Super on DVD

January 16th 2012 13:52
: Giveaway...
On DVD now, I'm not sure it made it onto the screen here in Adelaide but I suspect it did some business in the eastern states.

Super is a film by James Gunn starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page along with Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon. It's a very good cast to start with, and the subject is fascinating and quite amusing

Michael Kirby - A private life

September 19th 2011 06:59
: RRP $35.00
The life of Australia's longest serving judge is already well documented, but as the author states himself his publishers thought it would be meeting a demand for him to write in his own voice some fragments of memory; and those publishers were quite correct in their thinking.

The difference between reading about a person of great interest, and reading their own words discussing various moments in time is quite enormous. I have had the great honour of eating luncheon with Michael Kirby, and interviewing him on community radio. There is always a difference between the person and the legend regardless of the actual position the person fills, be it David Williamson, Anna Volska, Kate Fitzpatrick or the High Court's Justice Michael Kirby. Simply reading about Kirby's thinking behind revealing his long term same sex relationship with an assembly of Judges in Zambia who look upon homosexuality as immoral is fascinating and reveals far more about the man than you may imagine

: Review by David Jobling
The Pocket Encyclopaedia of Healing Touch TherapiesSkye Alexander and Anne Schnider

There are a great deal of ways you can avoid getting pains and aches, but when you have them there are only so many things you can do for comfort. Those who wish to try other alternatives to the pain-killer pill will find this book useful. Those who are out there studying or doing these things, this is genuinely a little gem

Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention

It is a very natural fit for those loveable characters who made cheese and sheep so popular, Wallace and Gromit, to move into infotainment.
