Boxing title fight
Looking back, this film was a good idea.
It sounded almost like a James Cameron pitch.
On the last Boxing Day of the decade, one film - loved by the people, a proven champion - was left to battle a horde of well regarded challengers. Each possessed unknown strengths. Each had a hard working team and a band of followers loyal to the cause. One had singing chipmunks. Yet they all sought one thing.
The number one spot on the biggest box office weekend of the year.
Well, the numbers are out and to put it simply, Avatar romped it.
James Cameron's Na'vi saw off (in order) Sherlock, Alvin, two Dogs, the Morgans, vampires, poets, 3 idiots and a ghost to grab the final number one of 2009.
Which is not to say this gaggle performed poorly. The all-action Sherlock Holmes and kid-aimed Alvin's Squeakquel both topped 3 million, whilst the two family friendly comedies - Old Dogs and Did You Hear About The Morgans? - also topped the million mark. Avatar though, managed almost 9 million to mark an exceptional second weekend.
The cumulative effect was a record breaking weekend, with Greater Union and Birch Carroll & Coyle cinemas reporting larger numbers of cinema-goers than ever before. Boxing Day trade alone was up a massive 70% on last year, and public holiday Monday, December 28 was even higher. With the result that 40% of their cinemas achieved their best day ever at the box office over the weekend.
Disappointing openings for The Lovely Bones, The French Kissers and Nowhere Boy. A big name cast and director Peter Jackson would have left the Bones' distributors hoping for more, while the sheer quality of The French Kissers and Nowhere Boy deserved better returns.
A surprising dark horse in Bollywood flick 3 Idiots which cracked a look in at number nine despite opening in a meer handful of cinemas nationwide.
In the States, Cameron also held on to top spot, holding off a massive Sherlock Holmes opening and strong Squeakquel numbers in a record breaking weekend.

All 8 films reviewed
Choosing which of 8 films to see... elementary.
In Pick of the Flicks this week:
The French Kissers
"Those who feel subtitles inherently mean a dull night at the cinema, would be well advised to try French Kissers or as it should be known France 90210."
Sherlock Holmes
"This Sherlock Holmes combines dark arts and action, wit and tongue-in-cheek mirth, to feel like a great film adaptation of a comic book version of Holmes."
Old Dogs
"Those expecting new tricks or even vaguely inventive laughs from Old Dogs or its two waning stars should heed the obvious cliché. "
The Lovely Bones
"Peter Jackson has successfully filmed hobbits in middle earth and aliens in South Africa, but struggles to combine the visuals of a teenage girl in limbo with the ordeals of a family in hell."
Bright Star
"Oh Bright Star, wouldst thou were a great film... but thou art not. Thou art good but bitsy."
Did You Hear About The Morgans?
"With less edge than soup, Did You Hear About the Morgans? is a proud, plain, rom com."
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
"A surprising array of stars play the helium voiced sextet, safe in the knowledge that noone is going to be offended by this charming chipmunk squeakquel."
Nowhere Boy
"Setting a cracking pace, Nowhere Boy is a joyful journey into the power of personality, the finding of friends and the start of an amazing life, and to top it off, is one of the best films of the year to boot."

The eve eve eve box office results
They've no reason to feel blue.
Yes, Avatar won the weekend. Somewhat convincingly.
It was the only film to break a million. It was the only film to break ten million. In fact, it took more money over the weekend than EVERY OTHER FILM combined.
So yes, Avatar won the weekend.
Or did you mean the U.S. Box Office? In that case... Avatar won the weekend, and again took more than every other film combined.
Take a bow Jim Cameron, you've done it again!

Ten top films of 2009
We are very-much amused.
We've listed the rest, here's the best. The best ten films of 2009 to be precise.
Once again, there are a few guidelines that have been established in order for films to qualify for the best films of the year. Primarily, the film must have had its theatrical debut in Australia in the calendar year 2009. Boxing day 2008 doesn't count - so Frost/Nixon and Benjamin Button are disqualified.
Additionally, as per last year's best ten films a large part of this list's measure of a film's performance relies on expectations. A surprise delight rates higher than an anticipated success - see the animation category for an example.
Also, as the previous sentence indicates, the list is roughly broken into genres. Rather than select the best ten dramas that deal with big issues, similar films (and they're often not very similar) are compared and a winner declared, with close runners up rating a mention as also rans. As such, a notable mention in the number ten slot, may be a better film for some people than the film listed in fifth.
Finally, if the extraordinary response to last week's worst ten films list proves anything, it is that this is an entirely subjective process. Yes, this list is here to inspire conversation, comments and in some cases free flowing abuse.
That doesn't make it right or wrong. It makes it one list. Hopefully one among many. And we want to make sure it is, so we're giving you a chance to vote for the best and to leave your own list. So please let us know your favourites for the last year of the noughties.
So, without further ado, we present the Get Flick'd ten filmic favourites from the last 365 days.
10. Let The Right One In
Let's just put it out there. 2009 was a disappointing year for foreign language films, as the list of unimpressive nominees for Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globes indicates. However, there were a few notable exceptions, and they were in genres that Hollywood likes to think of as their own. For example, if you wanted to see a the best teen vampire romance flick this year, don't worry about Stephanie Meyers. Nay, get thee to Sweden! Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In which wasn't so concerned with using vampirism as a metaphor for virginity as wondering how a teen vampire would really cope over the centuries.
The next best foreign language film was from the far more established John Woo, who returned to China and to awesome action with Red Cliff. The two and half hour version was a vision of the art of war. The five hour version, a masterpiece in it.
9. Zombieland
The foreign language flicks almost pulled off the best horror flick too, with Norwegian Nazi zombie blizzard story Dead Snow, but were pipped at the post as Hollywood delivered the best zom-com since Shaun of the Dead to seal the deal, Zombieland. Four great characters and one superb cameo meant that this brain-seeking-tongue in cheek monsterpiece saw off more serious efforts like Drag Me To Hell and Paranormal Activity to take out a spot in the top ten. The irony of Sam Raimi losing out to comic horror is an additional plus.
8. The Boys Are Back
In a year that saw record number of Australian cinematic releases, it's intriguing to reflect on the fact that the best of the bunch were in some ways only quasi-Aussie flicks. Definitely Australian, definitely great, but not obsessed with putting patriotism before objectivity.
For example the excellent Mao's Last Dancer told the curiously Australian tale of a Chinese dancer defecting to America. Balibo was terrific, charting the tragedy of a handful of Australian journalists in East Timor in 1975. But topping our list was The Boys Are Back, an Australian adaptation of the story of an Englishman who in real life raised his kids in New Zealand. Great stories one and all.
7. Avatar
Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds with its joyful rewriting of history had the action film category locked, until a ghost from the past in the form of James Cameron produced the revelation that 3D cinema required, Avatar. With his patented combination of romance, action and gob-smacking effects, Cameron reminded the audience why they keep making bigger cinema screens.
6. I Love You Man
For some reason it is always controversial to include a main stream comedy in a top ten list, as though the successful targeting of the shameless laugh somehow demeans a film. One critic was overheard this year to say of The Hangover "If only it wasn't a comedy I could give it more than three stars". What?!! The Hangover was a good laugh-fest, embracing its R-rating with both dirty hands. On the other hand (wait, that makes three...) The Boat That Rocked turned the sordid world of British pirate radio into a light-hearted loveable boat-based sit com.
The greatest surprise though was I Love You Man, which triggered every cynical instinct with its promise of the world's first brom-com, and yet delivered a tightly cut, laugh-packed package that safely secured it the best commercial comedy spot for '09.
5. Star Trek
As far as overcoming expectations, Star Trek takes the cake. Eleven films into what was arguably the tiredest franchise in the world, not many expected the creator of Lost to turn this sinking behemoth around. It seems noone told J.J. Abrams though as with one plot device - and where else but Star Trek could you safely use alternate Universes as a basic story block - he simply started the whole thing again. Brilliant. And so was the ensuing film. Bring on Star Trek 2 (or is that 12?).
Honourable mention here must go to 2012. Destroying the world is one thing. Escaping it in a series of vehicles from a limo to an RV made for spectacular (if silly) cinema. If only the final line hadn't been about diapers!
4. The September Issue
You didn't have to be an art-house loving, film-school attending, mainstream-shunning cinema snob to love documentaries this year, for the simple reason that there were lots of great ones. Every Little Step took a decade of reality television on and swept it aside with an toe-tapping and heart-warming view of the auditions for Chorusline that simultaneously outlined that musical's extraordinary history. The Cove continued the trend of great environmental documentaries that highlight just how much happier the planet would be without us. And Anvil! The Story of Anvil told the tiny, tragic but wonderful story of Rock'n'Roll's greatest unheard of band Anvil!
However, building on the foundations laid by The Devil Wears Prada, The September Issue proved that life is not only stranger than fiction, but also bitchier, nastier and infinitely more fascinating. Anna Wintour and co. proved to be the greatest subject matter a filmmaker could ask for as we discovered you not only have to be ruthless to get to the top of the fashion world, but you have to revel in it.
3. (500) Days of Summer
We'll call this category the "clever comedies". Mostly independent films. Low budget. Big heart. Every year it's a rich hunting ground, this year (500) Days of Summer was the best of them. Spanning musical madness to animated action, light romance to bleak observation, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel lit up the screen and filled our hearts with a truly new and wonderful romantic comedy.
This was a tough decision though. The performances and the script by Nick Hornby which safely navigated a very complex love affair in An Education certainly deserved consideration, as did the hysterical Star Wars heritage defending geek-ness of Fanboys
. Both were truly excellent films that any filmgoer would love.
2. Coraline
Which brings us to the really tough decisions. 2009 featured a wealth of awesome animation. Pixar delivered again with Up, which had a five minute opening that could almost have topped this list on its own. The underrated Monsters vs Aliens allowed Dreamworks to continue in great form too. And both films utilised 3D to great effect. In the end though, we knew Dreamworks would deliver. The reality is, we expect such magic from Pixar.
The surprise packet was Coraline. A modern stop-motion animation faerytale that came almost out of nowhere to enchant everyone who saw it. A stellar voice cast and a superb source in the form of Neil Gaiman's book, gave Henry Selick the ammunition to work marvellous movie magic.
1. Young Victoria
Were it not for our own guidelines, the top four spots on this list could easily all be biopics. Sean Penn won an immensely deserved Oscar for the excellent Milk. Clint Eastwood was however inexplicably ignored for his wonderful work directing Changeling. It's way too early to tell for Nowhere Boy - the tale of John Lennon's teenage tearaway youth, but this wonderful story is one to watch out for.
As this year's awards season kicks off though, Emily Blunt is already garnering nominations for her exemplary performance as the young Queen Victoria. In hindsight it seems obvious that the formative years of the longest serving Queen should make a great story. But that is to underestimate the skill and grace that went into delivering the beautiful, engaging and historically fascinating Young Victoria. To successfully elevate it from made-for-television period melodrama to the grand elegant tale it is, is a triumph that warrants the (dubious) honour of being Get Flick'ds film of the year.
So that's it. 2009's top ten. A year of cinematic joy. But did we get it wrong?
Have your say. We've put together a shortlist. Vote for your favourite film of 2009 here. We'll publish the results for Christmas.
Even better, tell us what you thought. What did you think of this year in celluloid? Any spectacular omissions form our list? Any stinkers somehow make the list?
Most importantly, what were your favourite 10 films in 2009?

Just freaking awesome!
In love with the Avatar
In Pick of the Flicks this week:
"From the music to the muse, this is clearly a James Cameron flick, clearly a masterpiece, and clearly marks a revolution in blockbusters, for if you only see one film in a 3D cinema this year, make it Avatar."
Broken Embraces
"When film makers start making films about film makers, you begin to worry that they've run out of inspiration."

When is acting not acting?
OK, you tell him he's not nominated.
At what point does appearing in a film stop counting as acting?
For a while now, major studios - particularly Pixar and Dreamworks - have annually released some of the biggest films of the year. They've consistently achieved the key double act of being both critically acclaimed, and box office smash hits. Some of them will rate in any list of the best films of the last decade - Shrek, Toy Story, Wall-E, Up ... the list goes on.
Yet the voice actors who "appear" in these films - who in many ways bring the characters to life - are not even whispered about in awards consideration. One suspects actors such as Teri Hatcher, Mike Myers and Tim Allen, for whom these films are the best work they've done in years, wouldn't exactly be sitting by the phone on the day nominations are read out. Of course, the films they appear in are consistently looked over for anything other than token animated feature awards, so at least that's consistent. They're not in real films, so they're not really acting.
OK then, what about the films that lie in between? The ever-growing list of films in which actors do all their work wearing ping pong balls in motion-capture studios or interacting with invisible characters and scenery in front of a green screen.
Check the list of Golden Globe Nominees. You won't find a mention of a single cast member from Avatar, despite it being nominated for every other award for which it qualifies.
In a growing age of CGI, animation and 3D, why don't these films count as films? And when the awards lists are compiled, why don't their stars count as actors?
Back at the start of the decade, when the sort of films in question were the Star Wars prequels, no one was really clamouring for the actors to get a look in come awards time. More often they were clamouring at the box office to get their money back.
But now we've got Avatar. Nominated for a Golden Globe award for best picture. Created by James Cameron (you may have heard of him) who has been nominated for best direction. It's got great music, as indicated by the two nominations for James Horner for best score and best song. The Globes don't do technical awards, but you'd be pretty safe putting your house on a swathe of technical nominations come Oscar season. And it has a great cast, led by Sam Worthington who has been ... totally overlooked. They all have.
The strange thing is that no one seems to find this strange. Even our own Australian journalists, in their entirely Aussie focused Globes pieces, as they seemingly mention every Australian who has ever been on a film set this year, fail to even note that Worthington didn't get a look in. A film that is sending every critic running to the bookstore for a new thesaurus, in order to find different adjectives to praise it, seemingly features a host of entirely un-notable performances.
Well here's the tip. It doesn't. With all Australian bias aside, Sam Worthington is great. Does he deserve a nomination - possibly. Does he deserve to be at least considered? Definitely.
The weird thing is, in many ways this is the perfect awards role. Worthington's Jake Sully didn't tick just one of the boxes in the stereotypical award winning categories; he ticked ALL the boxes.
- He appears in a wheelchair - check (see Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot).
- He changes appearance to appear as two characters - check (see Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie).
- He swaps allegiances to fight against his people - check (see Russell Crowe in Gladiator).
It seems the only thing against good 'ol Jake is the fact that he's fictitious! If Avatar was only a biopic ...
Seriously though, because Worthington did most of his work on Avatar in front of a large green cloth, suspended on wires, while wearing a lycra suit covered in over-achieving mothballs, he is basically reduced to being a "voice actor" in the eyes of the awards.
Didn't he actually do MORE work though? In convincingly being a 10-foot blue guy, conducting romantic scenes with a 10-foot blue girl, flying a lizard over a canyon or beating up on 50-foot machines, he had to imagine all of it. In Up In The Air at least George Clooney (who is excellent) had actual airports, hotel suites and fellow actors to work off.
Last year, Brad Pitt was nominated for best actor for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and there was certainly some CGI going on there.
The Lord of the Rings cast were usefully dubbed an ensemble, so individual honours could be ignored - one Gandalf nomination aside. But that's about it. Isn't it time the people making the CGI characters watchable got a look in?
Or can we at least give Worthington a nomination as a supporting actor for the scenes in which he's just a human? Surely the wheelchair counts for something!
What do you think? Should Avatar's actors get awards recognition? Or is Cameron's masterpiece a triumph of technicians over thespians?

No change at the box office
Neera had always dreamed of debuting at no. 7
It was deja vu all over again last weekend as the debut of four new films had very little impact on the box office takings around the country. Paranormal Activity continued to hold off Twilight: New Moon for top spot, with Where The Wild Things Are maintaining third.
Best of the newbies was Planet 51, which despite critical disdain - although this critic liked it - managed to clamber into seventh spot. In doing so, it pushed The Time Traveller's Wife out of the list, after five weeks in residence. And that's about it for news.
Other debutants 9 and Away We Go, didn't bother the scorers.
In the States, The Princess and the Frog jumped from obscurity to number one this week. Technically this was not on debut, as it had been showing in a handful of cinemas for a few weeks, but with the expansion to almost three and a half thousand cinemas, the old school Disney animation grew its audience considerably.
Sadly it seems Americans haven't taken to South African rugby though, as Invictus came in a disappointing third, despite boasting the combined star power of Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman and director Clint Eastwood.
Which is a long winded way of saying, not much change at the box office last week!

Ten 2009 Turkeys
There comes a time, when we heed a certain call, when the world, must come together as one ... to identify, vilify and denounce the worst films of the year.
This is of course an entirely subjective process; one person's turkey is another person's feast. Yet, at the same time, there are a few films that will make any victim's (or as they are also known, cinemagoer's) list.
So what follows is one list - not by any means the list - meant to inspire you to provide your list. It is an impetus to provoke ire, a call to angry action ... an opportunity basically, to vent your spleen.
And so, as an annual right of passage, you are invited to check out the Get Flick'd list of the 10 films that stank the stinkiest in 2009 and then to correct, quibble and provide your own list of 10 flicks that flunked the year.
This time last year, Get Flick'd established some rules for listing the year's worst cine-dogs.
The ensuing list certainly generated some interesting feedback, much of which questioned the author's parentage, intelligence and status as a member of the species. The rules, though, seemed to work, were fairly simple and, with only a little updating of the cinematic references, will hold for another year's list of shame. So here are the updated rules of compiling your list:
I. The film had to have its opening weekend in Australia in the calendar year 2009. Just because you saw The Love Guru or Big Stan this year, doesn't mean they can be included (although I am sorry).
II. The film had to have a cinematic release. (Straight to DVD is the distributor equivalent of a white flag!) So The Punisher: War Zone is out.
III. You had to see the film. The right to vote for a film comes only with the time invested in watching it. If you were sensible enough not to see Case 39, you already win - so you can't also include it on your list!
In addition, in putting together our list, we chose to spread the bile across a number of genres. As such you won't find 10 bad comedies here - though a highly qualified list could certainly be made from this year's laugh-seekers.
The list also takes into account expectations. You won't find Dance Flick on the list, because in being awful it merely fulfilled expectations. Whereas, a film that holds itself to a higher standard - by virtue of genre, actor or filmmaker - is more likely to receive consideration for being infinitely more disappointing.
So without further ado, here are the Get Flick'd 10 worst films of 2009:
10. Fame
Only avoiding a position closer to the No.1 slot through the expectation-management process, this remake of the 1980 classic in the era of So You Think You Can Dance and Step Up / Centre Stage dance popularity promised so much, but delivered so little. Fame was hidden from the media prior to release and soon hidden from audiences by cinemas that couldn't get it out of their empty theatres quick enough.
Fame takes out the "teen flick" spot this year and, as such, prevents Whip It! from getting a look in, which gets away with being so disappointing only because it was Drew Barrymore's first time at directing.
9. Valkyrie
Oh the irony. A botched film about a botched attempt on Hitler's life. Valkyrie sounds like a concept for a film spoof, except it was actually made and was anything but funny. Exactly who thought Tom Cruise would be a winner as a one-armed, one-eyed Nazi turncoat is a question one suspects a number of studio execs have asked themselves as they cleared their desks. This had a certain car-crash quality in the desire to look at it, but equally the need to look away just as quickly.
As the worst effort in the "intelligent thriller" stakes, Tom's quasi-biopic manages to do Clive Owen a huge favour as his two big films for the year The International and Duplicity would otherwise be fighting it out for the No.9 spot.
8. Cheri
Oh Cheri ... oh dear. Period piece - check. French period piece - check. French period piece featuring scandalous love affair - check. Michelle Pfeiffer - check. If only someone had, say, checked if the script was any good.
7. Astroboy
As animated films become more prolific, we are beginning to be presented with as many bad cartoons as good. We had some great ones this year, some that raised an already high standard, but we also had the likes of Igor and The Tale of Desperaux. Worst of all though, merely because it abused one of the most beloved television cartoons (and manga) of all time, was the cobbled together monstrosity Astroboy.
As a sidenote, Astro also takes out the crumbiest kids' film spot, saving the blushes of such efforts as Imagine That and The Fox and The Child.
6. Blessed
In a year of prolific Australian filmmaking, it takes a stand-out effort to make the worst film. Congratulations to the team behind Blessed, who mistook melodrama for content, predictability for pathos, tokenism for meaning. The names behind this film were stellar, and that only made their fall from grace harder to bear.
5. Tyson
Many claimed Tyson was a revelation. A warts and all insight. It wasn't. It isn't. It's an hour and a half of one of the worst talkers in the world talking. Lisping, monotonous and without interruption, Tyson talks and talks, and the editing removes any pauses for breath - for him or us. This isn't a documentary, it's a testimony, and it's awful. As such it is easily the worst documentary of the year, beating disappointing high profiled candidates such as Capitalism: A Love Story and Valentino: The Last Emperor.
4. Gran Torino
The hate-mail should begin about here.
Clint Eastwood released an amazing film in 2009. It was called The Changeling. Gran Torino on the other hand felt like a man who has made a lot of violent (and good) films trying to leave a legacy of peace and tolerance. This was not good filmmaking, no matter what the box office says.
Three other films - The Girlfriend Experience, Funny People and What Just Happened? - took themselves way too seriously in an effort to be dramatic, and lost the plot and the audience along the way. Yet it was Clint's car caper that takes out fourth spot.
3. All About Steve
Frankly, it's a blanket finish for worst comedy of 2009. Sandra Bullock's crossword writing cretin gets the nod (or is that the bucket) at the time of writing, but on another day it could have been any of Bride Wars, Year One, New In Town, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, The Invention of Lying and My Life In Ruins. We did laugh a lot this year. But it wasn't in any of these films.
2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
There were some really disappointing comic book and action films this year. Watchmen was a revelation in how wordy graphic novel adaptations can be. Terminator: Salvation forgot that its prequels (at least the first two) had brains as well as gun-toting robots. The Spirit was just weird (and awful). Nothing, though, was as mind-numbing as Wolverine's bloated back story. We hoped for so much from Hugh. At least he was a good host at the Oscars.
1. Knowing
The race for worst film of the year was run and lost in March. Knowing was the champ/chump, daylight second. Three visually stunning disaster scenes were nowhere near enough to save this monstrous Nicolas Cage catastrophe. By the time we arrived on the alien world (codenamed Eden in post-production) at the end of the film, we had been presented not just with a Christian religious sci-fi message so blunt it made C.S. Lewis look subtle, but with the sort of brainless, mindless, funless blockbuster that leaves one wondering how anyone who read the script ever thought it should be made into a film.
So that's it. The 10 turkeys of 2009. What do you think? Any spectacular omissions? Or do some (or all) of these deserve a reprieve?
Most importantly, what were the 10 worst films YOU saw in 2009?
Thank you all for an extraordinary response so far. Please keep your nominations coming!
A few clarifications:
- Australia was released in Australia on November 26, 2008.
- Valkyrie was released in Australia on January 22, 2009.
- Burn After Reading was released in Australia on October 16, 2008.
- Yes I have seen and loved many Clint Eastwood films, both old and new. Upon reflection I would agree Gran Torino was probably more a huge disappointment than a "turkey". However, I stand by its placement here. For the reasons, watch the review .
- Upon any measure I stand by Knowing at No.1, even if it does make me a "spiritual neanderthal" (though thanks Beaumont for the laugh).
- With Kat's defence of Blessed, that leaves only two films that people haven't claimed were one of the best. It's great to see heated debate. Anyone want to defend Fame or All About Steve?
Thanks again to all those who have made their gripes known. Better out than in!
Never let it be said Get Flick'd denied you your say!

Attack of the animations
Take a peak at modern day animation.
In Pick of the Flicks this week:
"Gorgeously animated, beautifully executed and incredibly imaginative, Shane Acker's 9 manages to nonetheless feel a little bit like something you've seen before."
Planet 51
"Well and truly aimed at kids Planet 51 is a film they will thoroughly enjoy yet which any accompanying adult will have lots of laughs in too."
Away We Go

Ghosts beat vampires
Finally, we can afford real flowers.
In a week that saw vampires, zombies and wild things fighting for dominance, it was the little-fright-flick-that-could that came out on top as Paranormal Activity took top honours at the box office on the weekend.
Not that the New Moon tween-pleasers are suddenly short of pocket money, they still took more than two and a half million in Australia, and were only just pipped by the amateur ghost hunters. That was more than enough to see off Spike Jones' Where The Wild Things Are, while the surprisingly excellent Zombieland, couldn't even get past the also excellent Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.
Meanwhile Ricky Gervais' unlaughable comedy The Invention of Lying is rapidly sinking, as word gets out on the grapevine of its less than stellar comedic content.
In the States, Sandra Bullock's heart string tugging The Blind Side finally jumped ahead of New Moon, and in the absence of any real new competition, took top spot. Surprisingly, Bullock's first legitimate and critical success for quite some time is yet to be granted an Australian release date, though with numbers like this it won't be far off.
The Twi-hards were persistent enough to ensure second spot for their undead heroes in North America, though its taking - and that of the U.S. box office overall - was quite low following the last two weekends of frenzied attendance. For those keeping tabs, the Twilight sequel's takings weren't quite enough to kick it past the half-billion mark, but it is only a matter of days away.

Zombies outshine Wild Things
It's ok Carol, we can't all be undead.
In Pick of the Flicks this week:
Where The Wild Things Are
"This is a film for lovers of the book, lacking the depth or the plot to really be loved as a stand alone film. As an homage or shrine for those who grew up with these characters though, it is a work of art and one to be loved."
"With its brain seeking tongue wedged firmly in its blood soaked cheek, Zombieland embraces its violence and language warnings to make a truly hysterical, enjoyable and mouth watering zom-com ride."
Paranormal Activity
"From the changing relationship dynamics to the various reveals, this is a maestro fright flick at its shocking best. And if you're after a film that goes bump in the night, this is the one for you."
The Informant!
"Somewhere between the true story it is based on, and the gimmicks and gags brought to the tale by Damon and Sodeburgh The Informant! somehow falls between the cracks to result in only an ok movie."

Opening the Hatch on Investing
It's a big wide world out there, with markets for absolutely anything popping out of the woodwork. Businesses around the world are growing rapidly before our eyes via funding rounds, and the "Unicorn" is an ever more common phenomenon. Share market investing has always been thought of as a game played by cleanly-shaven, middle-aged guys in Armani suits with luxury mansions in Remuera, who smoke cigars and drive fast cars. Not any more though. New Zealanders are changing their investment game and it's going to play into our hands… and pockets.
Kiwi Wealth, sister-company to Kiwibank, have launched a personable platform for investors to grow their enormous (or not so) wealth, providing access to over 2,900 companies and 500 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed on the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Introducing Hatch, a platform on your computer or smart device that provides an easy way to buy US-listed shares, without having to endure the complicated rigmarole and high fees of a bank or traditional broker. With bluechip companies like Facebook, Alibaba, Apple, Netflix and Tesla, the wealth (pun intended) of the US market is at your fingertips.
Does buying shares in accordance with your budget sound good? Even if your budget doesn't quite stretch to that of a Wall Street hedge fund? Normally, you would buy a set amount of shares, but with Hatch, you can invest as much or as little as you like, and buy portions of shares that meet your budget requirements. Not everyone has the ability to buy a whole Amazon share (currently trading at around USD$1,700), but we all want to profit off of Jeff Bezos' mastermind, right? Hatch allows you to deposit how much you want to invest and buy a portion of a share, pocket-sized and able to slide right into your wallet, without a minimum investment.
Hatch has concocted a way to make their platform stand out above the rest. With low brokerage fees and low exchange fees, as well as taking care of your US tax obligations for you, Hatch's platform is simple, easy and low cost, perfect for the weekend warrior of investing.
In case you were wondering just how easy, here's a step-by-step guide to show you:
Step 1: Sign-up and verify that you are who you say you are (all online, in about 5 mins).
Step 2: Deposit, deposit, deposit.
Step 3: Decide which shares you want to buy.
Step 4: Invest, invest, invest.
Step 5: Watch your portfolio blossom.
Since its launch last September, Hatch customers have invested nearly $10 million in US-listed companies like Amazon, Aurora Cannabis, Google and many more. Hatch is a must for Kiwi investors, as they become more confident, educated and diversified with their investment and wealth. Admittedly, it was a lot more difficult in the yonder years to put money into overseas markets, with complex banking, confusing jargon and off-putting fees. Luckily, Hatch can help out.
As I conclude, I am reminded of something Ms. Donovan-Skeens said to me in Business Studies, Year 8. "Investing isn't as confusing as you might originally think"… and now that's very true. Hatch has saved us all from the confusion and frustration often associated with investing. The perfect option for the armchair investor, the sideline shareholder, or the money-crazed Wall Street broker in all of us.

European Willow Garden Basket Trug
Dimensions: Length 66 cm x Width 41 cm x Height 20 cm, 36 cm incl handle
Description: I'm not a gardener myself, but I can see that this European Willow Wicker Garden Basket Trug would be so useful if I were. This is a lovely, large basket, made from full buff willow wicker, ideal for carrying everything to the allotment and bringing vegetables and flowers back. The tapered sides and high carrying handle give easy access to the contents. Just because I've called it a garden basket, doesn't mean that is it's only use, it would look lovely filled with pine cones to sit beside the fire, just think of the beautiful smell when you put the cones on the open fire!
We stock a range of these European made baskets, the old favourite Cookery basket, a much larger rectangle basket and a pretty oval basket with handle. The cookery and oval baskets are also available with a removable natural lining, so if you're using them for crafting or gardening, your materials won't snag on the willow.
Willow baskets are very versatile. These are much hardier than many other natural materials, and can be used outside as they will survive in all weathers. Usually a stronger weave, they are very sturdy and solid. Grown in fields and by river banks as willow, the branches are stripped of their outer layer and usually treated before weaving. The end product is well suited to carrying weight although the baskets themselves are lightweight.
Buff Willow is cropped mainly in November, but sometimes not until December. It is the most popular and is obtained by boiling the willows to release the natural colourant tannin from the bark into the wood. The bark is then stripped from the willow revealing the characteristic golden colour. Double Steamed willow is boiled twice for a deeper, richer colour.
Our baskets are handcrafted from natural products, please allow 5% tolerance on all measurements

Anyone heading out for a Sunday drive today? Hopefully, you don't run into a funky intersection like this one!
Now that's one intersection that I don't want to end up at! Walking in this intersection would be bad enough, and I can't even imagine trying to drive in it!
Who do you think has the right of way here? Or how about here…?
I'm thinking that this intersection optical illusion is a clever Photoshop job, and it makes for a pretty great effect!

Researchers said the findings of a new study suggest that women who take acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, during pregnancy run a greater risk of giving birth to a child with attention problems, or hyperactivity. More than half of all women take acetaminophen, which is found in a variety of different allergy, flu and pain medications, at some point during pregnancy. Prenatal exposure to the drug, the researchers said, was linked with emotional and behavioral problems, like ADHD, that manifest later in children.
Researchers studied more than 14,000 pregnant women and they found that 53 percent of women used the pain reliever by the time they'd reached 18 weeks of pregnancy and 43 percent used it at 32 weeks and beyond. Comparatively, some 89 percent of women reported using the drug after having given birth. Researchers factored in other potential causes for behavioral problems — like alcohol and tobacco use, genetics, etc. — and discovered that a pregnant woman who used acetaminophen at 18 weeks of pregnancy showed a greater chance of her child becoming hyperactive or developing conduct problems. Those who used the drug 32 weeks into pregnancy were linked to higher odds of having a child that developed emotional symptoms, conduct problems and hyperactivity symptoms.
Still, they said the drug is safe to use while pregnant — in moderation. "Acetaminophen is considered safe to use during pregnancy," said Evie Stergiakouli, the study's lead author, but stressed that the pain reliever should only be taken when absolutely necessary and under a doctor's supervision. A spokesperson for Tylenol also issued a statement saying the study failed to draw "a causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse effects on child development."

Aesthetically inspired by the recently launched second generation Leaf combined with the "Japanese principles ma (sense of time) and wa (harmony", the IMx features an expansive windscreen, flared front fenders with red inserts, the now trademark V-motion grille and a specific pearl white hue claimed to "describe the beauty found inside traditional kimonos".
Able to function as a full-time autonomous vehicle with Nissan's ProPilot system activated, which retracts the steering wheel when selected, the IMx's interior is said to "adhere to the basic concept of space found in a traditional Japanese house", with a minimalist design consisting of a panoramic OLED instrument display, wood-grain inlays, central touchpad also functioning as a armrest, and a type of gesture control using eye movements and head gestures.
Powered by two electric motors mounted on the front and rear axles, effectively making it all-wheel drive, the IMx is claimed to produce 320 kW and 700 Nm of torque, allowing for a range of 600 km on a single charge. No charging time has been revealed. At present, it remains to be seen whether the IMx will become a production reality.

Setting the Stage for Change: The Groups Scholars Program at Indiana University
Main Article Content
After the Second World War (WWII), a shift in access to higher education shaped many colleges and universities, including Indiana University (IU). The 1960s at IU ushered in change for educational equality for "disadvantaged students" through the establishment of the Groups Scholars Program (Groups) founded in 1968. The importance of the foundational practices established by the Groups program is addressed along with its longevity at IU. This historical analysis of the Groups program and the environment at IU was completed through archival and secondary sources. Through this historical analysis, the first section of this paper addresses how Black student activism influenced diversity at IU and in the community in the 1960s, the second section addresses the factors that contributed to the establishment of Groups in 1968, and the final section provides suggestions and concluding thoughts.

The illegal storage of waste fridges and freezers has cost a recycling company and its director £13,500 in fines and costs.
Global Environmental Recycling Company of Campbeltown Road, Birkenhead, was found guilty at Wirral Magistrates Court last Friday of two charges relating to the deposit and storage of controlled waste without a waste-management licence.
Director Robert Shepherd, trading as RJS International, was found guilty of three charges relating to illegal storage of controlled waste and failing to comply with a notice dated July 8 2003 informing him that he was in breach of the 1990 Environmental Protection Act.
This was the result of a site visit by Environment Agency (EA) officers that uncovered, among other things, several thousand small domestic appliances stacked six feet high.
The court was told that when interviewed on August 7 2003, Shepherd said the unit at Maritime Business Park had been leased to store re-useable appliances.
He admitted that waste appliances were stored at the Global site, and that RJS International was responsible for transporting and depositing them.
This was due to the company being sub-contracted to handle the areas waste fridges by Mersey Waste Holdings, the company that is responsible for all of Merseysides waste through a £40 million contract with Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority.
However, an authority spokesman said: Theres no way of knowing whether the fridges were from Merseyside as Global has so many contracts.
As the Director of Global Environmental Recycling, Shepherd was aware of the need for a waste-management licence and already held one for a different unit at the business park.
Shepherd said his business moved fridges from the licensed unit to the unlicensed site as a temporary measure.
The court also heard that on December 19 2003 the unit was inspected again and there was still a substantial amount of waste on site.
The disputed site, registered under Global Environmental Recycling Company, is now in possession of a waste-management licence and the EA is satisfied that it is operating legally.

A controversy has broken out on the film's set of Shankar's magnum opus, 2.0, when the film crew assaulted two journalists for questioning the blocking of a road.
The journalists, Raghunathan and Sri Barath said "When we asked if it was proper to inconvenience public by blocking roads especially during (morning) peak hour, two crew members used foul language against us and we were beaten up"
Soon, the agitated journalists lodged a police complaint and the police have arrested the chief assistant director of the film, Pappu, who is a relative of the director Shankar. Later the parties settled the case amicably and the journalists withdrew the complaint after the film director Shankar apologized to the journalists over this incident.
Director Shankar said "This incident happened without my knowledge, I feel very sorry for that, I will see that it won't happen again"

There is limited knowledge available on rhizosphere bacterial communities associated with different cultivars. To contribute in this perspective the present research was conducted, based on 16S rRNA bacterial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of two wheat cultivars i-e Chakwal-50 and Fareed-06at flowering stage to investigate the hypothesis: cultivar difference affects the composition of rhizosphere bacterial communities. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified by 27 forward and 1492 reverse primers and cloned using TA cloning vector. The plasmid DNA of transformants was subjected to RFLP analysis by Hind III, X BaI restriction enzymes and sequenced by M13 Forward and Reverse primers. The results revealed heterogeneity in the bacterial communities of both rhizosphers that may correlates to variation in N- NO3, Mn, Fe and Co contents, soil moisture contents, total organic carbon and organic matter of rhizosphere soil. The two 16S-rRNA rhizosphere libraries covered 8 phyla, 14 classes, 14 orders, 23 families, 33 genera along with un-classified and un-characterized lineages that may represents novel lineages. At phylum, class, order, family and genera level 13, 50, 36, 78, 91 % divergence was observed. The sequence results confirmed the presence of beneficial bacteria in rhizosphere soil that are potentially effective for plants and soil health.
Keywords: Rhizosphere soil, Wheat cultivars, 16S rRNA gene library, TA cloning vector, RFLP.

The 2013 NHDRO season concluded almost 8 months ago for the majority of the racers. The season finale event encountered a rare rainout, and eliminations couldn't be fully completed. Event promoter, Brian Welch, decided to let each class vote and decide whether to end the points as they were or to complete the race at the 2014 season opener. The majority of the racers voted to end the season right there and every class crowned a champion, with the exception of Street Fighter. Those racers chose to wait until the following year's season opener to finish out the race and declare their champion.

Ben Knight carried a small lead into the final rounds over Dave Page, Ron Arnold, and John Markham. As the race resumed this past weekend, the championship battle grew thinner each round. Ron Arnold defeated John Markham in the second round to put him out of contention, while also giving himself an outside shot at the title. Dave Page was able to capitalize on a broke bye, followed up by a competition bye, to put himself into the semi-finals. Knight then took advantage of a red light from Ron Arnold, which cemented the 2013 NHDRO Street Fighter championship for the Brock's Performance supported racer. In addition to securing the championship, Knight raced to both Street ET finals in the season opener garnering runner-up Saturday and taking the win on Sunday.
