Think of the least sexy person in your life. What they are missing is not a bikini or pectoral muscles, but a Mexican accent. Luckily, the third annual Mexican film festival has burst into town and there's plenty of chance to practice rolling those r's. Now, for the duration of the festival or at least this film, the sexiest person in your life could well be Gael Garcia Bernal.

Why aren't more horror films set in Australia? We've got a whole continent of eerie, isolated landscapes and our fair share of psychopaths too. Hell, a bunch of us are even descended from criminals - all compelling fodder for a film. Well, now we can breathe a sigh of relief, and then suck it straight back in with horror, as all of these elements are brought together.

What are you looking for in a record store?
Funny albums hanging on the walls? Check.
An elaborate display of the monochromatic Smiths 7" and LP covers? Yes.

Cool band T-shirts declaring your undying love for The Modern Lovers, The Byrds, or The Replacements? Affirmative.
Ah, new things. Babies. Haircuts. Sarah Palin jokes. So superior to old things, like floppy disks and elderly people. At New Theatre this month you can indulge this passion for all things fresh off the block with a season of new Australian writing from emerging and established writers. Theatre gems including Hillary Bell, Nick Parsons, and Noelle Janaczewska dish up pieces ranging from monologues, short plays and surrealist farce to cabaret comedy, in a project to celebrate and nurture new local work and theatre workers.

Animation in café windows...installations in a carpark...world music in pubs...books at a wine bar. Where the hell are we!? Melbourne!?
It seems Sydney can put on a fine arts show of the less-established variety. Some might say underground, which would be fitting as one of the venues is the Domain car park.
