Monday was something of an epic day. Started with uni, pizza at the Coq, Screen Worlds to play Rhys and Lachlan at oldschool Quake, met up with Pete, back to Prahran, Grill'd for dinner, back to Pete's place for a bit, city again, Toff in Town, met up with uni people again. And then? Watched Vince's band 'Underground Lovers' play. It was a great gig, the place was packed, and there was beer. Should be good checking them out at Homebake in December. After that, raced off quickly and just managed to get the last tram home.

'Switch' (1991) directed by Blake Edwards

Bizarre comedy about a chauvanistic guy who dies and then gets sent back to Earth in the body of a beautiful woman. I don't know if I misunderstood this, but it seemed like much of the plot hinged on the main character getting raped by his/her best friend and then that being presented as an okay prelude to a marriage. (A marriage that the heterosexual male-trapped-inside-a-female's-body is fine with, despite cringing when the priest utters the words "you may now kiss the bride"). Very strange. I may have totally misread the plot, but this all seemed pretty odd to me, given the light tone of the film.

'Interview' (2007) directed by Steve Buscemi

This film plays out like a theatre piece. It's basically about a political journalist who has been sent to interview a Paris Hilton-esque movie star. The film focuses on the shifts in power between the two people, illustrating the constantly changing dynamics, the fronts that people present to each other and also the romantic tensions at play. It's an interesting film, the performances are quite strong, although the characterisation of Sienna Miller's character, Katya, seemed a little off.
