The Wind That Shakes The Barley
In June of 1922, Ireland erupted into civil war. Accounts of the situation since have been occupied by tip-toes through the roses and clover or zealous finger pointing. In The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Ken Loach explores the lead up to this devastating point in history;what could have been a tipping point to freedom but became a point ofno return.
Flint McQueen sunglasses
There’s no disputing that Steve McQueen is ‘The King of Cool’. But just what made the man? Some say it was his voice, some say his style, but those in the know say it was his sunglasses.
Inspired by the gallant men of the past, with a pair of McQueens you too can be cool (by association).
Clerks II
When Clerk shit screens in 1994, ThreeThousand was going through puberty. Life was awkward, cheap and swearing in public was hilarious. Back then Clerks was the perfect accompaniment to our juvenile irreverence. Now don’tget ahead of us. We’re not trying to suggest that juvenility or irreverence don’t hold our hands through day-to-day encounters anymore.
United 93
Hollywood is clearly cashing in on terrorist-induced, media-enhanced paranoia with upcoming cockbuster World Trade Centre. Soon, we’ll be able to get our 9-Eleven fix at the multiplex the way we get our 7-Eleven slurpie at the mall.
Until then there’s a small, cynicism-free window in which to catch United 93 from British filmmaker Paul Greengrass (Bloody Sunday).
Breakfast on Pluto
After four years off to write a novel, Neil Jordan has come out of the study to bring Breakfast on Pluto out of the closet. Adapted from Patrick McCabe’s novel of the same name, Breakfast on Pluto is the story of Patrick ‘Kitten’ Murphy; a cross-dressing quasi-ingénue and would be dux of theschool of hard knocks.
C.R.A.Z.Y
Like the crackle of a spinning 7” record, C.R.A.Z.Y is a film thick with the sound, sights and signifiers of eras past, whenMarlborough Lights were good for you and flares were cut sharp.
Jean-Marc Vallee’s C.R.A.Z.Ytravelsthrough the fashion-faux-pas splattered 60s and 70s following the highs, lows and Bowie-obsession of Zac Beaulieu (Marc-Andre Grondin).
Aesop
Melbourne brand Aesop have been saving face for almost 20 years, minus the crap chat that’s often packed into the jars of other beauty brands.
Targeting everything from shaving rash to dry hands, Aesop’s ingredients like black pepper, rose otto and parsley seed sound good enough to eat, but they work better on your skin.
