Cinephilia: Opening This Week
- The Wellingtonista
- If you are at all interested in the future of cinema technology, the energetic retelling of dark age Norse legends or theme park rides then Beowulf 3D is the thing for you this weekend. The 3D version only screens at Readings and I understand from Roadshow, the distributor, that only two cinemas in New Zealand are equipped to screen it: Readings at Courtenay Central and Hoyts Sylvia Park in Auckland.

Nicked!
- The Wellingtonista
- The above piece of artwork is part of a series entitled Eye Candy and was skilfully hand painted by resident Wellington artist, Brad Williams aka Slope, and until sometime during the 31st of October, was on display at (best late nite venue nominee) Sandwiches. On which date it was nicked - during daylight hours - and both the Sandwiches lads and Slope are understandably upset.

To stand or not to stand, that is the question
- The Wellingtonista
- t's not easy to keep your balance on a trolley bus if you are wearing vertiginous high heels or are weighed down with shopping. It can feel like surfing rather than just riding the bus. But spare a thought for those whose seatlessness is more than just an inconvenience. In recent months, this Wellingtonista has noticed her protruding baby bump doesn't get her a coveted seat on a packed peak hour bus.
