My favourite movie scene from 2025

seancarslake Leave a comment

With 2026 now upon us, it is time to reflect back on the cinematic year that was 2025 and recall a little piece of movie magic that I found quite memorable. Well, not so much memorable – as in awesome – but rather a scene so dumb that it made me laugh uncontrollably when I first watched it.

If you haven’t already guessed; I’m referring to the ‘disappearing T-Rex’ sequence in ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ – a trick that would make David Copperfield blush with envy. What is most impressive is that the scene itself lasts only as long as it takes for a rubber dinghy to self-inflate; so we are talking about four to five seconds.

As I work through the key moments, keep in mind a couple of things; the size of the Tyrannosaurus and its close proximity to the jetty – which stands only a few metres away. With that being said, I shall now present my case using selected frames in chronological order: – and remember, this entire sequence goes for only a few seconds.

T-Rex is asleep only a few feet away from where the girl is dragging the package.

She lets it rip! There’s an almighty hissing sound and the dinosaur is now awake.

The dinghy expands as the T-Rex watches on.

The rubber boat stands on its side for no more than a second as it inflates fully, momentarily obscuring the dinosaur from the frame.

Girl pushes the dinghy into the water, but hang on!…

…the Tyrannosaurus Rex is gone!

In most cases, I’m happy to just keep eating my popcorn and go with the flow in order for some Hollywood trickery to work, but that was ridiculous!

And then after the view switches to the girl’s family urging her on, it quickly pans back and now the T-Rex has reappeared further down the river – and look at the bloody size of it! How can something so big vanish in the blink of an eye with only a small tree and some long grass to use as cover?

I must give the film editors some credit, as they have managed to ‘jump the shark’ and create something that is ‘so bad it’s good’ at the same time!

Despite ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ being a forgettable movie overall, this outrageous scene was easily my cinematic highlight from 2025 – and still cracks me up whenever I replay it.

Sydney to Adelaide road trip

seancarslake Leave a comment

Driving from Sydney to Adelaide is an interesting choice for a family holiday, and is usually undertaken via both the Sturt and Mallee Highways – with the Southern NSW town of Hay considered to be the halfway point of this fourteen hour journey. However, there is another way – a northerly route marked in red on the map – passing through Broken Hill and the outback areas of NSW and South Australia.

The longer and rougher road was too much of a challenge to pass up, and we began our trip by heading west out of Sydney and toward the remote regions of the state, with overnight stops at the mining towns of Cobar and Broken Hill, before crossing the border into South Australia. We would eventually arrive in Adelaide three days after leaving home; having completed eighteen grueling hours of driving.

The first day required us to travel for eight hours from Sydney to Cobar, following the red route marked on the above map. In hindsight, the much easier drive would have been to take the section marked in yellow – driving through the larger towns of Bathurst, Orange and Parkes – instead of the ‘faster’ way via Mudgee.

Once you pass Dubbo in regional NSW – six hours from Sydney – the driving conditions change considerably, as decent-sized towns are now fair distances apart, with nothing but a two-lane highway stretching for miles in between. But there were plenty of highlights from these parts, as seen in the photos below.

Our first stop was at Mudgee – three hours from Sydney.

The Big Bogan at Nyngan.
A mounted RAAF helicopter – also at Nyngan.
Fort Bourke Hill lookout – Cobar.

The second stage was a four-hour straight run from Cobar to Broken Hill, with only the town of Wilcannia and a remote rest stop positioned in between. I should point out to anyone planning a similar trip that the wildlife in these parts are ever-present; roaming very close to the highway – and sometimes wandering across – adding a little jeopardy to what is otherwise a route consisting of endless straights dissecting a rugged countryside.

There are literally thousands of wild goats lining both sides of the road, and they are often joined by kangaroos and emus – and even large pigs. Often I had to reduce my speed down from 110 km/h to 80, just in case any of these animals stepped out in front of the car. The holiday would have been instantly over had there been any collisions, so please keep this in mind if you are using the Barrier Highway between Cobar and Broken Hill.

The final part of the journey was a six-hour drive from The Silver City to Adelaide, but making sure to pass through Snowtown on the way. There were a couple of decent roadhouses and petrol stations along the remote highway areas of South Australia, so it’s a good idea to take a break at these places as there is not much else around.

The infamous Snowtown Bank.

And after a three-day journey, we finally arrived in Adelaide.

Of course the quicker and easier option is to fly here from Sydney, as it only takes an hour and a half, but doing it the long way certainly was a rewarding experience. Driving to Adelaide via Broken Hill is more of a once-in-a-lifetime trip, requiring a lot of planning and time management, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a sense of adventure.

For those not sure if their vehicles are up to the challenge; there is always the option of hiring a car from Sydney and returning it at Adelaide airport before flying back.

Stay tuned for my report on the return journey from Adelaide to Sydney via Victoria.

Snowtown, South Australia

seancarslake Leave a comment

While driving from Sydney to Adelaide – via Broken Hill – I could not help but take a detour and visit the town forever etched in the pages of Australian history.

Just seeing the old bank building with my own eyes brought shivers down my spine, so imagine my surprise when the doors suddenly opened!

Decades after the horrific crime scene made international news, the old bank building is now a second-hand shop; with tributes and memorials featured within to those who suffered here all those years ago.

Being able to stand in front of the vault door was an unnerving experience, and according to the owner, many tourists are prepared to pay top dollar to have this heavy door opened just so they can walk inside. Apparently, some of the people who made this request were ghost hunters and true crime aficionados, with foreigners making up a large number of those seeking the ‘extra tour.’ My fascination with the macabre does not stretch that far, so I was more than content just to see it from the outside – and that was creepy enough.

In all honesty, my original plan was to drive to Snowtown and take a few photos of the bank – just to say ‘I was there’, but I never expected to be able to enter the building. I’m not exactly sure but I think the place opens at midday, because there were other people waiting around at this time as well – and when the doors opened they were inside in a flash!

The old Snowtown bank is worth a visit – especially if you are interested in crime stories – and there are a lot of interesting things to see inside, not to mention being a great second-hand store. Don’t forget to support the other local businesses there, such as the larger bric-a-brac shop next door – as well as a pub across the road and a local supermarket a few doors down.

Franko TV – An unnerving YouTube channel!

seancarslake Leave a comment

This amazing channel is the creation of an intrepid guy named Franko, and armed with an assortment of cameras and paranormal equipment, this dude goes into places where very few people would dare to tread. With almost 400,000 subscribers watching his every move, this certified legend strolls into cemeteries and abandoned buildings at night, and often alone. What could possibly go wrong?

Whatever screenshots I post here will not give Franko’s work justice, as one really needs to watch his videos to appreciate some of the outrageous things he picks up on his lenses. It’s not just the live footage that is so impressive, but Franko’s steady zooming and skill when switching cameras – all within a split second – add a lot of value to the viewing experience. When you add the creator’s live commentary into the mix – that is both informative and emotional – the end result is a brilliant final product.

With all that being said, I will post some photos below from some of Franko’s videos and do my best to explain what you are looking at.

This creepy dude turned up at a cemetery in the middle of the night, and was picked up by Franko on his IR night vision camera.

While it is not evident by looking at this picture, there is someone standing in the window of a derelict building watching Franko – for in the video, you can see this person’s eyes blinking.

These two shots were taken from one of Franko’s night time explorations at a cemetery in Florida. He asks the old lady if she needs help, but she only stares at him in silence.

This shot is from another of Franko’s videos – and this time he is tracking a robed weirdo as it slowly walks around a cemetery late at night.

And there is this incident filmed at an enormous burial complex in Lima, Peru – where a little girl suddenly skips across the screen. This is in the middle of the night, mind you!

Franko does some incredible work, but what he catches on camera are more likely to be druggos, criminals and other nutcases – rather than anything paranormal. If I was to play Devil’s Advocate here, I could say that these videos may have been staged by Franko having some associates run off ahead and set these scenes up, but I honestly don’t think this is the case – and that his videos are for real.

The only criticism I have with this channel are the clickbait thumbnails, with Franko often shown as bleeding or injured and featuring exaggerated demonic faces. You know, he really doesn’t need to do this as his videos are excellent, and all this does is make it hard to find the actual clips you want to see. For instance, there were a few more screencaps that I wanted to show here – such as when Franko stumbled across witches – but because all the thumbnails are hyped-up and look so alike, it would have taken me ages to locate the right episode.

So, what I will do is create a YouTube link below to Franko’s video of the weird robed figure he encountered at a cemetery. This would be a great place to start if you have not experienced this channel before.

Franko TV is a great channel, and I tune in once or twice a week for some great entertainment. Franko’s episodes can drag out a little as they are a slow burn, but when something happens it’s worth the wait and suspense – as everything goes crazy at once. As a special mention, some of the places he visits are incredible – especially the necropolis-like cemeteries in Latin America – and some insane stuff is guaranteed to happen there every time!

Aussie Big Things – Collection 2

seancarslake Leave a comment

If you don’t know what an ‘Aussie Big Thing’ is – these are large sculptures (or structures) of Australian flora and fauna, as well as iconic local symbols, that are positioned by major roads and highways to serve as tourist attractions.

Despite the term ‘kitsch’ often being used to describe them, a number of these roadside gems are featured on one-dollar coins; with the first ‘Aussie Big Things’ collection being released back in 2023. The latest series – which I am going to show in detail shortly – came out in September 2025.

There are ten different ‘big things’ featured in the newest edition; and were chosen to represent every state and territory – except the ACT. To be honest, I think a couple of these attractions are a little lame, but nevertheless I have presented the photos of all ten places below – using Google Street View for consistency and showing the real location alongside the $1 coin for comparison.

THE BIG GALAH – Kimba, South Australia.

This attraction is positioned at the halfway point across Australia – from east to west.

THE BIG MANGO – Bowen, Queensland.

Some pranksters actually stole this entire mango a couple of years ago – if you want a good laugh then I suggest you look up the story.

THE BIG PRAWN – Exmouth, Western Australia.

This is a weak entry to be honest, as there is a ‘bigger’ Big Prawn in Ballina, NSW – as seen in the photo below.

THE BIG ROCKING HORSE – Gumeracha, South Australia.

It’s weird, but it’s BIG – I will give them that!

THE BIG STRAWBERRY – Koonoomoo, Victoria.

This is not big – compared to some of the others – but it’s big for a strawberry, I suppose.

THE BIG PENGUIN – Penguin, Tasmania.

According to the local tourism websites, this stands three metres high. Hmm…

THE BIG MERINO – Goulburn, NSW.

Now this is BIG! There’s also an awesome bakery across the street.

THE BIG GOLDEN GUITAR – Tamworth, NSW

For those unaware, Tamworth is Australia’s country music capital – our equivalent of Nashville.

THE BIG BARRAMUNDI – Wanguri, Northern Territory.

Be careful with this one, as I think it is on the property of a primary school – note the fence.

THE BIG WHEELBARROW – Wedgefield, Western Australia.

This is positioned in a remote mining town, so I guess it makes sense.

The Aussie Big Things – Collection 2 is available to purchase from post offices and coin dealers, and there’s a one-in-ten chance to find a coloured Big Strawberry coin. The set comes with a folder and sealed tube of uncirculated coins – and will set you back $34.

Crocs Cave: – Real or Fantasy?

seancarslake Leave a comment

The enigmatic Crocs Cave was brought to my attention a week ago, having noticed it for the first time on Google Maps – which was odd because I study these areas regularly and had not seen this marker before.

With Google, Apple and Randonautica all showing this location on their maps, I felt compelled to take on the bush trails around North Parramatta to solve this mystery once and for all.

I began my quest at Lake Parramatta, and made my way to the northern tip of the water (see photo below) before heading east into the King’s School Grounds.

At this point, it is the same route that I took on my previous walk to North Rocks, but a different path would be needed once having reached the private school’s property.

As you can see in the above shots, this ended up being a well-worn path – not a battle through thick bushland as I expected. And with such a flat and easy track to walk on, it did not take long to reach the mysterious Crocs Cave*.

*Note: For the sake of consistency, I will spell the location as ‘Crocs Cave’ – and not ‘Croc’s Cave’ – as this is how it is represented across multiple maps.

And as simple as that, I can confirm that this is a real place.

To be fair, there are caves – and then there are caves, right? Most of the bushwalks around Parramatta do feature small caverns where the lower part of a rock face has been hollowed out, but these are not ‘caves’ – so I wasn’t expecting to find The Mines of Moria.

However, Crocs Cave was better than I expected, and would be a great place to take a rest before continuing on with the track – but be mindful that a large pool of water takes up most of the area here, so one would need to jump across to reach the drier spots.

I continued along the path towards the lower part of North Rocks, and there were no major difficulties here – although it may have been fenced off at one point, but those barriers now have gaps wide enough to drive a car through.

The trail is also littered with these colourful plants, which at first glance I thought were Sturt’s Desert Pea – until closer examination. They are in fact Ochna thomasiana – better known as Mickey Mouse Plant – and are native to parts of Africa but considered an invasive weed here.

If you do want to go off-track in these parts, please be wary of snakes because the foliage was thick and tall – and some were bound to be present. Make sure you create enough noise – stamping your feet and so forth – to frighten any of these buggers away.

The Crocs Cave track ends at the base of the big dipper on Bettington Road, North Rocks – where Pennywise the Clown might feel at home.

Directly across the street is the beginning of a new walking path – North Rocks Wildlife Sanctuary – which can link up to the Balaka Falls track before making its way to Carlingford.

There’s a good chance this will be my next assignment.

The Crocs Cave track is a good walk – and not too physically challenging – and can be accessed at either the northern end of Lake Parramatta Reserve or on Bettington Road at the bottom of the steep dip.

‘Island Of The Lizard King’ and ‘Scorpion Swamp’

seancarslake Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I showcased (and critiqued) any artwork from the Fighting Fantasy book series, so let’s now check out entries seven and eight: – ‘Island of the Lizard King’ and ‘Scorpion Swamp,’ which were both released way back in 1984.

For me personally, I remember when I was twelve years old and feeling that these classics were beginning to drop away a little at this point, having peaked with earlier stories such as ‘City of Thieves’ and ‘Deathtrap Dungeon’. In fact, to this day I consider ‘Island of the Lizard King’ to be the last title in a brilliant sequence of fantasy adventures (not counting ‘Starship Traveller’) from books one through to seven.

Anyway, let’s get on with giving each story a quick overview before diving into the artwork that played such an important role in enhancing these iconic and imaginative tales.

‘Island of the Lizard King’ by Ian Livingstone is set in the same fantasy universe as ‘City of Thieves’ and ‘Deathtrap Dungeon’ – with the events of the story taking place not far from Port Blacksand and Fang – two locations that are well-known to fans of the series.

As the story goes, Lizard Men have been raiding towns and villages, kidnapping young men to be put to work as slaves in the brutal mines of Fire Island – which is under the merciless rule of The Lizard King. Of course, it falls to you – the great adventurer – to set sail and sort this slave-driving bastard out once and for all!

The cover art for this book is by Iain McCaig, who provided the artwork for the previous two entries into the series – the highly regarded and aforementioned ‘City of Thieves’ and ‘Deathtrap Dungeon.’ The illustrations within the pages of ‘Island of the Lizard King’ are from Alan Langford, and we shall now focus on some of his amazing drawings.

From these opening two pictures alone, one must conclude that Langford is an artist of immense talent – in fact, his work does bear resemblance to Iain McCaig’s contributions from those earlier books.

And respect to the guy for treating teenage fan-boys with some hot chicks!

That being said, Langford’s drawings of monsters are not too shabby either.

I remember ‘Island of the Lizard King’ as being a difficult adventure to defeat, with countless foes – both man and beast – trying to kill you from all angles. Not only that but success depended too highly upon pivotal moments in the story, such as deciding to take a chained monkey with you or not: – the one seen in the picture below.

Overall, Alan Langford’s artwork is right up there among the best in the Fighting Fantasy series. From what I have seen so far, only Russ Nicholson and Iain McCaig have done it better.

We now move onto ‘Scorpion Swamp’ from Steve Jackson, which to be honest was a book that I couldn’t really get into back in the day. Taking a look at it again all these years later, I think my lack of enthusiasm could have had something to do with the illustrations.

Before I continue – and to be fair to the artist Duncan Smith – my scanned copy was not of the highest resolution, but even with this concession the artwork in this book is nowhere near the quality seen in the previous title. Not only that, but if you want to engage with a predominantly male reading group, I would keep the wimpy stuff out: – note the following examples.

What the heck was going on at Scorpion Swamp?

It wasn’t only these illustrations that were seriously undermining whatever menace and excitement may have been in the story – I mean, check out the following efforts…

This could be a sketch drawn by a member of The Dog Lover’s Society.

And why do I feel like singing the theme song from ‘Cheers!’ when I look at this picture?

And these two blokes look like English cricket selectors.

But all jokes aside, there were a few standout pieces from Duncan Smith, and I would prefer to finish on a high note – so here they are.

Overall, the seventh and eighth entries into the Fighting Fantasy series – ‘Island of the Lizard King’ and ‘Scorpion Swamp’ – are two books that in terms of visual quality could not be any further apart.

While every illustration in ‘Lizard King’ oozed danger and captured perfectly the chaotic elements of the story, the more light-hearted offerings from ‘Swamp’ might have you believing that the adventure was one big picnic – with a couple of bad guys thrown in here and there. But let me finish by saying that Duncan Smith is a top artist – not as good as Alan Langford in my view – but perhaps his style was not as well-suited to blood and guts fantasy books.

Anyway, that’s a wrap for these two titles and next on the list are ‘Caverns of the Snow Witch’ and ‘House of Hell’ – both released in 1984.

The North Parramatta to North Rocks bushwalk

seancarslake Leave a comment

Combining an exciting mix of leafy suburban streets with the grit of an Aussie bushwalk, the 4km course from North Parramatta to North Rocks Shopping Centre – via Lake Parramatta – is a satisfying challenge that isn’t too hard to conquer.

Beginning at the Iron Street shops at North Parramatta, the first part of the journey is a slightly uphill ten-minute walk to the lake reserve, as seen on the map below.

Taking the bush tracks around the eastern side of the lake, this next section of the walk is by far the most picturesque, but can be a little rough underfoot at times. The path becomes more rugged once you pass the northern end of the reserve as it winds its way through part of The King’s School grounds until eventually re-entering suburbia at Tallwood Drive, North Rocks.

There is an interesting marker at around the halfway point of the walk, and that is a unique spiral staircase belonging to one of the houses near North Rocks Road. The lengthy stairs wind their way down from the rear patio of the home to the creek bed at the base of a cliff, yet one could easily walk by without noticing it.

The last part of the bushwalk is an uphill hike through The King’s School property and onto Seville Reserve at North Rocks. I should point out that the route is not entirely clear here, and it’s best to use the map on your phone to guide you in the right direction, and locate where the path crosses the creek (see photo below). From here, it’s a simple matter of hiking up to where the trail ends at Tallwood Drive: – but watch out for the hidden cameras!

Alas, the Fun Police strike again: – but these rules won’t affect you if you are simply walking through. That being said, if I earned a dollar for every mountain bike that rocketed past me whilst enjoying this peaceful walk…

Anyway, once back among the suburban streets, the final stretch of the journey is a mostly flat walk along North Rocks Road, all the way to the shopping centre.

It all ends at North Rocks, and if you’ve kept up a decent pace – even allowing a few breaks to enjoy the scenery – the adventure should have taken just over an hour to complete.

Back at the starting point, there is plenty of available parking (not ticketed) around the streets near the Lake Reserve at North Parramatta, so it’s possible to perform a round trip to North Rocks and back within three hours. The return walk would be mostly downhill, and you can always grab a bite to eat or something to drink at the shopping centre while you are there.

Again, make sure you use the map on your phone to navigate through some of the trickier sections; remembering that there are many paths that will take you safely out of the bushland and back to suburbia if you happen to lose your way.

‘Kingdom of the Spiders’ is a cool movie!

seancarslake Leave a comment

Headlined by the legendary William Shatner, this 1977 horror flick is surprisingly good: – with a decent story line and impressive use of thousands of live tarantulas. In fact, around one-tenth of the entire film’s budget was spent on handling so many spiders, which is an incredible statistic.

My understanding is that tarantulas are fairly docile creatures – especially around humans – so it was quite an achievement for the film-makers to have the spiders appear to chase or attack people in this movie. The use of off-screen fans were utilised to great effect to have the arachnids move in the direction and manner desired, and it certainly paid dividends with some wonderful yet frightening sequences being brought to the big screen.

The story is set in the town of Camp Verde, Arizona where livestock are suddenly dropping dead, and tests later reveal that this is due to lethal amounts of spider venom. The local vet ‘Rack’ Hansen (played by William Shatner) along with an arachnologist soon discover a massive spider hill on a local farm, and the decision is made to set it on fire. Big mistake!

But before we explore the consequences of upsetting thousands of spiders, I should point out that it wouldn’t be a William Shatner movie without a little romance – and the great man is in fine form here!

Anyway, the locals would pay a heavy price for attempting to destroy the spiders’ nest, as a swarm of angry tarantulas descend upon the town; even ambushing some of the folks by crawling into trucks and planes as part of their ultimate revenge!

But the most unnerving moments were saved for the film’s final act, and you have to appreciate how difficult it would have been to pull off some of these scenes. Remember: No CGI involved – only real tarantulas with the odd rubber spider thrown in.

Now as creepy as some of these screenshots are, the following sequence is perhaps the most disturbing in the entire movie. Credit goes to the very young actress here!

‘Kingdom of the Spiders’ is a solid film that builds suspense nicely throughout and goes out of its way to explain the aggressive – and rather unscientific – behaviour of the tarantulas, before delivering a truly exceptional ending that I will not spoil here.

The charismatic but serviceable performance of William Shatner helps the movie along, with second-billing going to the ridiculous number of hairy arachnids that share the screen with him. In summary, this is a movie worth watching, and despite being a low-budget production, I would still rate it seven out of ten!

When David Warner lost his head

seancarslake Leave a comment

I’m referring to the late, great English actor – not the Australian cricketer.

David Warner, who sadly passed away in 2022, was an English actor who popped up in many films and TV shows over the decades. Perhaps his most famous roles would be the villainous Dillinger in ‘Tron’ (1982) and the overly-suspicious bodyguard Lovejoy in ‘Titanic’ (1997). Most movie buffs would probably recognise Warner – and say “Oh, that guy” – but wouldn’t know much else about him, which is unfortunate because he truly was a master of his craft.

However, it is Warner’s performance in the 1976 horror classic ‘The Omen’ that I wish to focus on, and in particular his character’s unforgettable demise.

*** BLOOD AND GORE ALERT ***

I’m about to show some rather spicy screenshots of a decapitation scene that is incredibly realistic, despite these practical effects being filmed almost fifty years ago.

So, let’s set the stage: – Robert Thorn (played by Gregory Peck) throws a mystical set of daggers away in a fit of rage, forcing his colleague Keith Jennings (David Warner) to walk along an alleyway and into a construction site to retrieve them. Of course, as soon as Jennings bends down to pick up the knives, we all know he’s in serious trouble.

The handbrake on a parked truck then slips, and the vehicle begins rolling toward the unsuspecting Jennings – who I have to say is in no hurry at all to pick up the sacred daggers.

Did you see the sheet of glass on the back of the truck? Well, that’s about to come into play…

*** LAST CHANCE TO LOOK AWAY ***

The director of ‘The Omen’ was Richard Donner, who would later helm ‘Superman’ in 1978, ‘The Goonies’ in 1985 and ‘Lethal Weapon’ in 1987, to name but a few of his works. To say that Donner knows a thing or two about camera angles and special effects would be a vast understatement, and this incredible death scene was shot from multiple sides – top, bottom, left and right – and most likely completed over a number of takes.

In the final cut of the movie, some of these sequences are even slowed down a little – a strong indication of how happy the editors were with both the realistic dummy of David Warner and the way these incredible shots turned out.

Even by today’s standards of film-making, I think this holds up pretty well.

I should also point out that the corresponding scene in the 2006 remake is also quite gruesome, with David Thewlis being the actor on the receiving end of a freak accident.

I have added a link below to the 1976 scene – courtesy of La Casita del Horror de Pipendorf YouTube channel.

To end on a brighter note, it was great to see David Warner’s likeness appear in ‘Tron: Ares’.

Shame about the rest of the movie.
