1917 - an interesting film. Fairly accurate and true to the period, although a few minor problems (the wearing of officers' rank on the sleeve, which ended officially in 1916, the lack of Lewis guns). A bit reminiscent of Gallipoli, I'd give it a 8 out of ten.

Just watched (again) "Bran Neu Dae" which is a unique Indigenous Australian musical, based off the stage musical of the same name. It features Geoffrey Rush, Ernie Dingo, Jessica Mauboy, Missy Higgins, Deborah Mailman and Magda Szubanski. It tells the story of Willie, a boy from Broome sent to Perth at a Catholic college to become a priest. He revolts and runs off to Broome to be with his girlfriend and mother, pursued by Father Benedictus played by Rush. Loads of music, dancing and fun! :thumb

"Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears" Just went to see this my mother and wife. Enjoyable movie of the "Miss Fisher Investigates" TV series. Worth watching. Miss Fisher finally gets to kiss her boyfriend Detective Inspector Jack. Set in Melbourne, the UK and Palestine it is a good romp. Even the comment from Beatrice, her secretary and companion is worth the price of admission. :thumb

My wife dragged me to see Call Of The Wild. It was a good movie. Harrison Ford was the only big name in the movie.

Wonder Woman

Great Opening, confusing storyline, some gratuitous sex, some particularly graphic violence, over the top computer generated graphics, not a real lot of Wonder Woman doing what Wonder Woman does until nearly the end. Not sure what demographic this film was aimed at but I spent much of the movie with my hands over my Grand Daughters ears! Rent it when it comes out but save you Theatre money for something else
