Movie Review

Not artful enough
Mona Lisa Smile
Stars Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Reviewer :: Lt Simone Heyer

Julia Roberts seems a magnet to light-hearted chick flicks. I'll confess being mildly interested in seeing Mona Lisa Smile but it was only because Sin Eater wasn't being shown in Canberra - that's right, not at all - that I saw it.

 
On Video/DVD

Lightweight film fails to travel in style
Travelling Light
Stars Pia Miranda, Brett Stiller, Sacha Horler. Rated M. Magna Pacific
Reviewer :: Lt Simone Heyer

During some films, you find yourself wondering what they're about, where the plot is going and why you haven't flicked it off.

To room inspections
So you've woken up on the morning of a room inspection with half an hour to spare, a two-foot-deep layer of beer bottles on the floor and the CO's car on its roof next to your bed.

Don't panic; a bit of quick thinking can get you out of this mess unscathed.

You know what you need - you need a diversion - some kind of big, inspection-ending diversion that'll keep the spotlight pointed in the opposite direction long enough for you to return everything to normal.

Now, we all know mateship is the most important thing and you should never forget that, but this is life and death and someone has to take the fall - you're going to have to plant something incriminating in your mate's room. When I say "something incriminating" I don't mean a few jack kit items or some minor contraband; I mean Osama bin Laden, or the RSM's daughter maybe, if Mr bin Laden isn't close to hand.

You know the kind of thing I'm talking about so use your imagination and remember - your mate would do the same thing to you if he were in a tight spot.
