It's easy to be an expert

This is a little off topic, but was prompted by a recent CAD event. Sometimes you look at amazing work and think I could never do that. The thing is, you probably can as there is often only one difference between you and the expert and it’s never too late to change.

I once asked a fellow cyclist, on a South Island tour, how long he’d been biking. Since he was over 80, and still happily riding 80km+ per day, I expected the answer to be in decades…

“About 5 years”  was the reply.

  • Shane Jacobson: Kenny

    Shane Jacobson: Kenny
    To say it's Aussie Toilet humour is, well it's accurate, but doesn't do this film justice. Wonderful script, brilliant acting and finely balanced, like a teetering porterloo, mix of humour and pathos. It's nearly as good as "The Castle", my favourite Aussie film.

  • Christopher Nolan: The Prestige

    Christopher Nolan: The Prestige
    I didn't know anything about this movie before seeing it but it's one of the best for years. About illusionists, it is packed with constant twists and surprises. Add a great cast, direction and production and you have a must see.

  • Nick Park: Creature Comforts - The Complete First and Second Seasons

    Nick Park: Creature Comforts - The Complete First and Second Seasons
    Brilliance of "person-on-the-street" interviews coupled with aardman's outstanding claymation and subtle visual gags

  • Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up - Live

    Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up - Live
    It's their best performance, their best composition - recorded live in Korea.

  • Kevin Macdonald: The Last King of Scotland

    Kevin Macdonald: The Last King of Scotland
    Great performance by Forest Whitaker. Not pleasant viewing but much more interesting than I expected.

  • Todd Field: Little Children

    Todd Field: Little Children
    Don't expect a happy childhood story. It's confrontational and disturbing but also rewarding. Worth seeing for Kate Winslets performance alone.
