Love is in the air

I'm very excited but a touch nervous about being MC at a wedding for two wonderful friends... I cannot wait to suit up though and give this roll my best effort... I just love it when two wonderful people find each other and just know they want to be together... It is indeed a perfect day for such a perfect event...

Aussies be proud... Just watched one of the best Australian movies ever...

Who has seen The Dressmaker? An Aussie film from 2015 (I think) which I strongly believe we should all be very proud of. It has a very grown up Kate Winslet as leading lady who has shown she is very much moved on from her role as Rose in Titanic. It is a film like this which makes me proud to announce Kate is one of the best Australia has as an actor at the moment (even though my wife has correctly informed me she is British born and raised)… See Kate is so amazing that we Aussies should adopt her as we have so many overseas talents. The supportive cast in The Dressmaker is also outstanding with the idea of the remote country town with a dark secret successfully reflected. My favourite character in the film would have to be Hugo Weaving though... Genius...

This is a fantastic film which takes its viewers through a true roller coaster of emotions... At times a very dark film it is certainly not one for the feint hearted. My wife and I watched it on a romantic night in... It was not at all what I initially expected it to be but The Dressmaker did not disappoint and was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. One that all Australians should be proud of.

Easily five stars... Certainly not cursed, Kate and the rest have a true gem on their hands... I'm also proud to know that this wonderful film is based on the novel of the same name... Something I'll be looking for on the shelves of my local library expecting a juicy read...
