Movie Review

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Stars Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Adam Goldberg, Thomas Lennon and Michael Michele. Rated PG.
Reviewer: Pte Simone Heyer

A gratuitously girly film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a hilarious look at relationships and their perceived rules.

Andie Anderson (Hudson) is the how to girl with Composure magazine, Ben Barry (McConaughey) is in advertising sports products and alcohol. Their jobs lead them together and force them apart.

Reviewer: Pte Simone Heyer

This movie can only be described as an extravaganza. It is a vibrant delight to the senses – worth seeing if only for the costumes and music.

Book Review

The good citizens

Defenders of Australia:
The 3rd Australian Division, 1916-1991

By Albert Palazzo.
Australian Military History Publications, 2002. 245pp. $45.

Reviewer: John Donovan

This book is a worthwhile addition to the body of work sponsored by the Army History Unit. It covers the history of the 3rd Division, originally raised by John Monash in 1916, from its inception through vicissitudes in peace and war until its disbandment (for the third time) in 1991.
