Clone wars movie not that bad


Yeah it looks tacky but, while no masterpiece, this is still a lot more enjoyable than the last three SW movies – in fact it is almost a return to the spirit of the first two Star Wars flicks ever, yeah i mean the original and Empire Strikes Back. Perhaps the absence of Lucas is what helps here – the writing is fresher, and actually has laughs. The story moves along well, there is kick-ass action and the characters, tho animated, seem a hell of a lot more natural than the real life versions of the past three movies.

Perhaps Clone War's connection to TV has also helped it get a bit more with the times.

I would recommend this movie to all die-hard Wars fans (I am one)– especially to those disillusioned by Phantom Menace and its sequels. This small movie breathes new life into the series. Ironic isn't it?

Obama portrait

There def appears to be a lot of people out there - including artists - who are digging Obama and placing a bit of hope in him. I seem to be seeing more portraits of him all the time.

Salut! Baroque performance, 13 August, Sydney




(pictured - Handel)

You can't really do wrong with Baroque Music, especially if you are feeling jaded. As soon as it starts you are won over, no matter what your mood is - the urbane elegance, the sophisticated melancholy, the wit of its endless experiments, is quite simply better than anything you can throw back at it. The music is like a supremely indifferent vampire, or Duchess, casually self assured no matter the era or the generation.

This performance - including music by Handel, Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Caldara and Albinoni, performed by a troupe of experienced and talented players led by artistic directors Sally Melhuish and Tim Blomfield at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, was a pleasure.
