The theme for this year is “A White Neon Night” so everyone is expected to wear outfits in ‘80s neon White colours.

The Dance Cages, Mirror Ball action, and Black Light are definitely back but the stars of the night are Brisbane nightclub DJs from the ‘80’s. DJs Parry James and Peter Tigani will be performing the best 80s club sounds in the main room of The Hamilton Hotel.
DJ Peter Tigani is currently busy with his fifth hair salon, but fans of the ‘80’s era would always remember him first as a DJ at Transformers, a nightclub which opened in 1988 coinciding with the World Expo. The place was famous for its unique vibe – a cross between a Mad Max Movie and a Michael Jackson film clip. It has remained, up until at present, to be the only nightclub to have a street in the middle of the place and a hairdressing salon built into the ladies’ toilet. The gourmet hot dog stand and a shooters’ bar with a dentist chair has also never been topped by any other nightclub in the city.

DJ Parry James was a well-known presence at some of the coolest nightclubs in Melbourne. He had worked alongside some of Australia’s popular 80’s bands, including Cold Chisel, Mental As Anything, The Models, Pseudo Echo, Hoodoo Gurus, Noiseworks, Dragon, and INXS. DJ Parry, however, was introduced to Brisbane’s club scene through the Stratus Nightclub, which was then the largest nightclub in the Southern Hemisphere.

Different genres await moviegoers for the rest of the month of November at Dendy Cinemas Portside in Hamilton. From among the films that are currently showing, our top picks for the month include two action comic book movies, two biographical films, one comedy, and one family drama.
Thor: Ragnarok
“Thor: Ragnarok” has been showing since the 26th of October and will run until the 15th of November. This is the third chapter in Marvel’s “Thor” series. The movie stars Australia’s very own Chris Hemsworth and Cate Blanchett, joined by Tom Hiddleston, and Idris Elba. New Zealander Director Taika Waititi has been at the helm of the movie. The film is less serious and dark than the two previous instalments of the movie franchise.
Speaking of less serious, movie goers will be surprised to find a lot of Aussie trivia within “Thor: Ragnarok”. Hemsworth has especially requested that the film be shot on the Gold Coast. He has also seen to it that many locals, including indigenous, were hired for the production. Director Waititi has used the colours of the Aboriginal flag to design the ship used by the heroes to their escape. Hemsworth and Blanchett have also used their Aussie accents in the movie.
“Thor: Ragnarok” promises fun and relatable humour. However, it has been rated M for its mature content. Many characters have been killed in the film through slashing and stabbing. Villain Hela might be too scary for the young audience too. There are also some use of adult elements like curse words, masturbation, orgies, and alcoholism.
Next up is “Bad Moms 2: A Bad Mom Christmas”, which has been showing since 2nd of November and will run until the 15th of November. It stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, and Susan Sarandon. The film is directed by Jon Lucas.
Despite tackling friendship and the bonds that daughters and mothers share, this comedy film is rated MA15+ for jokes about drugs and sex. There are scenes involving stripping, too much drinking and even drugs, conversations referring to male parts, a young child who cursed, and sexy dances with Santa.
The film, however, remains recommended, especially to mothers, couples, and group of friends who want to have laugh-out-loud moments together.
“The Man Who Invented Christmas” is showing on the 30th of November, but will have a special preview on 15th of November at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Viewers in the morning will be treated to Christmas Cake, while the evening viewers will be enjoy Yuletide cocktails.
Here is an excerpt from the film’s synopsis:
Using real-life inspiration and a vivid imagination, author Charles Dickens brings Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other classic characters to life in “A Christmas Carol,” forever changing the holiday season into the celebration known today.
The film, which is rated PG, features Dan Stevens, Jonathan Pryce, Christopher Plummer, Miriam Margolyes and is directed by Bharat Nalluri.
“Justice League” is another comic book/superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. Rated M, it is showing on the 16th of November. The film’s stellar cast – Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavil as Superman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg – has made it an easy choice among moviegoers.
The producers held a press conference in London earlier this month to promote the film.

Goodbye, Christopher Robin
The biographical pic “Goodbye, Christopher Robin” comes to the Dendy cinemas on 23rd of November. The film stars Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly Macdonald, and Will Tilston.
Some excerpts from the film’s synopsis:
After leaving London for the English countryside, writer A.A. Milne starts to spin fanciful yarns about his son’s growing collection of stuffed animals. These stories form the basis for “Winnie-the-Pooh” and “The House at Pooh Corner,” published respectively in 1926 and 1928. Milne and his family soon become swept up in the instant success of the books, while the enchanting tales bring hope and comfort to the rest of postwar England.
The film has not been rated yet as of press time. Tickets are not yet on sale as well.
“Wonder” is showing on the 30th of November but will have a special preview screening on the 22nd of November at 6:30 p.m. The drama film, which stars Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, and Daveed Diggs, will make moviegoers cry as it follows the journey of a young boy born with facial differences.
Brookfield Residential Properties, in partnership with Multiplex, has commenced with the construction of the Gallery House, a 20-storey residential building just next door to Portside Wharf and within six kilometres of the Brisbane CBD. It comprises 169 residences, including apartment units ranging from one-, two-, and three-bedroom types and penthouses ranging from 58 sqm to 669 sqm.

Construction has proceeded amidst the latest estimates from the QBE Australian Housing Outlook 2017-20. The outlook for the next three years is that unit prices for apartments will fall due to stricter lending standards. Specifically, the report shows that Brisbane will see a seven percent fall for unit prices, followed by Melbourne at five percent and Sydney at four percent.
While apartment prices fall however, the housing market are set to increase in the next three years. Brisbane house pricing is also set to increase by 7 percent. As a result, people are leaning towards buying apartment units than houses.
“With so many Australians priced out of the housing market, the Australian Dream of owning property is increasingly turning to high- and medium-density apartments,” says QBE Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance CEO Phil White.
It appears that Brookfield Residential Properties is geared towards taking advantage of this demand.
As of press time, 80 percent of the Gallery House tower has already been sold. Tower Two is set to be launched before the end of October.
“Demand for riverfront apartments remains high and the success of Gallery House is testament to the fact that well-designed and positioned properties continue to perform strongly,” says Brookfield Residential Properties General Manager, Lee Butterworth.
The firm also provides choices for its residents. They can choose between two kinds of units: the Sky Collection and the River Collection.

The Gallery House is strategically located within a close distance from various lifestyle hubs. It is just within a 3-minute walk to the Eat Street Markets, 10-minute walk to the Eagle Farm Markets and an 8-minute drive to the James Street in Fortitude Valley.
