Stars: Bryce Johnson, Alexie Gilmore | Written and Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait
Another week passes and yet another found footage film is out. Lately though I’d say I’ve been lucky and the ones that I’ve had to review have actually been good movies. Willow Creek is an interesting idea, hunting down Bigfoot at least pulls away from the usual ghost hunting that seems popular with found footage, and with a director/writer like Bobcat Goldthwait you can’t help but be hopeful that Willow Creek could be something just a little special.
When Jim (Bryce Johnson) and Kelly (Alexie Gilmore) decide to make a documentary about Bigfoot the best place to start appears to be Willow Creek. As they arrive though they soon find that the locals are not as welcoming as they would have hoped, and they soon find it clear that people just want them to leave.

Fairfax editorial editor Garry Linnell.
Staff at Fairfax Media’s broadsheet newspapers are to be given “refresher” writing courses ahead of a transition to a new newspaper format.
Mumbrella has learned that as part of the transition all reporters are being giving training in how to write with a “shorter, even more energetic style of writing”.
While some staff have expressed concern about the classes, which are being conducted by respected senior sub-editor at The Age Bruce Johnson, Fairfax editorial director Garry Linnell has defended the move.
“It’s not a training course in writing for a down-market tablet, as your informant suggests,” Linnell told Mumbrella.
According to emails sent to staff by both The Smh and The Age’s editors, Sean Aylmer and Andrew Holden: “The goal is a shorter, even more energetic style of writing, and cleaner copy. The session covers lively intros and getting the best out of direct quotes.

Chicago – Both rock ‘n roll and the California culture would be completely different without the sound and influence of The Beach Boys. One of the founding members of the legendary band is Al Jardine, who in 1961 was a schoolboy friend of Brian Wilson when he joined the fledgling group. Jardine has released a new solo album called “A Postcard from California” and embarks on a 50th Anniversary Tour with The Beach Boys starting later this month.

“A Postcard from California” is Jardine’s first solo album, which showcases his personal style combined with the classic renderings of “The Beach Boys sound.” This is a love letter to his adopted state (Jardine was born in Ohio) from someone who contributed mightily to the California dream. Most of the songs were penned by Jardine, and many of his famous friends took part,...
