Description:
Anvil! The Story of Anvil is about a group of young men who swore to stick together and make badass metal until the end of their days. So is the Metallica doco Some Kind of Monster. Guess which ones you'd gladly buy a round of screwdrivers for? Not Lars Ulrich, that's for sure. A cautionary, or perhaps visionary tale of not knowing when to quit, the film has boosted Anvil's profile to the point where they are recording a new album and are supporting AC/DC on their current tour.

Three Blind Mice
Three Blind Mice follows three Royal Australian Navy officers on one night's shore leave. Despite John Foreman's jazzy score, On The Town this ain't. Harry (Matthew Newton) is their fast-talking, whore-booking leader. Dean (Toby Schmitz) wants to have dinner with his fiancée (Pia Miranda) and her parents.
A Film With Me In It
Not far into this Irish black comedy, I began actively wishing bad stuff upon its protagonist. Luckily, there's plenty of that. Mark (Mark Doherty) is a failed actor, amateur clarinettist and general atomic wimp. He lacks even the drunk-and-disorderly charm of his equally hopeless best friend Pierce (Dylan Moran), a wannabe screenwriter.

Description:
Plenty of your friends are going to go on and on about this film. They'll tell you it changed their lives. That it's Charlie Kaufman's masterwork, blah blah blah. God it will be tiresome. Here's how to shut them up. Tell them that it's Kaufman's ode to the dead philosophy of existentialism.

Let The Right One In
Scripted by John Ajvide Lindqvist from his novel, Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In is a subtly poignant vampire story that's all the more masterful when juxtaposed with patronising crap like Twilight. Set in a grim Swedish winter, it's gorgeously, disturbingly shot in snow and shadow, as if Bill Henson were the cinematographer on Edward Scissorhands.

Cinema Nova
While the term ‘Arthouse Cinema' might evoke a quaint little building showing three films a day*, Cinema Nova takes the term, eats it, spits out, injects its comatose body with horse steroids and opens it for the public.
With more than ten viewing rooms, and very comfortable seats, Nova manages to catch a huge of amount of obscure celluloid wonders in its net; though it's also been known to show Harry Potter.
