Review by Katie Elliott

The Red Book by Sera Beak is a must have for all you Goddesses out there – a book every woman should have a dog-eared, coffee-stained copy of on their bookshelves.

Being what some people call a spiritual seeker, I am always on the lookout for a good “spiritual” book. It’s a rarity for me that I find one that I can actually read cover to cover, without getting too bored and having to read something else in between. It’s also a rarity, being a young woman, to find a spiritual book that I can really relate to on all levels. The Red Book is the book I’ve been searching for.

Film review by Cate Montana

I wasn’t too sure I would like this film. The introduction to lead character Keith Bennet (played by Mark Thompson) wasn’t inspiring: he’s in a restaurant drinking too much scotch, being tight-lipped with a long-time friend and business partner.

He’s not much fun at home either. Removed, isolated and self-absorbed, Keith’s idea of an intimate conversation with wife Karen (Dana Delany) is joking about everything – his lack of interest in their son, his lack of interest in her, his lack of interest in life. Not surprisingly, in the first 15 minutes of the film, Karen gives him the ultimate ultimatum: He’s been acting strangely ever since his mother died a year ago, and it’s time to shape up or ship out. Get help or get going. He doesn’t seem to much care either way.
