Broken Flowers, Shopgirl, Goal and Lord of War

Over the weekend we were hoping to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, but it was sold-out, so instead we rented a bunch of movies and watched them instead.
We saw: Broken Flowers, Shopgirl, Goal and Lord of War.
Broken Flowers starred Bill Murray and featured some pretty cool music. Bill plays a guy [...]

Games Night

On Friday night my Brother Brett and his wife Lyndal came over for a games night. We had pizza, chatted and played two boardgames: Articulate and Taboo. Both games are similar in the fact that you form teams and have to describe as many words as possible to your teammate without using the [...]

There’s one quirky track called “Transformer” that at first I wasn’t too keen on, but really like it now… along [...]

Bollywood Film Festival

Last Thursday night Kristy and I went along to the opening night of Brisbane’s Bollywood Film Festival at the Dendy. There was a pre-movie party with drinks and (few) Indian nibblies.
I was amazed at the diversity of the crowd that was there. The movie that we saw was Parinteena and is based on [...]
