Occupation and Resistance - Photos from Palestine

A family waits at the gate in the wall separating them from their agricultural land.

Took a break from clear-cutting images at work to view this exhibition today - one of the joys of working on Cuba Street, you're right in the thick of everything.
I find it difficult to stay neutral on this issue when clearly there is a type of apartheid happening in Palestine. However, there are always two sides to every story.
Be quick - this exhibition is only on until Sunday.

Dogs in Space

Re-release of one of my favourite movies. Filmed in 1986, yet just as exciting and controversial today. Fantastic soundtrack, great costumes, gorgeous actors, poignant story - lets not forget this is how many of us in Australia and New Zealand lived at that time. Spent a few hours in the weekend reliving my misspent youth. The special features add a new dimension too.
Buy it here, listen here (with movie stills), watch here and here, and trailer here.

500 days of Summer

***
It’s been a crazy busy couple of weeks. Hardly have had a moment to myself.
Needed a fluffy movie in the weekend, and 500 Days of Summer was perfect.
Summer wore the most gorgeous clothes - I’ve chosen a couple of pix of my favourite frock.

Samson and Delilah

A truly thought provoking film
**** 1/2

District 9

Another great movie, completely different from the last one I recommended but also worthy of

Awesome website too.
