Watch - DVDs, Movies, TV Shows

WATCH is SixThousand's guide to movies in Perth. While we focus on art-house and independent releases, we never shun our secret pop-culture pleasures. WATCH also has its fingers on the pulse of film-festivals and specially programmed events and we give tickets away every week. We have also been known to organise special preview screenings, which we always chicken out of introducing on the microphone before the previews start playing.

The White Ribbon

The White Ribbon

I once endured a Michael Haneke retrospective at ACMI with double bills by the master-director playing over four weeks. Each and every title gave me a chronic case of the heebie-jeebies. Watching them back-to-back left me punch drunk.

Haneke's Palme d'Or winning The White Ribbon is no different.

French Film Festival

French Film Festival

Ah the French Film Festival. Automatically there's a high bar right? After all France is considered the birthplace of cinema, not just of stripy shirts and carbs. This year's festival pulls out the big guns as well, including one of the most anticipated biopics of the year: Gainsbourg - all about ol' Mr Fistful of Gitanes himself.

Alice In Wonderland

Alice In Wonderland

So many people must say to Tim Burton, "You should totally make a movie out of [insert colourful, absurdist text with childlike hero]!" Well, Alice In Wonderland is a very good impression of a Tim Burton film. The CGI-heavy product design looks an absolute treat, and Burton has fun with 3D technology, especially in the ‘down-the-rabbit-hole' scene.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

The Men Who Stare At Goats

This shaggy comedy is loosely based on an incredible true story: the US Army's secret elite squad of Jedi-like psychic warriors. It's pretty much an excuse for Oscar-nominated actors to clown about like doofuses. Actually, I've always preferred George Clooney's wild-eyed slapstick (Burn After Reading, O Brother Where Art Thou?) to his suave roles.

I'm typing this from a booth at Oxford 130 - the precise location where I first met Russ Pirie. It was immediately evident that Russ believes ‘all the worlds a stage'. He'd bus the tables sottoing show tunes. He'd flamboyantly mock a little two-step to avoid a customer. He'd call me ‘darling'.

A Single Man

A Single Man

Fashion designer Tom Ford's directorial debut is high modernism at its most mannered and hallucinatory. Perhaps Ford means to express the increasingly unreal quality of life for a man who's decided to die. But secretly, I think he's just wallowing in aesthetics. That scene with the topless tennis players is a bit much.

66A Church Rd

We're all about creative types here at 6T but it's fairly safe to say that loan officers aren't. To the beige pants behind the glass screen, "installation artist" doesn't exactly scream "mortgage material". For most creative types (prior to hitting the big time) there is undoubtedly going to be a world of renting to inhabit.
