Flint pieces (FP)

I watched 2025 Oz shark movie "Fear Below". Different! Set in the '40s, killer critter (giant bull shark) is in a river, part hard-edged crime drama, historical touches... The online scores are low, but I reckon you need to be Aussie to appreciate it.

MANGA OF THE WEEK

"DDD" still has the power to surprise and intrigue. Although it's not manga, I also enjoyed the bumper 90th-anniversary "Phantom" special - a solid mix of new and old yarns, plus an excellent essay on the character's enduring popularity.
