	Review of Phantasmagoria Memorial - Censorship Issues
		Classification of computer and video games to be performed in an identical way to the classification of films as they are no more psychologically harmful or have any less widespread appeal than that older form of popular entertainment.
		My list of demands stated above are not at all unreasonable, all they require is that a bit of much needed democracy and common sense be injected into the computer games censorship process to ensure the introduction of a much fairer ratings system for the benefit of all Australians.
		To allow the distribution of computer games containing content similar to that found in "R" (18+) and even "X" (18+ contains explicit sex) rated movies and restrict their sale to adults only as is currently done with videos seems to me to be the way to go.

	Karlovy Vary Film Festival
		Karlovy Vary experienced a brief resurgence in the wake of 1989's Velvet Revolution, which ended 40 years of Communist rule and allowed the festival to screen previously banned films, but that was followed quickly by 1993's Velvet Divorce, which saw Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
		Stability has allowed the festival, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, to simultaneously play host to A-list celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, honor acclaimed directors like Israel's Amos Gitai and attract dedicated film students who camp out in front of theater doors in hope of capturing free seats to sold-out screenings.
		The upgrade reflects East of the West's reputation for plucking great movies from obscurity and the fact that the film industry finally has moved beyond its 1990s crisis years in those nations.
