MUSIC REVIEW
AVAILABLE AUGUST 10

Demi Lovato
Here We Go Again
Demi Lovato had lofty goals for Here We Go Again: “I wanted
not only to make a great album, but I also want my music to
inspire people, to help them get through whatever they’re going
through in their lives. That’s the ultimate goal with every piece
of music I make.” On Here We Go Again, with ultra-personal
songs like the irresistible, buoyant title track, the hard-rockin’,
sultry ‘Got Dynamite’ and confessional pop perfection of ‘Solo’,
Demi met - and exceeded - her goals. The multi-talented 16year-old became a household name thanks to TV smashes - her
starring roles in the Disney Channel sitcom Sonny With a Chance
and movie Camp Rock - but, Demi says emphatically, “music is
my first love.”
Demi, who has written nearly 300 songs in her young life, was
beyond thrilled to co-write with the Grammy winner on her
second album. The pair worked up two songs in the studio,
collaborating on words and music, with the winning, thoughtful
We have three copies of the new
Demi Lovato album to give away!
Just answer the following question:
What is Demi’s first love?
Jot your answer on the back of an envelope and post to:
Demi Lovato Contest, Dry Crust Communications,
PO Box 3352, Richmond, Nelson 7050, with your name
and contact details, by December 18.
Or you can drop it in to: 3 Wensley Rd, Richmond.

ballad ‘World of Chances’ landing on Here We Go Again, and a second
tune saved for later. Likewise, she was excited to write ‘Every Time
I Lie’ and ‘Falling Over Me’ with singer-songwriter Jon McLaughlin,
admitting to being “totally star struck, but trying to act cool.”
MOVIE PREVIEWS
American astronaut Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first person
to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who
are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by
alien invaders...like Chuck!
Under the Mountain
10 December 2009
Teenage twins Rachel and Theo investigate the spooky
house next door, only to discover the Wilberforces
– shape-shifting creatures that lurk beneath Auckland’s
ring of extinct volcanoes. With the help of the
mysterious Mr Jones (Sam Neill) and their older cousin
Ricky, the twins must rekindle the unique powers they
once shared if they are to destroy this ancient evil.
The Princess And The Frog
31 December 2009
It is, of course, a fairy tale. The setting is New Orleans
in the Jazz Age of the 1920s. Tiana is a waitress at
the very bottom of the social ladder, until her life
is changed by a talking frog. The leggy character in
question turns out to be Prince Naveen, labouring
under a spell cast by the evil Dr. Facilier. Together they
begin a quest to get the spell reversed…
Fantastic Mr. Fox
7 January 2010
The classic Roald Dahl novel animates into life with
George Clooney’s honey and gravel tones bringing
the wily hero who must evade the clutches of three
dastardly farmers in order to provide food for his
furry family - and loses his tail in the process.
Alice in Wonderland - 4 March 2010
A combination of live-action and 3D computer animation will be used
to tell the story of a young girl, Alice, who falls down a rabbit hole into a
magical world full of strange characters. Johnny Depp continues his working
collaboration with Burton by playing the Mad Hatter.
We have two double movie passes to give away!

WE’LL SEE YOU THERE!
how to Make Stuff
Booooo Yahhhhhh
Who wants to have a go at creating the longest, slippiest, slidiest slidy thing you have ever thrown
yourself down? I see some hands up so here we go, hold tight, it’s gonna be wet and wild!
First - you need something to slide on.
There are a few things you can use. Try 4 or 5 black bin
bags all taped end on end to make a big black rectangle.
Another option is to get some old vinyl/lyno (have a look
in your dads garage or down at the tip). Last choice is at
the garden centre - they sometimes sell plastic sheets off
a big roll so you can get it as long as you like.
Second - get some soap.
Hand soap, dish washing soap, hair shampoo whatever. It
just needs to be slippy. The best bet is some really cheap
own brand dish washing liquid in a squeezy bottle.
Third - stretch the plastic/vinyl/lyno out
on the ground nice and flat. Grass is best. If you have
some old tent pegs then use these to pin down the
corners (be sure to push them right into the ground).
Fourth - squirt your soap over the plastic/
vinyl/lyno then add some water (from a hose pipe or
bucket). The more water the better so don’t be shy
with the H2O
Fifth - make like Evil Knievel and take a
massive run up to your slide. When you get there throw
yourself at it head or feet first and get ready to slide at
lightning speed down your supper slippery creation.
Warning - these things slide sooo fast that you are
likely to fly off the other end at about the same speed as
a speeding bullet. Make sure there is something nice and
soft for you to land on!

Ghost Ship
If you are out on a boat this summer, keep an eye
peeled for The Flying Dutchman. It sank in the 1600s
but its ghost is said to haunt the oceans.
In 1881, the crew of HMS Inconstant thought they saw
the ship.
In 1939, more than 100 people claimed to have seen
The Flying Dutchman as they sunbathed on a beach
near Cape Town, South Africa.
During World War 2, a German U-boat submarine crew
reported seeing the phantom ship.
In 1911, the crew of the steamer Orkney Belle
encountered The Flying Dutchman.
It was totally deserted.
Three bells were
heard and the
ghost ship
vanished into
the fog.
