Hi Adelaide Cyclists,
This is my first thread posted to Adelaide Cyclists.
I'm beginning to work with some safety advocacy groups about safety for bike riding on shared roads. I want to test out a little list of priorities for cyclist safety when riding on shared roads (not including infrastructure measures) and I figure this group of experienced and constructive cyclists is just the spot to try the discussion. I'll put together the first draft of the list and I'd invite people to shuffle it, add to it, and discuss any points that are of interest. Mainly I want to see if a list can be ordered and agreed to the satisfaction of the majority, or not. It could turn out that there is some consensus, or that opinions diverge too much. Whatever the outcome, it will be valuable exercise for me and perhaps for others including policy-makers. The list is bound to be contentious. Please keep discussion friendly as possible. I'm not suggesting that every point on this list will get attention from policy makers but there has been talk about item 3 in media of late. My view is that it will never happen without first being preceded by 1 & 2.
NB: in order to avoid a long essay as my first post, I'm not going to defend every point at this time. Summary of my view is the simplest measures for prevention of accidents are top priority. No complex, hard to communicate ideas on the list. Also note it follows fairly closely the measures that are in place for motorcycles. Can elaborate as the discussion progresses. I'm sure that most people who do post on here will also be prepared to discuss/defend their own choices.
You will notice that top of my list is a daytime visible, wide angle flashing light. At this point I've got to disclose to those who don't know me that I am from a company called Niteflux and that we make a product just like this. This thread is not meant to be about our product. Please think about lighting standards in general.
OK, the list. Flame on! ;)
1) Minimum visibility standards (*standards for visibility required to be formally defined)
1a) daylight visible*, wide angle rear flashing light.
1b) daylight visible, wide angle front light +/- flashing
1c) bright clothing, vests etc, a flag. mostly redundant if 1a and 1b in place.
2) Ride straight and steady. Pay attention (never will be a standard for this).
2a) no mobile phones or ipods while riding on roads (can be legislated).
3) legislation for minimum passing distances between drivers and cyclists.
3a) at-fault rules for accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians. ie, pedestrians never at fault, cyclists never at fault against drivers, drivers always at fault.
4) roadworthy bike, (never will be a standard).
5) helmet (standards in place at present)
5a) body armour
6) health insurance, income protection insurance, life insurance.

Well said.
ditto, well said. after REAL driver training, two ways to teach drivers to SEE cyclists:
1. strict liability legislation -- make cyclists a type of threat, in that if you errantly hit a cyclist, you will be charged with risk of fine, demerit points, even loss of licence. motorists are able to see threats of other vehicles, yet unable to see current non-threat of a person minus the steel cocoon.
2. make it policy / procedure for police and courts to act when a cyclist hit -- ac members learnt this month that when a cyclist died after a car door was opened and hit him, the driver was not even charged for the offence of opening the door. was it edward who quoted the road rule?
Good post I agree.
Intrusive and discriminatory legislation by government against bicycle users is the last thing we ever deserved.
Letting people make their own decisions is what being free and human is all about, and far to often they deny our humanity and freedom. I am trying to do something to fix that by supporting the Liberal Democrats aka LDP.
Compulsory Road traffic education in our school system would also be a great idea.
Was desperately trying to call into a talkback radio show that was pushing for "driver education" in our education system.
Teaching students how to ride bicycles (on street) before they get their drivers license would be a great way to improve driver education. One small excursion/course a year would be a great head start.
Over 90% of bicycle fatalities involve motor vehicle collisions.
Just cause some cyclists treat the roads like a racing track it's not advisable - a helmet can't protect you from these fatal collisions - would you lie and tell them they are safe if they wear one and then lead them onto the road. ?
Would you teach kids to play soccer, tennis, or football in moving traffic !. Maybe teach them somewhere safe or not at all.
I don't get you Stephen. What are you saying? Wait until they are 16 years old, then chuck them in a machine and send them down a highway at 80- 100k's an hour? Thats a pretty messed up approach (although it is the way we currently do it).
Proper cycle training is generally progressive, it starts off road with theory (road rules and stuff) then moves to off street skill sessions.
The skill session provides people with an opportunity to brush up on skills, such as starting, stopping, swerving, shoulder checking, signalling, riding in groups (too and from drill sites) etc. Off street skills is also a risk assessment (the children/teenagers that don't pass the risk assessment don't get to go on street or around a park).
Only after the risk assessment is passed do you consider going on street.
Kids (primary school) Generally don't go on street, they stick to riding around parks and work on their skills in an off street environment. A kids class should however aim to make children aware of the hazards involved in riding on the footpath.
As year and skill levels get higher, the complexity of the drills increase, In other words, by the time a student is old enough to get a drivers license, they should be a competent on street cyclist.
Some schools (such as in the uk) Do their local Geographical and history lessons by bicycle, it works fine, but you certainly don't throw students in by the deep end.
Such traffic education programs already exist, they aren't compulsory, Its up to schools to sign up for it and its not a yearly thing.
If implemented appropriately, it can ensure people are competent road users before they even consider jumping in a car.
Sounds ok then - Just sounded a bit worrying starting them off on the actual road when at a young age they should be avoiding them especially busy roads - children as not as visible as adults and often far less traffic savvy.
The staged approach your suggesting is fine.
good to see some new activity on this thread over recent days.
I think that most people will agree that and driver and cyclist training from an early age will help. The effects of infrastructure change are harder to predict. But whatever happens, both these schemes are slow acting, over decades or more.
What action are AC members planning, or wanting, around improving safety in the short term. Over the coming months, or few years?
Enforcement of standards regarding safe access for cyclists, pedestrians and wheelchairs around/at programmed roadworks and infrastructure works, with the site managers, workers and company principals (including local government and Stete government departments) being penalised, without further warning. Demonstration of non-compliance should be sufficient for penalties to be imposed, and for works to be stopped instantly, until compliance is assured. (A degree of summary jurisdiction is required here.).
I am sure many have said, 1, 1a, 1b, 1c forget it, motorbikes had hardwired headlights for about 25 years, statistics showed no difference, why? because a motorist is looking for cars, will look straight at you and not see you.
2) ? most of us do, but I can suggest if I move out to pass parked car and there are other cars say 75m down the road, I won't pull back in but will remain out - much safer than weaving in and out of parked cars.
2a) Australian Road Rules state the driver of a vehicle can't use moblie phone, bicycle is a vehicle, rider/driver means the same thing - so cant use MP.
3) waste of time how do you prove the distance at time of offence?
3a) This has merit, similar to some of the more famous European countries who have high cycling participation.
4) Great idea for motor vehicles but if we get to a society where cycling is expected then no need as the consequences are no where near as dire as a motor vehicle.
5) we have compulsory helmets and many times I have said thank you to the helmet gods.
5a) we are cyclists not motorcyclists, that means we do work and get hot - body armour = death by heat stroke.
6) not sure what you want here, you can do all of that out of your own pocket now.
Education, big publicity campaign showing cyclists riding in the middle of a lane and motorists slowing, indicating and changing lanes to pass. Cyclist riding in the middle of the left lane on multilane roads showing motorists they belong there. Cyclists obeying all the road rules, ie red lights!!!!!! which then is not saying to motorists I don't obey road rules so that means yopu don't have to either.

Modelling the Stars
This short article is taken from the full article which is available here as a PDF file
From the beginnings of human awakening people have pondered at the amazing canopy of stars and at the movement of everything in the sky. Clearly there was order in the heavens. Many attempts were made to identify the patterns in this order. This had great significance to life, since through these observations and derivations of rules we have the beginnings of predictive science. We can predict the position of the Sun in the sky, the Moon, the timing of eclipses, the changing position of the planets and the stars. In an attempt to make these predictions easier, people from many great Civilisations have built different kinds of models reflecting in a physical form what they have seen. These models were built based on the perspective of the earth with a sphere of stars surrounding the earth. There were several kinds of models:
Muslim Astronomers took much from Greek astronomical calculations and models and improved on them in several ways making the measurements and predictions more and more accurate.
Celestial Globes
These were used to give observers a representation of the sky, dependent on the observer's location and time of day (position of the sun). This then enabled astronomers to use a consistent coordinate system and to solve problems involving stars and other heavenly bodies.
Many celestial globes were constructed up to the point of the sixteenth century, and many still exist today, but none prior to the eleventh century have survived.
You can see an animation of a Celestial Globe by clicking here
Using stereography, celestial spheres were able to be projected on to a 2D plane and form the important body of an astrolabe. They were based on the ecliptic, and divided into 12 portions, and each portion was given a sign of the zodiac.
The astrolabe has many applications, such as working out heights of inaccessible objects, time of day and its position on earth. This is all done by the use of clever tables and figures that are imprinted on both sides of an astrolabe.
Armillary Spheres
These used rings to represent the circles of the celestial body, i.e. the equator and ecliptic. They did not chart the stars, but were more concerned with planetary movement and position. They were not made with a solid sphere, but with several concentric rings connected in such a way to mimic the rotation of the earth and its surrounding bodies.

This is as fun as WI2 gets. Walk past The Shroud and Tony's Nightmare to an obvious, long gully in a rocky section of the canyon, about 20-30 minutes and past a prominent side canyon. The route consists of three steep steps separated by long stretches of snow groveling and low angle ice. The first tier is the crux and is about 45 feet long, and the remaining tiers get easier and shorter. The gully is about 400 feet long or so, but only three stretches are technical. This route is probably easiest to solo, because it isn't sustained, which is how I did the route, so I don't have good belay beta. The walk off isn't much fun-lots of bushwhacking and scrambling on the east side of the route. There are no fixed rap anchors in the gully. Eds. beware of avalanche conditions here.
A few screws, maybe some rock gear for belays. From Rob Griz: There are 3 anchors on this. The first is on the right, 2 bolt. The second is on the right on the tree. The third is on the left wall, 2 bolts, as you climb up. All are about 30-40 m apart.
Multipitch gully, so no toproping here.
First tier is in! Lot's of low angle ice up to a fun, thin mixed section at the 2nd headwall. Went about 3 pitches or so until it dried out. There is ice higher that looks fat but will require a fair amount of rock climbing to get to. Please climb early! Many parties getting on after noon....
Climbed 3 Tiers last Thursday. The first two pitches are in thick, though they get a little thin where it goes horizontal. The third pitch was thin, and so was the fourth. It was a nice fun solo, good for first day out. Candlestick/Ice Hose looked to be in from the road. The Shroud and Tony's were both mixed, though perhaps doable. Watch out for avalanche danger if you go this week; the past weekend's dump could make things gnarly.
Not sure if this made in via conditions reports but it seemed useful info: By word of mouth, there have been at least 2 avalanches involving climbers on Three Tiers this fall (2002). Both groups survived. One swept a climber a ropelength or so down the climb. Be careful. Lots of snow out there this year.
Climbed this one yesterday. Although the snow was coming down there was very little accumulating high up. Avalanche conditions that day were minimal to non-existant. The second tier has formed up rather nicely - fat and blue. If you stay to the left here its a solid WI3 for about 70ft. Also walked by the Shroud and the left side is about as fat as it ever gets for this time of year, the center curtain is touching down in several spots and the right looks solid. Didn't see anyone else the whole day. Fat, blue and plastic. Snow shoes are recommended, but not required.
If you keep going past the three teirs, the climbing becomes more interesting. Climb a 60ft rock face (5.5) their are two bolts on a good size boulder after the rock but seem suspect. The next pitch starts on slabby firglass to a 40 degree snow & ice field. Pitch 3 is the crux due to the lack of ice & protection. This has always been my favorite part of the climb. After this short section belay at a tree or continue up 50 or 60 feet of WI3 to a log belay. From here the climb becomes more committing due to the retreat facter. I have seen ice beyond this point, but it seemed very thin and unprotectable. However I did climb some 200 ft of rotten rock to the summit I will never repeat. I recommend climbing this very early or late season.If you go for the summit push, you can traverse into "around the corner" gully system and get down safer. This will be a long day & rewarding.M-5-WI3.
Climbed here on Sunday 11/21/04. Not bad. Still a little thin and the climbing is nothing hard, but hey, you can't really complain about getting in a lead before Thanksgiving!
21 Nov 06: I think the descriptions for this climb are inconsistent. Here is what I found (reference my photo's). Recommended for a long easy/moderate day. Expect a little rock climbing/scrambling (4th/5th class) and some serious snow slogging (beware of Avi conditions!). We climbed this route and found 5 pitches of ice. In order: Solo WI2-, Solo low 5th class, P1: WI2, P2: WI2-3, P3: WI3-4, P4: WI2-3, P5: WI2-3. Every pitch is full-length (200 ft.), and then some. Bring a 70m rope, plan to simul-climb, or set annoying belays. You can see P2 & P3 from the road as you approach (see pictures). P4 is 500+ ft. above P3 via a snow gully. It is hidden up and left. There are easier and harder ways to climb most pitches. The ice was good, and if you're masochistic, you can probably climb to the summit. We rapped after P4 (200 ft. rappel), then exited left above P3. I would recommend exiting left immediately after P3 (crux pitch) unless you plan to summit. After walking up just a little, you descend into the gully containing "Unnamed Gully", "Unnamed Curtain", and "Round the Corner". Choose your descent carefully so you don't cliff out. Also, beware of Avi conditions on this descent! Avalanche Danger: I have not taken a course, so my best guess is that it is 'okay' right now. I could see how this area could become VERY DANGEROUS. We snow-slogged up to our knees/thighs in some places at ~30 deg angle.
My photos are from mid November 2007 with almost no snow. This is a great early season warm up if we HAVE MINIMAL SNOW. Walk off left and you will hate the downclimb no matter what.
As of 11/22/2008, all three tiers have thick ice. The last pitch was almost an entire snow climb with little ice at the start. The descent is not too bad if you can locate the tattered red sling, down and climbers left when you reach the end of the snow. We climbed the route in (4) sixty meter pitches and used everything from 10cm-19cm screws with no rock protection. A great way to start the season.
Climbed first two pitches Dec 6, 2008 with partner Eric Rich. Lots of snow, thick ice, but running water & thin ice on the crux of 2nd pitch you had to step over; still, enough ice for solid screw. This route looks much better earlier in season when there was less snow, if it's been cold enough to set up well. There is a solid rappel station at top of second pitch now, because we added a sling and a rap ring there. If you have twin ropes, you could rap to the bottom. Otherwise...we rapped back to the top of P1, where my partner belayed me off of solid ice screws on a sketchy pitch out of the gully (climber's left) across steep, loose, snow covered rock, trying to dry tool under the snow (lots of fun...not!). Thank God there are some rap rings in the trees, after about a 60-70 foot traverse directly left from belay at top of P1 (not fun for the second either!), complete with rap ring, that allowed to reach stable snow below.
Found a radio on Three Tiers Nov. 25. If you can identify it, I will ship it to you. firstname.lastname@example.com
Soloed up just past the third step today. Thick ice the entire way. I even found the rap tree on my way down - slings and rap ring are in good shape.
Three Tiers in fat right now. Climbed the first pitch then rapped off due to a party of 4 climbing one at a time above. Small tree on looker's right had a sling and rap ring. On closer inspection, water knot was not finished and I was able to pull the webbing through the knot and rap ring on one tug. Pretty scary as someone rapped off it right before us. Take care in rappeling, remember to inspect the anchor.
Chris, when were you on the route? We toproped the first pitch on Monday early afternoon. There was also a party of 4 who climbed all three pitches that rapped down as we got started. They all rapped down off of that webbing / rap ring and at the end of the day I also rapped off it. I definitely checked that the water knot was tight and tugged and bounce tested it before coming down. My guess is that we showed up after you had already fixed the webbing, can you confirm? Just curious.
Hey Roj, sounds like you were up there after us. We went down after waiting for a little bit for them to clear the second pitch.
There are 3 anchor stations on the route. First is on the right, 2 bolt. Second is on the right on the tree. Third is on the left wall, 2 bolt, as you climb up. All are about 30-40 m apart. Please use them to avoid all the tat I find each year at the base. Learn to use cordless threads with your rope, they are just as strong, easier on your wallet and better for the enviro. Thanks!
A 70m rope will make your life MUCH easier if you choose to use the rap stations. A 60m sorta works but forces you to do some down climbing on each rap to get to the next anchor with rather large fall potential. If it's your buddy's 1st (2nd, 3rd, etc.) time ice climbing, (s)he will not be happy. More importantly, if it's a weekend or busy day, walking off is probably a much better idea for everyone than rappelling. The six(!!!) parties on Three Tiers today was enough of a Charlie Foxtrot to begin with, and three parties rapping while the others climbed made it much worse. The way down is more straightforward than a lot of the descents in Eldo and a couple short raps from trees tame the slabs (bring webbing). If no one is below, you enjoy the bolts, but if there's a party (or 2 or 3) coming up, it's easy, faster, and safer for everyone to walk off.
Climbed Three Tiers on 11/30/12. Lost (dropped) a BD screw! If found, please let me know :)

Rose Byrne Movies
Though Australian-born actress
Rose Byrne
made her film debut in 1994, when she played a supporting role in the eccentric drama
Dallas Doll
Sandra Bernhard
Jake Blundell
, her breakout performances within her native country were both on the small screen; namely, in the soap opera
Echo Point
and the long-running drama series
Heartbreak High
. After developing a fan base and gaining some critical recognition,
was cast alongside fellow Aussie
Heath Ledger
Two Hands
(1999), which featured the actress playing an innocent country girl whose would-be suitor has unwittingly found himself in the midst of a mafia scandal. Though she undoubtedly caught the eye of American filmmakers after
Two Hands
' premiere at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival,
wouldn't appear in an American film until several years later, when she made a very small appearance in a very big movie --
Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones
. However, before
Star Wars
starred in two little-known, but nonetheless significant, Australian parts, including her first lead role in
The Goddess of 1967
(2000), in which she portrayed a blind, emotionally unstable orphan, and
My Mother Frank
, which featured her as the unrequited love interest of a pining college student. After the 2002 release of
Attack of the Clones
could be seen in a minor but indelible supporting role in
Matt Dillon
City of Ghosts
went on to perform in two critically acclaimed Australian features --
The Rage in Placid Lake
(2003) and
The Night We Called It a Day
(2003) -- as well as the U.K. release
I Capture the Castle
(2003), in which she co-starred as the beautiful daughter of a once-grand English family. In 2004,
played a supporting role in
Wolfgang Petersen
's big-budget historical epic
, and went on to star with
Josh Hartnett
Matthew Lillard
, and
Diane Kruger

A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Guiding Ellen in this effort are two FBI agents (Mario Van Peebles, Glenn Kessler) out to entrap Patty in a bribery scheme. Two of the ways they try to get to her are through her second-in-command, Tom Shayes (Tate Donovan), and Uncle Pete (Tom Aldredge), her Mr. Fix-it (with no questions asked). Meanwhile, Ellen meets a sympathetic, if secretive man named Wes Krulik (Timothy Olyphant) at a grief-counseling session, and they're immediately attracted to each other.

The young heir to a family funeral home discovers that death can be quite a tricky business in first-time feature filmmaker Chaz Thorne's blackly comic tale of fate and formaldehyde. Oliver (Jay Baruchel) has just been called home to attend the funeral of his father, Rollie (Jeremy Akerman). Having not seen his recently deceased dad for some years now, Oliver is somewhat taken aback to view the old man's videotaped will and learn that he has been chosen as the one to inherit the family funeral home. In the video, Rollie spun a wheel to determine who would be the recipient of the once-thriving business, but in reality the patriarch performed 11 takes just to get the wheel to stop on Oliver's name. Rollie was convinced that Oliver possessed the power to bring the funeral home back from the brink, and it isn't long before the boy who fears death the most is managing the mortuary. Now, as Oliver does his best to overcome the financial roadblocks that lie ahead, thwarted heirs attempt to sabotage his efforts at every turn. Eventually, Oliver begins to seek solace in the company of enchanting mortician Roberta (Rose Byrne) -- who has worked at the funeral home for several years. When the frazzled new funeral-home owner accidentally runs over an eccentric pedestrian and Roberta reveals herself also to be the county coroner, it quickly becomes apparent to the duo that their unique relationship could serve to mask a multitude of sins. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Season 1 of this dense and time-tangled Glenn Close legal thriller begins with a flash-forward: %Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), a brilliant and, at that moment, very bedraggled Manhattan lawyer, has just discovered the bludgeoned body of her fiancé, medical resident David Connor (Noah Bean). An attempt on Ellen's life is made as well, and both attacks stem from her association with Patty Hewes (Close), a power litigator who uses devilish tactics to fight on the side of angels. Six months prior to David's death, Ellen joins Hewes & Associates to work on a class-action suit brought by former employees of Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), a corporate shark whom they accuse of selling his company---and their pensions---out from under them. As it happens, David's sister Katie (Anastasia Griffith), a talented young chef, catered a Frobisher event in Florida the night before he dumped his company's stock. Katie also had a fling that night with waiter Gregory Malina (Peter Facinelli), who is later befriended by Frobisher's lawyer, Ray Fiske (Zeljko Ivanek), whose folksy Southern charm masks demons. As the Frobisher case plays out over the season, Ellen is arrested for David's murder; Patty's loyal No. 2 at the firm, Tom Shayes (Tate Donovan), struggles to emerge from under her shadow; and a number of characters emerge from the shadows, notably "Uncle Pete" McKee (Tom Aldredge), Patty's avuncular Mr. Fix-it (and her actual uncle), George Moore (Peter Riegert), a former SEC official with ties to Frobisher, and freelancing NYPD detective Rick Messer (David Costabile). ~ Paul Droesch, Rovi

The devastating rage virus that annihilated the British Isles mysteriously resurfaces in Goya Award-winning director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's sequel to the Danny Boyle-directed horror hit that terrified audiences worldwide by offering a breathless new take on the familiar zombie mythos. Six months has passed since the rage virus caused British residents to indiscriminately murder and destroy everything in their paths, and now the U.S. military has declared victory in the war against the rapidly spreading infection. As the reconstruction process gets underway and the first wave of refugees return to British shores, a family separated by the devastation is happily reunited. During the initial outbreak, Don Harris (Robert Carlyle) and his wife Alice (Catherine McCormack) sat holed up with a small band of survivors in a remote farmhouse. Their kids well out of harm's way at a remote boarding school, Don and Alice's outlook for the future is decidedly bright until all hell breaks loose in the country and Don just barely manages to escape the clutches of the infected. The joy of later seeing his son Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) and daughter Tammy (Imogen Poots) as repopulation efforts get underway in London is short-lived, however, when an innocent bid to reconnect with the past sets into motion a tragic series of events. Now, just as society struggles to sort through the rubble and rebuild London from the ground up, the virus that nearly destroyed a nation strikes back with a vengeance.

Writer and director Sofia Coppola puts a new spin on the life and times of one of Europe's most infamous monarchs in this lavish historical drama which fuses a contemporary sensibility with painstaking recreations of the look of the 18th century. Born to Austrian nobility, Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) is only 14 years old when she's pledged to marry Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman), the 15-year-old king of France, in an alliance that has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with love. Sent to France and literally stripped of her former life, Marie weds Louis, but to the consternation of the royal court, he seems either unwilling or unable to consummate the marriage while their advisors clamor for an heir to the throne. Young and more than a bit out of step with the new life that's been thrust upon her, Marie gives herself over to the pleasures of life in Versailles, knowing and caring little of the political intrigue that surrounds her. In time, Marie's trusted older brother, Joseph (Danny Huston), is brought in to coach Louis on the finer points of marital relations, and before long the couple is finally blessed with a child. However, as Marie tends to her children in the gilded cage of her palace and enjoys an affair with a Swedish nobleman, political power plays are throwing France into chaos, and the growing ranks of the poor rebel against the royals and their life of privilege. Also starring Rip Torn, Judy Davis, Steve Coogan, and Asia Argento, Marie Antoinette was given a controversial reception when it premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Homer's sprawling tale of love and war in ancient Greece comes to the screen in all its grandeur in this epic-scale adventure. In 1193 B.C., Paris, Prince of Troy (Orlando Bloom), has fallen in love; however, the beautiful woman who has beguiled him is Helen, Queen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), who is wed to King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson). While Helen is hardly immune to Paris' charms, this doesn't blunt Menelaus' fury when Paris steals her away from him. Menelaus' brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox), the power-hungry king of the Mycenaeans, is eager to expand his empire through Troy to the lands of the Aegean Sea, and he uses Paris' romantic slight against Menelaus as an excuse to wage an all-out war against the great walled city. Priam, King of Troy (Peter O'Toole), summons his armies, led by Prince Hector (Eric Bana), to meet the onslaught of Agamemnon's forces, but while the great city has yet to yield in a battle, Agamemnon has a formidable ally -- Achilles (Brad Pitt), a mighty and seemingly unstoppable warrior whose presence could tip the scales in Agamemnon's favor.

The second prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy takes place ten years after the events depicted in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace. Now 20, young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is an apprentice to respected Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Unusually powerful in the Force, Anakin is also impatient, arrogant, and headstrong -- causing his mentor a great deal of concern. The pair are ordered to protect Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), the former queen of the planet Naboo, now representing her world in the Galactic Senate. Someone is trying to assassinate her on the eve of a vote enabling Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) to build a military force that will safeguard against a growing separatist movement led by mysterious former Jedi Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). After another attempt on Padme's life, Obi-Wan and Anakin separate. The young Jedi and Padme fall in love as he escorts her first to the security of Naboo and then to his home world of Tatooine, where the fate of his mother leads him to commit an ominous atrocity. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan travels to the secretive planet Kamino and the asteroid-ringed world of Geonosis, following bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) and his son, Boba (Daniel Logan), who are involved in an operation to create a massive army of clones. A vicious battle ensues between the clones and Jedi on one side and Dooku's droids on the other, but who is really pulling the strings in this galactic conflict?
