Recommendation: go see Water for Elephants
I've had a bit of mixed week with the movies. On Tuesday I went to see Something Borrowed. If you are planning on seeing this then don't bother. It was a big steaming load of shit. That message especially hit me when I leaned over to my movie [...]
Look Mum, no hands. Champagne showing off
At Melbourne Cup time the media types trot out that great big sword and have a go at opening a bottle of French champagne with it. I'm not sure what is so difficult about opening it with your hands around the cork, but for pure showmanship it goes [...]
Video games and the crime wave
Have you heard about the increase in armed robberies, school and church burning, drunken street behaviour and the endless succession of drink driving offences? Of course you have. It's everywhere. On the news, in the papers--we're in the midst of [...]

This is my weekly column from yesterday's Savvy magazine. Can't wait for the wedding tonight. I'm kicking proceedings off with a viewing of that cult classic, William & Kate: The Movie that I taped last night. I know you’re probably in [...]
Really. The Royal Wedding?
As promised I'm giving you a whole week of royal wedding stuff. Jerry Seinfeld said the other day that no one cared about the royal wedding. Jerry who? Course we care. Well I do anyway. So here's the phone company viral video of the [...]
