TWO MEN KILLED, FOUR ON THE RUN.

TWO MEN KILLED, FOUR ON THE RUN.
BY REBECCA LANG
After two men aged 24 and 25 were gunned down without any warning this weekend near some of Sydney's most exclusive real estate, police are concerned about an outbreak of gang war.
Police are currently searching for four suspects in The Rocks area. They believe that the men had fired at least 20 shots from semi automatic hand guns at close range.
Anti-firearm lobby groups have called for initiatives to halt the spread of illegal hand guns in Sydney while the New South Wales.
Opposition leader John Brogen accused the Government of letting gun crimes spiral out of control. "Bob Carr has run out of excuses" Brogen said."His policing strategies aren't working when criminals think shooting people in highly populated, tourist areas is easy"

Mao's Last Dancer - David Stratton


Mao's Last Dancer (review of a review)




By Rebecca Lang

This review of Mao's Last Dancer by David Stratton is pretty much just a replay of the movie (though it does not go into detail and give away the ending).

For the first four paragraphs of the review, it only really states what actually happens in the movie. Though in the last two paragraphs there are actually David's thoughts of the movie, which to me came across as though he wasn't really paying attention to the story line of the movie opposed to being stubborn and picky with the actors chosen. :( Which I thought was just silly considering that it was an emotional roller coaster from my perspective.

We felt sorry for him, we cried for him and then for a finale we applauded for the sake of him getting his family back. I really like this movie and would recommend it to anyone who loves to laugh, cry, and applaud all in the matter of 2 hours. :)
