Conspiracy 365 is a cool new Australian TV show based on the books of the same title by author Gabrielle Lord. The show's quite nicely shot, and the acting isn't bad, either; it's got a couple of big names attached, as well as some previous unknowns who do quite well.
The show's a bit choppy at the beginning, flipping between dates with a little too much regularity, but we suppose it was mandatory to set the scene within the space of about two minutes, right? The prologue features the main character, Callum Ormond (hereafter known as "Cal"), being hauled around by baddies who want information -- and when he can't tell them anything, they throw him into a vat of oil. Promising beginning!... More >>...

Fortress
Stars: Rachel Ward, Sean Garlick, Marc Aden Gray, Rebecca Rigg, Peter Hehir | Written by Everett De Roche | Directed by Arch Nicholson
It is morning in the one-room schoolhouse in the Australian outback. The young teacher, Rachel Ward (The Thorn Birds, Against All Odds), calls her class to order. It is a day like any other until the unexpected occurs. Four masked gunmen break into the schoolhouse, kidnap the teacher and her class and transport them to the countryside. Terrorized and abandoned, the victims come to a shocking realization – only they can save themselves from an almost certain death.
Fortress is one of a number of 80s movies which I knew by reputation but have never actually seen, so when I heard Mediumrare were releasing the film on DVD this month I absolutely jumped at the chance to see the film – and I’m so glad I did. Fortress officially...
