Cate Blanchett launches short film competition

So nice news, Cate is such a sweetheart, acts like this make me admire her even more :)

Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett is urging Australian children to pick up a video camera and raise awareness for youth homelessness.

Blanchett was in Sydney on Wednesday to launch the The Oasis: Homeless Short Film Competition to coincide with Young Homelessness Matters Day.

The national competition is asking students to make a three-minute short film about homelessness.

Ms Blanchett says the competition will help young people become more aware of the struggles less fortunate children go through.

“Film and theatre and the visual arts I really strongly believe have an exceptional and unique capacity to spread important social issues and help produce change in our community,” she said.

“I’d like to encourage school students both primary and secondary to not only pick up a camera and participate in the competition but to use the education resource and to delve into the issues and make outstanding films.

Blanchett’s dark side: Hanna is entertaining but offers few surprises

First reviews from Hanna By Ashley Lindstrom :) I want to watch it so bad!

The most apt cocktail party description of Hanna might be The Bourne Identity meets Blue Velvet — but that makes it sound enticing, doesn’t it? Sixteen-year-old Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is a towheaded Jason Bourne, Jr., the unwitting result of a government program intended to breed super-soldiers. Hanna’s CIA operative creator, Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), is a David Lynch villain crossbred with Bourne’s chilly CIA deputy Pamela Landy.

Reclusively, rustically raised in the snowy wilderness by her ostensible father, Erik (Eric Bana), Hanna is trained up to hunt, to fight, and to speak tens of languages. (How annoying it must be, never to get a good night’s rest, because your dad’s always planning a sneak attack.) All of this so that one day, when Hanna is ready, Erik can dig up a transmitter that will alert Wiegler as to their location. Wiegler, by the by, wants Hanna dead.

There’s no rhyme or reason to why they have this transmitter or why it must ever be turned on, but when Hanna does flip its switch, Wiegler is awakened with a start, and the global chase begins.
