"Baz, you know that last act that you worked so hard on and thought would be the perfect way to end it?"

"You mean the segment featuring the Japanese bombing of the Northern Territory - that hugely important cultural event that was such a powerful event in the lives of the people we're portraying here, and ultimately shaped our nation? The segment we spent 3 months shooting, sweat blood and tears over and spent millions on."

We're back

Apologies for a total lack of posts over the last 2 weeks. I have been sunning it up in Mexico and my colleague was obviously having fun in England, which I returned to Saturday, but it felt like I'd landed somewhere more like the picture above.

Loads for me to catch up on asap - I have seen and will review:

Twlight (surprisingly good)

The Reader (surprisingly bad)

Lakeview Terrace (somewhere in between)

and am seeing Australia later, although I approach with trepidation after mixed reviews, and I pledge to see Che and Slumdog Millionaire by the weekend. Reviews forthcoming.
