont-Columbia Award, a D. W. Griffith Award, and the $50,000 Lincoln Prize...."

Didn't win the Brownlow or the Copeland though.
