...semi-autobiographical tale of rags-to-rap-stardom, promised everything that I look for in a film: drug-dealing, thugged-out raptors (rapper/actor), and a banging hip-hop soundtrack. Unfortunately, the film tells the same story we’ve heard hundreds of times in a manner suggesting that even 50 is bored. Disregarding the fact that “Get Rich” is a Shady/Aftermath production and Marcus (50 Cent) rolls with the same fat dude (Omar Miller) that B. Rabbit runs with in “8 Mile,” comparisons to Eminem?...

Lucire wants the TGA to write to every G.P. in the country - in the manner of the drug companies - telling them to recall all their SSRI patients and check them for side effects. Jureidini is worried that doctors with links to the drug industry - as consultants or advisers - may be influencing TGA policy on psychiatric drugs.

...young Bradman, he devised a simple solo game that soldered into his technique the basics of watching the ball and a straight bat. Like Ian and Greg Chappell, he had a brother who loved cricket as much as he did, and together they played till dark on all manner of surfaces, ever desperate to outdo each other. Both Steve and Mark Waugh became players of distinction. But while Mark was the more stylish, it was Steve who retired with a Test batting average of over 50, and Steve who became an Australian captain, with a 71% winning record...
