Movie Review

Sunday, Bloody SundaySunday, Bloody Sunday

Starring James Nesbitt, Tim Pigott-Smith, Nicholas Farrell and Gerard McSorley. Rated MA.
Reviewer :: The Big Irish Git

There are probably few people in this, or any other country in the world who haven’t heard or even sang along with Bono as he belts out the words, “How long, how long must we sing this song? ... Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday”.

Reviewer :: Cpl Mark Eaton

If you’re a big fan of comic book heroes then Spiderman is a must see.
Hold the bus, the WebCrawler is back! Toby McGuire plays Peter Parker in a tale brought to life from the pages of a comic book.

Reviewer :: Ben Caddaye

Every now and then a movie creeps up on you and takes you by surprise.
Highway, a straight-to-video production which has received little hype, is one of those movies.

 
Book review

Lost SubsLost Subs
Tales from beneath the sea.
By Spencer Dunmore, Allen and Unwin, 176 pages, $49.95
.
Reviewer ::
LS Rachel Irving

The tragic loss of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in 2000 highlighted the dangers and perils submariners around the world face.

Lying beneath the world’s oceans are the hulls of more than a century of subs telling tales that have mapped history.

Lost Subs chronicles the fate of famous naval subs, including the US Confederate Army’s Hunley and Australia’s AE2.

The book covers the final moments aboard the Kursk, the birth of the submarine with the Turtle and the Hunley, the U-boats, the Cold War and more. Lost Subs is filled with amazing underwater imagery and allows the reader to explore these fascinating undersea tales.

The book is easy reading with some powerful and gripping text, but it is the photographs that will capture the imagination of many.

Lost Subs is a highly recommended read.
