No Reservations

If you've ever worked in a kitchen or waited tables, No Reservations, will provide more laughable moments than for most audience members. In my first hotel job, I remember a burley Austrian chef, his clogs clomping across the tile floor, chasing a dishwasher through the kitchen with a butcher knife.

Fortunately for me I was the concierge so my duties were mostly restricted to the lobby and guestrooms.

Last night, I attended a screening of No Reservations, directed by Australians in Film Ambassador, Scott Hicks (Shine, Snow Falling on Cedars).

It was a completely enjoyable evening that made us all hungry for a good plate of pasta and quail with saffron sauce!

Australians in Film


Last night I attended Australians in Film's screening of Lucky You with Debbie Siebers, creator of Slim in 6. Unlucky us, Warner Bros. refused us entry until I took my camera back to the car. So I'm afraid there are no photos of the slim and vivacious Debbie. You'll have to check her out yourself at www.beachbody.com.

Fluffy film followed by Australian wine and nibbles. Chatted with Will, who plays Storm on The Bold & the Beautiful, and his Aussie friend, Andrew.
