It’s actually a good week for movie watching, despite the tinselitis: 1. John Travolta and Rene Russo star in Get Shorty (Prime, Friday, 10.40pm), an amusing collision of gangsters and producers – spot the difference. 2. Sigourney Weaver and heavy weaponry – what more could you want? Aliens (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm) is perhaps the best of a very successful scifi franchise. If you can’t handle the horror, American Beauty makes a plastic bag transcendental on Prime at 10.30pm. 3. Star film of the week isLittle Miss Sunshine (TEN, Sunday, 8.30pm), a satisfying journey for 1 2 3 film buffs and Kombi lovers alike.

She also claimed Wozza had turned the Tweed Heads chamber of commerce into a ‘hotbed of political in- *+ trigue’.
