PROTESTING, as I've said many times to my anarchist chums, has many forms. Some are more sexy than others. Some involve hollering, sign holding and end in arrests. These forms are totally valid; they make a difference, they help raise awareness and allow people to express just how angry they are over unfair practices/policies/laws. The Yes Men instead protests via identity 'exposure'. Instead of going to protests with "Bush Stinks!" t-shirts, our two fearless protagonists, Andreas Bichlbauer and Mike Bannano, simply dress up like uptight Republicans and talk to various assemblies of people about World Trade policies with stunning honesty.

VIEWING Prachya Pinkaew's Thai sensation Ong-Bak, one gets to witness a number of things: incredible feats of power and athleticism; shinbones made of Titanium; the laws of physics as Einstein knew them, defied. Now, if you're the kind of moviegoer I think you are, then this is the least you'd expect from the martial arts genre – the ability to levitate or somersault prodigiously now a wall-to-wall Post-it note on the public's mass consciousness.

WATCHING Old Boy, one wonders why the whole of Taranaki rolls out the red carpet when Tom Cruise comes to town, yet Park Chan-wook doesn't get so much as a mention on TV One's Headliners for shooting the surreal epilogue to (the Cannes Grand Prix winning) Old Boy in Aotearoa. Whatever the case, New Zealanders who missed Old Boy at last year's International Film Festival have the opportunity to repent their sins by making their way directly (do not pass "go", do not collect £200) to the film upon its release on the 14th of April.
