Rock and Roll: The Early Days (1984)
Load of misinformation
This so called history of the demise of R&R was so out of touch with the real cause of the early demise its early years. The payola scandal was promoted by the then major record labels who had missed the R&R revolution boat. They were losing control of the industry to smaller labels. Radio were ignoring the major label's artists. Not one major label was subjected to any form of investigation even though they were just as guilty of using bribery to have their music played on radio. They just did it not so obviously. The campaign succeeded in scaring radio station into avoiding smaller labels which one by one were taken over by the majors. We jump to 2015 and the same major labels are at it again only this time they are blaming the Internet for their failure to adapt to new technology and especially the one thing they always controlled, distribution. Musician n longer have to depend on the major labels to record and distribute their music
Robot Overlords (2014)
Oh My A z grade movie
One would expect a reasonably decent movie that starred Ben Kingsley. Maybe he is just after the dollar regardless of the script. This movie has every element that any decent director should shudder at. A terribly fragmented storyline. Kingsley barely using 1/100th of his acting talent. No wonder it went strait to DVD. Not even worth downloading. Normally I don't bother with reviews but this movie just begs some form of negative comments. Syfy cable do a better job at SciFi Watch a repeat of The Terminator. At least the "robot" s realistic. I a only adding this line because IMBA insist on a ten line minimum
Sisters of War (2010)
A must see movie
Inspired by real events and based on Rod Miller's manuscript The Lost Women of Rabaul Sisters of War is a telemovie based on the true story of two Australian women, Lorna Whyte, an army nurse and Sister Berenice Twohill, a Catholic nun from New South Wales who survived as prisoners of war in Papua New Guinea during World War II. The two women remained friends for the remainder of their lives. Beautifully filmed with a feel of authenticity. The story of the Rabaul nurses would never have been told if it wasn't for an auctioneer who discovered a diary written by Grace Kruger, one of four civilian nurses captured by the Japanese in Rabaul in 1942. Apparently the diary was written cryptically as to confuse the Japanese soldiers and any casual reader and as a consequence went unnoticed for decades.
