  (500) Days Of Summer

  (500) Days of Summer is an offbeat romantic comedy about a woman, Summer Finn, who doesn't believe true love exists, and the young man Tom Hansen, who falls for her.
  You are warned in the beginning of the film that it is not a love story. Instead you are lead down a path a little more reminiscent of real life and a little less Hollywood.

  Duke's

  A new addition to the Chapel Street, Windsor family, Duke's offers a delightfully large array of paninis for every taste preference.

  They have a breakfast menu, which is also on the gourmet side, and delicious, slightly famous coffee, which will satiate even the harshest of coffee critics.

  The Lost Symbol

  The Lost Symbol is the next addition to Dan Brown's fictional explorative phenomenons. His global success with The Da Vinci code is incomprehensible but no-one had expected that his third instalment (and follow-up to Da Vinci Code) would cause such a ruckus, selling over 1.1 million copies on its release last week. The Lost Symbol doesn't disappoint as Brown's storytelling is at its peak. Set in Washington D.C., Brown takes readers on a thrilling journey as Robert Langdon returns scurrying around hidden chambers and temples to unveil codes, secret societies and historical truths. Once again, Brown challenges readers to think outside the square with a fast-paced, action-packed tale and of course, many surprises. The villain in The Lost Symbol is said to be the most "terrifying to date"... exciting stuff!

  Kisschasy is having Seizures

  The third album, Seizures, from Melbourne band Kisschasy is already getting rave reviews as they haemorrhage some juicy tracks onto the air waves. The new album is showcasing a new sound. The foursome continue to encapsulate that gritty indie sound people love them for with a twist of more upbeat and poppy tempos. The relaxed "Let's get Personal" is a reflection of how the band is transforming beyond guitar one-hit wonders. Kisschasy are touring around Australia this month to support the new single, Generation Why. The band is making their appearance in Victoria for four shows starting October 7th.
