'The Wonder Years' was a social commentary on lives of ordinary people trying to live their life in an ever changing world. I doubt that there has been a TV series that has been so successful in doing so, before, or since 'The Wonder Years'. Even though it was set in the USA, I could continuously draw parallels to life in Australia, which probably why it was so successful in this country as well. A great TV series & one well worth watching.

Andy Hardy Meets Debutante
(1940)
A Pure Delight!!!!
28 August 2000
A movie made 60yrs ago, is still one of my favourites. If you want a light-hearted comedy, superbly acted & directed this may be the movie for you. Judy Garland was beautiful (as ever!) & her radiance in this film is one of the highlights. One could wax lyrical for ages about this film, but I won't. Just when you get the opportunity to view this film, do it. You won't be disappointed.
Saving Private Ryan
(1998)
Raising The Standards
15 June 2000
Its hard after viewing 'Saving Private Ryan' not to feel numb from the experience. It's not a pretty movie, from the opening battle shots your senses are assaulted by the violence & terror that men facing death must feel. 'Saving Private Ryan' has raised the standard in presenting war films in a factual, non-propaganda style. Watch this movie & feel for all those who have given their lives defending what they believe as right, you just might realise how lucky we are!!
The Partridge Family

Time has treated it well

Recently I've had the pleasure of watching re-runs of this quite pleasant television show. While it never dealt in-depth with earth shattering issues, it was well performed, well crafted & had some great songs that showcased the era. Some may find it sappy & over indulgent, but take it for what it was, a light comedy for teenage viewers. Also the show did pick up three 'Golden Globe' nominations, so some in the industry must have been of the same opinion!
