Review Scene

Having formed in Glasgow in 1980, Del Amitri is largely the song writing vehicle for bassist
and lead vocalist Justin Currie.

There was a definite buzz in the air on the tram heading towards Docklands and Marvel Stadium in Melbourne this evening. Every time the tram made a stop, a new collection of young girls in feather boas, hot pink jumpsuits, pink cowboy hats and many sequins jumped on board.

Sting hit the stage running with the classic Police song Message in a Bottle. When you open with a song like that you know you’re in for a great night.

On the approach to Melbourne’s AAMI stadium there was a buzz in the air, considerably hot air as the temperature held steady at 30 degrees Celsius and the atmosphere was charged.

I’m not a big movie guy; I don’t watch many of them. So often, when I sit my body down and look at the screen, my eyes close as I become passive and relax, no matter how much I was looking forward to watching the movie. Well, this wasn’t the case with “The Cost” – the new Australian feature film from Matthew Holmes.
