One of the most popular Aussie movie in years will be screened this Saturday night by the Magnetic Island Film Society. It is Red Dog and is sure to attract a wide range of movie lovers including, we suspect, many who may be wanting to see it for a second time.

ABC's, At the Movies, reviewer, David Stratton said that, "Initial misgivings about a film partly financed by mining giant Rio Tinto, and which therefore not surprisingly presents a very glowing view of a mining community in the Top End, soon evaporate thanks to the genuineness of this emotion-charged story of a dog that wormed its way into the hearts of a great many people - the fact that this is based on a true story makes it all the better. The dog itself, played by a woofer named Koko, is a great central character, and the humans are good value, too." For more (Click here)
