Movie 43 – MAOut Now
World War Z – MReviewed at Reading Cinemas, Charlestown by Gary “Mr Movies” Scott
Given that many movie wags had labelled ‘Movie 43’ as one of the worst films ever made, I simply had to see
for myself. Having seen the likes of ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ and anything else from the Ed Wood filmography – this film is by no means even close to the worst ever made. In fact it is quite funny – in a purile way.
In a homage to such 70’s skit films as ‘The Kentucky Fried Movie’, ‘Movie 43’ is a series of loosely interconnected shorts based around two teenagers’ quest to search the internet to find ‘Movie 43’, the most disgusting and ban-worthy film ever.
From the twisted minds of producers Peter Farrelly (‘Shallow Hal’) and Charles Wessler (‘Dumb and Dumber’) and a stellar cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Richard Gere, Emma Stone and Chloe Moretz, ‘Movie 43’ is definitely not for the easily offended. You will never look at Hugh Jackman’s neck the same way.
Z ombies, zombies and more zombies
– there can never be enough as evidenced in director Marc Foster’s apocalyptic extravaganza ‘World War Z’.
The story centres around ex-UN employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), who is tasked with tracking down both the source and the cure for a global pandemic that is, quite literally, wiping out humanity.
The zombies, well, let’s call them “infected”, are not your typical Romero-esque versions but more akin to Danny Boyle’s rage monsters in ‘28 Days Later’. These malcontents work in large groups that are almost impossible to contain. From North Korea to Wales and points in between, Lane is thrust into a globetrotting race against time. With stunning special effects, a taut script and some truly tense cinematography, go see it.
Box road
Fargo – Friday, 10.55pmGEM
James Morrison – Friday, July 5The Basement, Circular Quay
T his dark comedy from the director/producer combo of Joel and Ethan Cohen (‘Burn After Reading’, ‘The Big
Lebowski’, ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’) is easily one of their best.
The story centres around Jerry Lundergaard (William H Macy) who works in his father-in-law’s car dealership. Jerry has gotten himself into some financial problems and tries various schemes to come up with the money. When all else fails, he sets in motion a plan to have his wife kidnapped for the ransom to be paid by the father-in-law.
Of course, things quickly spiral out of control, and before you can say “put him in the woodchipper” Jerry’s life takes many twists and turns.
This is essential viewing for fans of quality cinema.
James Morrison is, by anybody’s standard, a virtuoso in the true sense of the word.
Besides the trumpet, this multi-instrumentalist also plays trombone, euphonium, flugel horn, tuba, saxophones, double bass and piano. At the age of seven, he was given his first instrument, at nine he formed his first band and at thirteen
he was playing professionally in nightclubs. His international career developed just as quickly – at 16, he debuted in the USA with a breathtaking concert at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
Now 49, James Morrison’s career thus far has been diverse and perhaps not typical of most jazz musicians, having performed concerts at the Royal Albert Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for Princess Anne.
Don’t miss the chance to see this jazz virtuoso in action.

I f ever you needed convincing that vinyl sounds much better than that tinny sound from your iPod headphones, an event will hit
Newcastle next month which will be sure to enlighten.
The inaugural Reggae Got Soul Weekender is a three-day celebration of stacks of wax and vintage soul, northern soul, Motown, R&B (the good kind), mod and Jamaican oldies.
Organiser (and Post staffer) Dan Phelan told TE that record fanciers and selectors would be coming from far and wide to see what Newcastle had to offer.
“There’s going to be a lot of bands, DJs, stallholders and people travelling to Newcastle for this so, basically, the idea was to show people who are not from Newcastle, and those who are, how to have a good time,” he said.
Phelan, under his moniker DJ Scorcher, is one of Newcastle’s Reggae Got Soul DJs who have been doing their bit in the vinyl revival at their weekly Saturday Got Soul nights at the Terrace Bar, said proceedings would kick off on Friday, July 26, with a slew of DJs (including Reggae Got Soul cohorts Luke Dolan aka Kid Mince and Juz Moon aka Chuan) spinning all the platters that matter alongside Newcastle’s newest and hottest ska/reggae/soul sextet, The Buzzard Mix.
“The Terrace Bar is such a great,
relaxed little venue and a venue that’s open to different ideas and that appreciates good music,” he said.
“So, there’ll be heaps of DJs playing downstairs like Richard Shimmy from Brisbane, Mark Keith Brown from Sydney and the Cider Striders while the Buzzard Mix, who are awesome, play upstairs.”
Things aren’t set to slow down the following day, when the big one, the record fair, gets underway at the Wickham Croatian Sports Club, with the venue sure to be chock-a-block with hard-core collectors pouring over catalogue numbers, alongside the more casual collectors.
“It’s going to be huge,” Phelan said.“There’s going to be a lot of big
stallholders coming from Sydney, Canberra and Queensland as well as locals, with a massive range of vinyl – not just the Northern Soul and ska stuff.”
But just what is it about the lure of the black circle that brings about such an avid devotion? For DJs like Phelan, it’s the thrill of the chase.
“The first record I remember buying was ‘Species Deceases’ by Midnight Oil and then, like most teenage boys at the time, started buying all their albums, but the thing that got me into Jamaican music was Prince Buster’s ‘Madness’.
“Because my DJ name is The Scorcher, there was a record I was after for ages called ‘The Scorcher’ by Errol Dunkley. I finally bought it last week but that chase is never-ending.
“If I buy an original record from the 1950s or 60s, I guess I just feel a much closer connection to the album.”
Once the record fair wraps up at 4pm, there will be more DJs as well as the Sydney ska band, The AuSkas (pictured).
“When it comes to ska, these guys are up there with The Specials and The Selecter and one of their members [Marty Fabok] was in the legendary Australian band, The Allniters,” Phelan said.
If that wasn’t enough on the Sunday, Wickham Motorcycle Club will be hosting a recovery breakfast and Phelan encouraged any local scooter enthusiasts to get along to show off their wares.
“The recovery breakfast, which kicks off at 10am, is a great chance for everyone to meet up and talk about records, but I’m also hoping that people bring along their scooters – there is a scooter culture in Newcastle that is gaining popularity and we’ve got a few guys coming up from Sydney, such as the ‘Ardy Normal scooter crew, so it should be a really good way to see off the weekend.”
Catch the Reggae Got Soul Newcastle Weekender on Friday, July 26 at the Terrace Bar, Saturday, July 27, at the Wickham Croatian Sports Club and Sunday, July 28 at Wickham Motorcycle Co. Interested stallholders should contact Jeff at SNAFU Records on 4020 7082.

T here’s no denying that when it comes to the pantheon of Australian music, there are few who possess as much lyrical
deftness as Paul Kelly.Anyone who doubted this fact would
have been laughing on the other side of their face last year when Kelly released his 19th studio album, among one of his best, ‘Spring and Fall’.
Kelly recently said on stage in the US, where he is currently touring to rave reviews, that ‘Spring and Fall’ is “a song cycle, which is just a fancy way of saying, if you listen to the songs in order, they tell a story. Each song links to the next and the whole piece is a love story told from multiple points of view.”
Kelly will soon be coming back to Newcastle as part of his highly
W es Carr’s latest incarnation, Buffalo Tales, will come to life in the coming
weeks, as he takes the album ‘Roadtrip Confessions’ on a roadtrip of its own that is set to swing by Newcastle.
‘Roadtrip Confessions’ is a mesmerising collection of thirteen acoustic based songs, loosely based around the soundtrack to a fictional road trip, where interludes punctuate stops along the way. Produced by Stu Hunter (Sia, Julia Stone, Katalyst, Passenger) at The Habitat in Sydney, it features the first single ‘Amsterdam’, a high- energy, rollicking good time.
Catch Wes Carr’s Buffalo Tales at the Kent Hotel on Saturday, June 29.
Buffalo has wings
anticipated national tour in support of ‘Spring and Fall’. The tour will see Kelly performing the new album in its entirety, followed by a healthy selection from his formidable back catalogue.
Kelly will also be bringing a band with him that includes Dan Kelly on guitar, J Walker, who co-produced the album, Zoe Hauptmann on bass and Bree Van Reyk (Holly Throsby, Seeker Lover keeper) on drums.
As an extra special treat, Australian Music Prize nominee, MC and producer, Urthboy, will be opening the show. Kelly and Urthboy first collaborated in 2008 when the MC reworked Kelly and Kev Carmody’s track ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’ to celebrate the Australian Government’s apology to the Stolen Generations.
This one is going to be huge, so get in early to avoid disappointment.
Catch Paul Kelly when he plays at the Civic Theatre on Monday, August 5. For complete tour and ticket info, visit livenation.com.au.

A fter hitting the scene hard with the swirling psychedelia of their debut EP ‘Strawberry Situations’, Sydney-based
outfit Love Parade have shifted direction into more power-pop territory for their new album ‘King Me’, which Newcastle punters are sure to find out when the band launch the album at the Lass O’Gowrie this weekend.
Frontman Nathan Jolly told TE that while ‘Strawberry Situations’ was a kind of statement of intent with all of its ‘Nuggets’-esque goodness, ‘King Me’ was a much more focused effort and would showcase a band that was eager to explore new territory.
“It’s great to finally have the thing out, as it was such a long process to record,” he said. “It was the first time that we had recorded something with a producer in a proper studio...we were more focused.
“I’d say that the stuff on the new album differs wildly – when we first got together we were all quite influenced by that 1960s psychedelia and we were essentially a pastiche of all of that stuff but, as we moved along, we found that we wanted to put a bit more variety in there and we moved into more of a power pop sound.”
Given that this is the first time the band has worked with a producer, it was a bit of a coup to secure the services of not only Robert F Cranny, who produced the first two Sarah Blasko albums, but also Midnight Oil guitarist Jim Moginie and Frenzal Rhomb frontman Jay Whalley to engineer the album.
“Yeah it was pretty amazing being able to work with those guys on a debut album,” Jolly said.
“Robert was just such a cool guy to work with and Jim and Jay, who engineered everything, just had so much knowledge and experience to offer. It was invaluable.
“Also, you get the impression of Jay being this crazy, loud punk rock guy, but he was just the opposite. He was the biggest calming influence on the album.”
Given that Love Parade met while studying at Newcastle University, it comes as no surprise that the prospect of returning to their old stomping ground is an enticing one.
“The Lass is such a great venue – one of the best venues for original live music going around,” Jolly said.
“We started off playing at the Lass and we always look forward to coming back.”
Catch Love Parade when they launch ‘King Me’ at the Lass O’Gowrie on Saturday, June 29 alongside Bigger Cages and Tommy 9 Fingers.

Gav’s powerhouse drumming and vocal prowess offers the scope of three-part harmonies and he always gives 100 per cent to the integral nature of the song. People say there is no substitute for experience – you be the judge. Flying Mare play music the way it should be played...with passion.

A 61-year-old mother of three, who loves her dogs, gardening and is a self-confessed tea-addict. On the face of it, Sally Morgan sounds like any other British baby-boomer.
That is, until you find out about her unusual ability to communicate with the dead.
With a long list of celebrity clients and successful television series, ‘Psychic Sally: On the Road’, broadcast in Australia on Lifestyle You, Morgan is touted as Britain’s ‘Psychic to the Stars’.
She has read for mega stars like George Michael, Katie Price and Natalie Imbruglia, but Morgan is perhaps but known for her four-and-a-half-year stint as a psychic medium for Diana, Princess of Wales. Morgan claims to have foreseen her tragic death.
“You know, she was terribly nice and completely and utterly charming,” remembers Morgan. “She had impeccable manners and was just incredibly gracious to whoever she met and she was the same to me in that way.”
Despite her global success, Morgan has never brought her show to Australia – until now.
‘Psychic Sally’ will be touring Australia throughout July, delivering messages to audiences in metro cities and regional towns across the country.
Although Morgan cannot guarantee a message for every audience member, she says she has no idea who could come through on any given night.
“What I say every night is that you ring the doorbell
to heaven by coming and thinking of a loved one.“I perform in front of audiences of two or three
thousand people and not everyone can get a message but I think their energy supports the other energy that’s coming through. That anticipation and almost positiveness of the evening definitely brings the messages in.
As much as Morgan has been able to offer messages of hope and comfort to grieving audience members across the world through her mediumship, her ability has often come under fire by critics.
In September 2011, audiences in Dublin allegedly heard a man feeding messages to Morgan via an earpiece from a room at the back of the theatre and the psychic successfully sued one publisher for £150,000 after it published an article claiming Morgan simply used cold reading and Google searches to fool audiences into parting with their cash.
Morgan says copping criticism is all part of the job.“First of all, I never wanted a high profile, it just goes
with a TV series, I found that out within half an hour of the first episode ever going out,” says Morgan.
“When you put your head above the pack a bit you’re going to get shot at, it goes with the territory.
“That, coupled with the fact that I do the work I do, I’m like a red rag to a bull for a lot of people.
“I think [critics] are always going to be there and in a way they have made me look at my work in a far deeper way and I’ve had to give explanations and answers, which perhaps I’d been lazy with over the years. In a way, I thank them for that.”
Catch Sally Morgan at Wests New Lambton on Tuesday, July 9.

W arning to people in the first couple of rows – things are about to get messy when the Hunter Region
Drama School’s production of the iconic gangster musical ‘Bugsy Malone’ takes over the Civic Playhouse stage these school holidays.
Set during prohibition-era Chicago, this gangster epic follows the rivalry between two hopelessly half-witted street gangs and the washed-up, well-intentioned boxer who steps in to take control of Fat
Sam’s gang and give Dandy Dan and his boys what they’ve got coming.
Director Charlotte De Witt told TE that the show would be a visual and comedic feast with a cast of some of the most talented young actors in the region.
“It’s a very slapstick, comedic gangster musical,” she said. “The cast is made up entirely of kids aged between eight and 17 – we’ve got 47 kids playing 96 characters so it’s quite a big production.”
The production will be using custard-shooting “splurge guns” and De Witt said she couldn’t vouch for the accuracy of everyone in the cast.
Catch ‘Bugsy Malone’ at the Civic Playhouse from July 3 to July 6.

T here’s little denying that Deborah Conway has, over the course of her 30-plus year career, has carved a niche as
one of the most prolific, powerful and evocative singer-songwriters operating in the country.
From her work with seminal Australian 80s pop outfit Do Re Mi, through to her formidable solo catalogue, Conway has never been an artist to shy away from a challenge.
It would make sense, then, that her latest album with husband and long time musical collaborator Willy Zygier, should contain themes and musical ideas that are pretty far removed from the world of throwaway pop.
The sparse, ethereal and deeply moving ‘Stories of Ghosts’ is described as “an unbelievers examination of Old Testament themes from a Jewish perspective, exploring the connections between ancient practice and modern life”, and Conway, who was raised Jewish, told TE that while the album resonated with universal truths, it was a very personal album for her and Zygier.
“I really never felt the need to talk about this kind of stuff in my music before,” she said.
“However, the last couple of years have been quite tumultuous for Willy and I – we’ve had a number of people around us who decided that they didn’t want to be here anymore and took their own lives – so the album was I guess a way of dealing with all of that.”
The starkly honest album has already generated comparisons to the likes of Leonard Cohen for its breadth of poetic scope and Conway said the writing process for this album was quite cathartic, and that her and Zygier were their own harshest critics.
“The process of music making is always cathartic,” she said. “I think
also, because we were really tough on ourselves while writing the album and the nature of the songs, the catharsis aspect was quite high. I think that any great writing has to come from the heart and if there is not a kernel of truth in there somewhere, you’ve lost your audience.
“There’s so much music out there and, to be honest, a lot of it is quite
mediocre, so, if you’re going to go to all the trouble of writing and recording an album, then doing all the publicity and touring and such, you had better make damn sure it’s the best possible thing you could have achieved at the time.”
Catch Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier when they play at Lizotte’s, Lambton on Thursday, July 4.

T hey may’ve been playing music together since they were children, but for brothers Oliver and Louis Leimbach, it took until
they could actually stand each other before they could play in the same band.
The result is the highly infectious and refreshingly organic five-piece Lime Cordiale, who are currently kicking some serious goals with their latest single ‘Bullshit Aside’ – the first single to be lifted from the band’s forthcoming sophomore EP, ‘Falling Up The Stairs’.
Frontman Oliver Leimbach told TE the EP, produced by formidable knob twiddler Daniel Denholm (Washington, The Whitlams, Billy Thorpe, Midnight Oil), represented a dramatic shift in the band’s recording approach with their
A fruity brew

first EP, ‘Faceless Cat’, being much more of a self-produced affair.
“Basically, we produced all of ‘Faceless Cat’ ourselves and this time we went all out and worked with a producer,” he said.
“It was a whole new process for us working with Dan [Denholm] as we explored many new sounds and ways of getting those sounds. Beforehand, I had various unnecessary rules about production, such as no effects or guitar pedals or anything like that but Dan, and our newest member Tim Fitz (keys/guitar), is quite into all that stuff and so we incorporated a lot of it into our sound which, I think, has opened everything up quite a bit. We spent a fair bit of time going through the songs in pre-production so by the time we hit the studio, we were just able to smash it out. It was quite a learning curve, but an awesome experience.”
The first fruits of the sessions ‘Bullshit Aside’ is an upbeat summery ska-infused rambler that has “feelgood hit of the summer” written all over it.
Leimbach said while they may have been at odds in their formative years, he and brother Louis are now essentially best mates, which makes the prospect of touring that much more attractive.
“We always played music together – we were kind of forced by our parents,” he said.
“We didn’t really like each other until we turned 18 and now we’re best mates – we’re even living together in Bondi.
“I’d played in bands since I was around 14 and in the end I just kind of said to Louis ‘C’mon, I need someone to play bass with’ and he said, ‘I’ll do it just as long as I don’t have to do any gigs’. Thankfully he’s gotten over that gig shyness now.”
Catch Lime Cordiale when they play at the Small Ballroom on Saturday, July 6.
