...extinct megafauna (though many of these creatures were known already from deposits elsewhere in Australia), among them the rhinoceros-sized Diprotodon optatum, distantly related to the wombat; and the 3-m tall, 400-kg flightless bird Dromornis stirtoni, which had a beak large and sharp enough to tear the flesh off a kangaroo, if not as a predator then as a scavenger. Extracting the fossils of such creatures is harder than finding them. These palaeontologists aren't eggheads: they spend seven hours each day under a scorching sun levering boulders and smashing them open with sledgehammers. On the first...
...convince him that his mask doesn't disguise his identity; it is his identity. You see here the relative freedom a sequel can bring. The first film in a series is like an awkward first date. Once they are past the getting-to-know-you stage, writers can flesh out characters they could only sketch in the initial film. Any critic could name a fistful of follow-ups that outshone originals: The Bride of Frankenstein; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; The Road Warrior; Aliens; Batman Returns. In TV, improving with age is the norm: a good sitcom, whether...

...particular, who surely deserved to smile. And so the boisterous yet unnamed Howard relative was grinning, still, because his family was tangibly richer. But you could also easily tell that he was just truly thrilled—maybe even offensively so—for his own flesh and blood. I could imagine myself in his shoes. I mean, his cousin had just been picked over the Connecticut golden boy, Okafor. (“He’s so intelligent,” analysts must have blathered on about Okafor at least 50 separate times.) This man’s cousin?...
There's no blood in the streets of Sydney. But audiences looking to flesh out the Biennale's treatise, "On Reason and Emotion," need go no further than the S. H. Ervin Gallery on Observatory Hill, where "Australian Surrealism: The Agapitos/Wilson Collection" opens this week. "In Surrealism the fire of art and the ice of science have met," said Australian Surrealist James Gleeson in 1940. Gleeson matched Breton for evangelical fervor, and his gobsmacking canvases lay the foundations for this exhibition, which later travels to Brisbane, Armidale and Hobart...
