CONCERNS OVER GANG WARS IN SYDNEY
Last night two men, aged 24 and 25, were gunned down without warning near some of the city's most exclusive real estate.
The search is on for four men who police believe are responsible for the killings in Sydney's Rocks area. They were last seen at Narrabeen at 12.30 on Monday night.
Police say there were more than 30 shots fired and the gun used was a sub automatic hand gun.
Police are concerned that this will start a gang war in Sydney but assure the public that they will do all they can to stop this from happening.
Opposition leader, John Brogden took a swipe at the government saying,
"Bob Carr has finally ran out of excuses its time he does something about this before more people get hurt his policing strategies aren't working when gangs are shooting near high tourist areas. "
Brogden continued by pointing out that, "These days any one can buy a gun we need to some how stop this from happening otherwise more people are going to die because of all this lunatics. "

State of play film review
State Of Play
Directed by Kevin Mcdonald
State Of Play was based on a British TV show I haven't seen but I must say this movie was quiet brilliant.
The story plays out as follows:
Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is a fast rising star in government and is soon to be a senate hearing chairman but his life turns upside down when his resarch assistant is killed.
Journalist Cal McCaffrey (Russel Crowe) investigates the accident along with the murder of a junkie on Washington's mean streets. McCaffrey treads the fine line between maintaining his long-standing friendship with Collins while remaining committed to the demands of his editor Cameron (Mirren).
As McCaffrey and hot shot reporter Della Frye (Mcadams) discover the connection between the murders they sink deeper and deeper into a dangerous world of conspiracy and political intrigue.
As the fleshy, flawed McAffrey, Crowe manages to avoids the trapping of playing a classic antihero. Crowes's McAffrey is both hack and friend, constantly torn between journalistic integrity and a desire to protect his old mate from the vultures he works with.
This movie wasn't all about Russel Crowe (though he did pull off a brilliant performance), just as good was Ben Affleck while Rachel McAdams,Robin Wright Penn and Helen Mirren are all consistent.
I give this movie 4 stars out of 5
