This movie is a great mix of history and humour, which Robin Williams delivers brilliantly. Set in late 1944, it tells the story of a Jew living in his hometown that the Germans have taken control of. When he is sent to a German officer's office for being out after curfew he hears a report that the Russians are heading in his towns direction and thinks they may free him and his town from the Germans. The next day he tells his friend what he heard, in confidence, but doesn’t believe Jakob heard it on a German radio and believes Jakob has his own radio (Jew's were forbidden to own or listen to radio's, and rarely return from German office's,). Once the rumour spreads that the Russian's are coming and that Jakob has a radio, the town keeps asking for more Information. Jakob has to make up information since no one believes he doesn’t have a radio and the information brings the Jew's hope. Meanwhile Jakob has taken in a little Jewish girl who has escaped form a train heading to the gas "showers" and must also keep hidden from the Germans. Just a great story of Jewish life in the war without to much war violence.

Great Game
4 September 2003
I brought this game on Xbox because I couldn't get it in New Zealand on Gamecube and I heard that PS2 cut bits out of it, boo. but this game is the best sport games ever, up there with tony hawk2 (haven't played 4, and 3 wasn't that good). I had to get a cheat to pass the 3rd level, just to hard for now. the biggest difference between Tony Hawk and bmxxxx is the XXX in the title. In the game you have to help hookers, pimps and homeles guys. and if you collect coin you get to see real strip tease, cool. another thing is you can make your rider, eg big tits and wearing very little, or guys wearing very little, what ever your into, oh and the tricks are easy to pull off. in case your wondering why I even looked at the game in the store, it wasn't because of the XXX, it was the sticker saying "Banned In Australia", I'm not kidding.

worst bond ever
9 July 2003
people say moonraker was the worst bond ever, nope DAD is. its bond for the 21st centrey and the worst (i hope) for the 21st centrey. when i heard that a new zealander was taking the helm i tought oh no, but there was the guy who did Goldeneye so i tought "can't be that bad". WRONG. frist the car, nothing wrong with it, cool guns and things but invisble??? come on people. then theres the sex scene with Jinx, not bond stlye. for people that saw the movie and know how a bond movie should go the scene should of ened with the wine glass's. and last the bit with moneypenny, very funny but imposable, should of been in the new star trek movie on the holo deck. and the story, with the sun lazer, or something?? naa. but all that aside, Pirece still rocks and the car crase kicks ass, see the movie for the car crase, best bit and best movie car crase, i think. and the Q bit with all those Q inventions from the past.
one more thing, they should left the Goldfinger lazer scene alone, too many lazers
