A sexy comedy of errors about a very modern family. The Allgoods are a close family experiencing life's typical ups and downs: 18-year-old daughter Joni (Mia Wasikowska) is heading off to Stanford University and starting to distance herself from her parents; 14-year-old Laser (Josh Hutcherson) is hanging out with a deadbeat friend who constantly leads him into trouble. The only difference is that this family has two mums. Jules (Julianne Moore) and Nic (Annette Bening) have been together for years, deeply in love, and had both children through artificial insemination.
This loving but strained home life is thrown into comic disarray when the kids track down their biological donor-Dad, Paul (Mark Ruffalo), and invite him home for dinner. Paul is a bachelor whose sudden longing for a family introduces an interesting sexual dynamic to the not-quite-ordinary equation of the Allgoods. At first Joni is so happy to have a cool, handsome dad like Paul. But soon enough she comes to realise that Paul is fun loving but lacks self-control and when he starts sleeping with one of her mums chaos reigns. |

THE END OF THE LINE Imagine an ocean without fish. Imagine your meals without seafood. Imagine the global consequences. This is the future if we do not stop, think and act. The End of the Line is the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans. In The End of the Line, we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food. The film examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, brought on by increasing western demand for sushi; the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish; and the profound implications of a future world with no fish that would bring certain mass starvation. The End Of The Line will screen at Luna on SX, Fremantle on Sunday September 19 at 6:30pm. The screening is presented by the Conservation Council with part proceeds of all ticket sales going towards their campaign. The evenings screening will be followed by a Q&A with Conservation Council Marine Coordinator, Tim Nichol. Tickets are available now at the Luna on SX box office and online. Adults $15.50 | Concession $11.00 Visit http://endoftheline.com/ |

Based on the remarkable life of iconic French singer, poet, writer and actor Serge Gainsbourg, the film is a surreal and evocative record of Gainsbourg’s youth growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris, when he was called Lucien Ginsberg, through to his transformation into the hard-living showman, enfant terrible and successful song-writer of the '50s and '60s (famous for his glamourous lovers including Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin), to his notoriety in the '70s and '80s. We glimpse the fantasy world that drove his inspiration, the women he loved and lost and most of all, the music that made him a legend.

1968 Rita (Sally Hawkins) lives in the UK town of Dagenham and, like many local women, she works at the Ford plant stitching together seat covers. It’s intricate work carried out in sweltering conditions. So why, she wonders, are the workers paid the same as unskilled labourers? Is it because the work is unskilled? Or is it in fact because they are women? Made in Dagenham shows how, at some expense to their family lives, in a country already crippled by strikes, and with a little help from colourful political firebrand Barbara Castle (Miranda Richardson), the Dagenham women managed to overturn an age old hypocrisy. Imagine An Education with a Norma Rae sensibility, Dagenham also stars Bob Hoskins, Rosamund Pike, Richard Schiff and Rupert Graves.
