    REST FOR THE WICKED ONE- SENTENCE SUMMARY: Old cop Murray (Tony Barry) goes undercover into a retirement village in a last-ditch effort to catch the one that got away, the old crook Frank (John Bach). SHORT SYNOPSIS Murray (Tony Barry) is a retired cop with a new undercover mission. He‟s going into a retirement village to catch Frank (John Bach), the old crook he has never been able to pin a crime on. Murray is convinced Frank murdered fellow crim, Jimmy Booth, years ago but was never able to make the evidence stick. This time, he‟s going to make sure he gets his man. So, when people in the retirement village start dying, Murray is on the case. But as events go increasingly haywire, it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems with Frank. Or Murray. 1 LONG SYNOPSIS Murray (Tony Barry), an old cop in reflective mood, cuts a story from the newspaper about an explosion at a P-house. Another old man on a mobility scooter, Frank (John Bach) arrives at a run-down house, takes the drug dealers inside by surprise, guns them all down and watches gleefully as the house blows up. Murray packs his bag, gets ready to leave, his daughter Susan (Sara Wiseman) fussing over him, helping him with his tie. Susan notices Murray has left the iron turn on. Murray tells his grandson Max (George Beca) he‟s off on a top-secret mission. Max seems worried. Murray describes himself as “an old dog off to dig up some old bones.” At Knightsbridge Gardens Retirement Village, Murray and Susan are greeted by the manager, Miss Pomeroy (Elisabeth Easther).

  • Peter Britos
    PETER BRITOS A Conversation with Merata Mita This conversation took place on January 15th 2003 at about 8pm in Honolulu. We met at Merata’s home offi ce near the campus where her youngest son Hepi is fi nishing up his high school studies. Hepi met me downstairs and escorted me to his mother’s study, where Merata was working on a book about her life experiences. PB: My mother once told me that the cool thing about talking is that sometimes you don’t know a thing existed until you say it. The mere physicality of the act brings you to a place that you couldn’t have gotten to any other way. MM: I’ve known things. And until I’ve articulated them, they’ve never been con- scious. I like the experience of new places and new things and working out how to survive in different environments that are totally dif- ferent ones than I’m used to. But until you articulate that survival, it’s just living. Geoff [Murphy—her producer/director husband] never sees those challenges as being pleas- ant. But I thrive on that sort of thing. In the end I had to agree with him that we should move from Los Angeles. But I didn’t know where, and didn’t really care. And he always had in his mind that the ideal halfway point between Los Angeles and New Zealand would be Hawai`i. So I said aah Polynesians, hmmm. Okay. So we ended up here and he could make whatever film he was making.

  • Australian Films
    AUSTRALIAN FILMS: The Rage in Placid Lake Just out of prep school -- where he was the target of tyrannical bullies -- misfit teen Placid Lake (Ben Lee) yearns to be a regular Joe. When a mishap lands Placid in a body cast for months, he formulates a plan to reinvent himself by donning a suit and taking a job as a drone at an insurance agency. But he soon discovers that conformity isn't what it's cracked up to be in this offbeat Aussie comedy from rookie director Tony McNamara. Strictly Ballroom This quirky, tenderly hilarious romantic comedy is sure to leave you tapping your toes. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, Strictly Ballroom is the off-beat story of a championship ballroom dancer (Paul Mercurio) who breaks all the rules by choosing an ugly duckling dancing partner (Tara Morice). Sweet, funny and original, this is one you won't forget quickly. The Castle When plans for an airport expansion threaten the home of Darryl Kerrigan (Michael Caton) and his family, the patriarch refuses to move from his "castle" -- in actuality, a shabby suburban tract house. Darryl rallies the troops and takes his battle to the highest court in Australia. This irreverent, warm-hearted comedy is frequently compared to The Full Monty. The Dish July 1969. Neil Armstrong is about to walk on the moon, and everyone's eyes are riveted to their TV screens. In Parkes, Australia, a radio dish antenna is slated to receive Apollo 11's video feed and send that historic sight out to the world … that is, if the Australian staff (including pipe-smoking, absent-minded scientist Sam Neill) and their NASA supervisor (the tense, by-the-book Patrick Warburton) don't make any mistakes! Rabbit Proof Fence Australia's aboriginal integration program of the 1930s broke countless hearts -- among them, those of young Molly (Evelyn Sampi), Gracie (Laura Monaghan) and Daisy (Tiana Sansbury), who were torn from their families and placed in an abusive orphanage.

  • GATTACA Written and Directed by Andrew Niccol ABOUT THE
    Article on Gattaca by Mark Freeman Area of Study 1 & 2 Theme: Future worlds GATTACA Written and directed by Andrew Niccol Article by Mark Freeman ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Andrew Niccol, a screenwriter and director, was born in New Zealand and moved to England at the age of 21 to direct commercials. He has written and directed Gattaca, Simone and Lord of War as well as earning an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay for The Truman Show. OVERVIEW In recent years, scientific research has unearthed a greater understanding of our genetic make-up – the lottery that determines our appearance and physical capabilities. The means by which we inherit specific traits from our parents, our genes are like a blueprint of our future, determining our predisposition for specific talents or particular illnesses. Concurrent with this understanding of genetics have come successful attempts in cloning, and, more recently, the ethical debate over stem cell research to combat a range of physical maladies. Identification and eradication of rogue genes (those that could ultimately cause malfunction at birth or later in a person’s life) is a very real possibility with the developing exploration in genetic research. In your own DNA, you already carry the genetic code which will cause your physical development in your teens, your predisposition to weight gain in your twenties, your hair loss in your thirties, early menopause in your forties, the arthritis you develop in your fifties, your death from cancer in your seventies. It’s an imposing thought to consider the map of our histories, our futures, in terms of our genetic code.
