Sydney Film Festival Day 12 Review Wasted On The Young

Wasted on the young follows what appears to be a familiar story - well off private school kids with lots of cash, super invulnerability and no supervision (Even at school?) throw a party and things get out of control.

The aftermath of rumour, revenge and violence is played out over the remainder of the film. Sometimes imagined, sometimes real. The use of technology by these kids is cleverly embedded without being jarring or taking you out of the story.

Some great ideas and I think all of them made it to film - chaotic and overdone I really just wanted one ending not the seven we got. The director has great potential and future offerings should be watched with anticipation.

For Your Listening Pleasure (Sydney Local Bands of the late 80's)

This evening I need to be alert for work phone calls so some Retro Music from my past. Though i wouldshare some of it.

All of these bands were local Sydney Bands that played in and around the pubs and clubs of Sydney in the late 80's (and a few even lasted into the early nineties).


Falling Joys - Lock It



Falling Joys - You're In A Mess




The Clouds - Soul Eater
