    Also saw Blue Jasmine last week, Woody Allen's latest one. Was excellent and Cate Blanchett will be hard done by if she doesn't get an Oscar nomination.

    I reckon she'll romp it home. Allen's leading ladies usually do alright come nomination time anyway.

    Never been a big fan of his but not seen alot of his stuff either. Is there a movie worth watching that really shows his talents?

    They all show his talents... What's Up Tiger Lilly (his first?) - he acquired the rights to a Japanese gangster flick and dubbed his own dialogue over it. Sleeper is a great film with a screamingly funny Jewish tailor robot. Bananas, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Small Time Crooks, Manhattan etc etc... they are all good and each quite different. One of my favourites though, a black and white mystery with Mia Farrow and John Malkovich, Shadows and Fog... great.

    If you like "dark" movies check out Bronson. Bit of an intense little flick about an English prisoner who has been in solitary for if I recall close to 20 years.

    Just watched Spartacus (as mentioned above) last night.

    It was not as good as the first two seasons.

    Saw 'Frances Ha' last night at the Nova in Carlton, pretty good! Not usually a fan of black and white films but this one was done pretty well.

    Bit of a chick flick but I was with the mrs, so it's slightly more acceptable...

    That's the one, it was surprisingly good. Pretty different from anything else I've seen.

    And it's the girlfriend, won't be married for a while yet!

    Oh then you would have got heaps of bonus points with the GF then.

    The Trailer looks good for a black and white show.

    Love B&W when it's used well... Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Sin City (apart from the odd splash of colour), The Man Who Wasn't There, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and so on... and of course all of those early films such as Wages of Fear, Cape Fear, Casablanca, Psycho and many many more...plus one particularly good psychological thriller The Snake Pit.

    Some classic titles in there, must admit I haven't seen very many of them. Not usually a fan of black and white as it seems to test my attention span but maybe I've finally matured!

    Annie Hall takes the cake for me, although I also have a soft spot for Take the Money and Run.

    I'm currently re-reading The Complete Prose of Woody Allen, which takes in Without Feathers, Getting Even and Side Effects.

    If you're a Woody Allen fan, it's well worth a read. I actually find his writing funnier than his movies - as one reviewer notes on the blurb of this collection: "No 500-page book ever contained a laugh a line, but this one goes pretty close."

    LOL there was something missing in the movie so I never actually watch the end of it!

    I was the same until I saw 'Hannah & Her Sisters'. I didn't get 'Annie Hall' the first two times I watched it. Wasn't for me. Haven't re-watched it since, but Hannah is just a brilliant film. 'Husbands & Wives' is the other classic. 'Love & Death' is awesome. 'Interiors' is dramatic, but if you like Bergman (as I do), you'll love it.

    Got 'What's Up Tiger Lilly' the other day. Will probably watch it over the weekend. I concur in a sense RE: the uniqueness. Particularly true of his early films. Whereas, films like 'Manhattan' and 'Husbands & Wives' carry strong similarities (falling for a woman that are way too young for the male character) and he's pretty much always divorcing someone or being divorced. 'Shadows & Fog' is a great little homage, but I found it a little dull and I'm a big fan of German Expressionism. 'Sleeper' is amazing though.

    I like it, but I actually think we did it better with 'Chopper'. It has more style than 'Chopper' though. Very much trying to channel something out of Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange'.

    'Frances Ha' is a bizarre film. The first half is like a poorly acted, scripted and shot student film. The second half brings into focus the neurotic, self-important mutterings of its middle/upper class director. It reminded me of a poorer version of GIRLS, which I find has similar flaws. "Oh, it's so tough being a middle class white kid. How ever will I afford my $4,000 per week apartment? Don't live there then, [censored]." :P End rant.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
