Movie review: 'American Hustle'

If you read the headline carefully, you won't be surprised to find that I'm positively gushing about David O. Russell's latest effort, American Hustle. Not only is it a perfectly cast film, it's one of the best 70s-era films I've ever seen.

Points for using that in a sentence today?

To the microbrewery or bust!

When traveling to Australia you’ll find two things out very quickly. First, Australia, specifically booze that isn’t subsidized wine, is very expensive. Secondly, non-craft, regular, Australian beers taste pretty horrendous. While I’ll take a Carlton Draught over a Bintang any day of the week, Australia’s cheap beers aren’t that cheap, and are much worse than what you find throughout the states.
