It’s been one year since Australia implemented a controversial vaccination policy — if your kids aren’t vaccinated, you won’t receive a child care stipend — and it appears to be working: According to Brisbane’s Courier-Mail, nearly 200,000 children who were not previously vaccinated were immunized in 2016.
The ‘No Jab, No Pay’ policy took effect on Jan. 1, 2016, and requires children under 20 to get all relevant vaccinations under the country’s National Immunization Program for parents to receive up to $11,000 in child care benefits, including the Australian Child Care Benefit, the Child Care Rebate and the Family Tax Benefit Part A.

Director Greg Hunt (Manhunt) premiered this harrowing documentary surrounding different parts of the Arab Spring at Sundance this year to a largely positive reaction and it’s obvious to see why. The film follows three groups of people fighting against three different regimes in their own way: Muhannad (sadly passed away) and Osama from Libya, Ghassan and Motaz in Syria, and Maryam and Zainab in Bahrain. Interviews with the individuals are intercut with quotes from such revolutionaries as Mandela and Che Guevarra, as well as gritty on the ground footage from each area and news clips showing the violence and devastation in each country and the international reaction to it.
This is definitely not the faint-hearted as you might expect with footage from the Arab Springs protests. One particular scene involved a girl singing about peace with a smile on her face before what looks to be a car bomb...

5) The Flaming Lips & Bon Iver “Ashes In The Air”
Kicking off this week’s 5 Best Music Videos Of The Week is the latest from both The Flaming Lips and Bon Iver. This collaboration caused quite a stir and the video created an even bigger outrage. The pairing of The Flaming Lips and Bon Iver on paper sounds really cool and promising but in reality the outcome is a bit too weird and disappointing. The video follows the adventures of an astronaut which feature splattered brains and half-nude figures. This is probably the strangest thing the Lips have placed their name against in a decade.
4) Tyler, The Creator “Ifhy”
Directed by Wolf Haley
Technically, this was released last week but I couldn’t find a spot for it so it gets a mention this week. This is the second single off “Wolf” and even weirder and better than the first. I...

Breaking: David Seidler, who won the Oscar for his The King’s Speech script, has signed with Wme. Seidler famously waited 28 years for the Queen Mother to die after she asked him not to make a movie out of King George VI’s story because memories of WWII was too upsetting for her. He turned his work into a play, which is how the project got to director Tom Hooper. That play will be opening on March 27th at London’s West End Theatre. Seidler, who’d been at UTA, also wrote Games of 1940 and The Lady Who Went Too Far, both of which are out to directors. Seidler continues to be managed by Jeff Aghassi and represented in the UK by Greg Hunt.
