GAME OF THRONES - S4SOHO, 8.30PM

The wait is over. The show that has fascinated viewers and dominated water-cooler work conversations is back. Its been a while since the third season, which ended in such a bloody fashion. Soho are recapping old episodes for those that need a reminder of why everything that HBO does is worth watching.

SHOPPING RIALTO CHANNEL, 8.30PM

New Zealand is pushing above its weight in terms of creative output. This coming of age style indie drama was an official selection at Sundance this year. The film has a nostalgic tinge, that isnt exactly rose-tinted, looking at the loss of innocence of two brothers in small-town NZ in the early 80s.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MANTV2, 7.30PM

The familiar story of Peter Parker has been given the Hollywood treatment again and theres something about Spiderman that makes it enjoyable no matter how many re-tellings.

DAVID BOWIE - FIVE YEARSPRIME, 9.30 PM

David Bowie has redefined himself more times than perhaps any other musician in the history of popular music. The documentary series Prime Rocks looks at five different points in his career.

GUTTER BLACK: A MEMOIRDAVE MCARTNEY

Dave McArtney, founding member of Hello Sailor, may have passed away but for those interested in the turbulent times of one of New Zealands most renowned groups his memoir is available at last. The book, which McArtney was working on for well over a decade is clearly a labour of love. It will document the bands sometimes sordid reputation for delving into partying and drugs. They were considered one of the more dangerous, truly rock and roll bands from Auckland at the time. In an almost prophetic way, the book was completed only weeks before his untimely death. Let the memoir also serve as a history of pre-gentrified Ponsonby and the music scene of the time.

KIKI BEWARE 344 GEORGE ST

DUNEDIN

Light and floral, Kiki Beware has the carefree ambiance that so many cafs strive to create. The caf is cool in both its hip-design and springtime feel upon entering. Art covers the walls and every piece of decoration and furniture looks handpicked with precision to add mood to the place. The caf serves Supreme Coffee, which is always a good start and has enough sitting space, either on tables or stools at the bar to offer shelter from Dunedins cold climate. The food offered up is getting a good name for itself amongst the students, with the salmon bagels a popular favourite.

TOMMY CHANGS48 LONDON ST, LYTTELTON

CHRISTCHURCH

Lyttleton, tucked into the hills just out of Christchurch and espousing a community spirit, is fast becoming the hip centre of the South Island. The bar retains much of its interesting history and this is where much of its charm springs. The bar was originally a fruit shop owned by a Mr. Chang in the early part of last century and most of the atmosphere-adding furniture has been saved from these days. The bar has become a hub for the burgeoning folk and country scene spilling out of Lyttelton. This coupled with the fine craft beers has made this the beacon of the suburbs cultural renaissance.

LE GARDE-MANGER 479 NEW NORTH RD

AUCKLAND

Le Garde-Manger is branching out from its original Queen Street spot, opening up another location across town. The place is quintessential French with checkered tablecloths, French wine and intimate dining. Eat a meal or a quick crepe while enjoying some banter from the waitresses then stumble out and pretend its midnight in Paris.

LA BOTTEGA BAKERY 503 NEW NORTH RD

AUCKLAND

Good Italian food is hard to come by in New Zealand, especially food that is affordable and outside the standard spaghetti Bolognese or slice of pizza. La Bottega Bakery in Kingsland is reasonably priced and authentic (in both food and design). Their courtyard is a perfect place to devour a mouth melting pastry made fresh by their Italian chefs.

THE PORTLAND PUBLIC HOUSE463 NEW NORTH RD,

KINGSLAND

AUCKLAND

The Portland Public House has the power to always seem packed. Perhaps this is because the place feels like a villa that just happened to get converted into a pub overnight. This lively and atmospheric pub serves a good variety of interesting beers and food and has live music most evenings of the week.

MEMPHIS BELLE COFFEE HOUSE38 DIXON ST

WELLINGTON

REGIONAL GIG GUIDE


Hes starred in back-to-back Hollywood blockbusters, sharing the screen with A-listers including Chris Evans, Oscar winner Robert Redford and Scarlett Johansson, yet in true Kiwi fashion, actor Callan Mulvey is exceptionally humble about the hype that surrounds him hes just glad to be working.

Im excited to have a bit of heat, if you like, because work begets work and a lot of this industry is about hype, he drawls in a thick Australian accent, a result of moving to Sydney with his parents at age eight. Im loving it.

From a supporting role in 300: Rise of an Empire, to securing a role in Marvels Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the 39-year-olds evolution from small screen spots on the likes of Home and Away, McLeods Daughters and Underbelly to silver screen success is developing in the right direction.

But its been a journey thats taken more than a decade of blood, sweat and tears to get Callan where he is today. In 2003, he was involved in a horrific head-on collision at 100km/hr, leaving him trapped in the car for almost an hour. The accident required Callan to undergo extensive facial reconstruction after the midsection of his face collapsed. He was also blind in one eye and the left side of his body crushed. He is lucky to be alive.

Now, talking to Callan about his latest movie role, his passion for working particularly in physical roles is

apparent as hes still counting his lucky stars to be able to do what he loves.

Sometimes my ankle and knee give me a bit of grief, but Im happy to have a leg to complain about, he admits. I keep myself fit and I train a lot, so my body is in pretty good shape.

Ironically, his willingness to get roughed up a bit is what landed him the Captain America role thats set to propel him into stardom.

It began in early 2012, when Callan unsuccessfully auditioned for another Marvel movie, Iron Man 3. Despite the setback, his relationship with the studio wasnt over. He was called back to the casting couch to audition for CA:TWS directors Anthony and Joe Russo.

He was auditioning for the character Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, which eventually went to Frank Grillo, but last March, Callan was awarded the part of Jack Rollins, which he says took me by surprise, but I was stoked.

For six months, Callan was immersed in the world of Captain America. Much like 300, there was little CGI in the fight scenes, with the actors and stunt doubles involved in choreographed sequences of hand-to-hand combat. But as SHIELD agent Jack Rollins, Callan was often on the receiving end of a good right hook, notably in a close quarters elevator scene with Captain America himself (Chris Evans).

I keep in shape generally, so we just had a couple of sessions learning whatever moves I had to do, which essentially just meant me getting punched in the face and falling on my arse. [Evans] blocks both my punches

and gives me one in the throat, he says with a laugh. It was great fun.

Theres definitely no hard feelings though. Callan sings Evanss praises for his ability as an actor, particularly in the physical scenes.

Apparently he can be shown a 25-move fight scene twice and hell have it down pat perfectly. The stunt guys love him and think hes a freak, because hes so quick at picking up it up. Thats what you want the more stunts you can get the actor doing, the easier it is to suspend the audiences disbelief.

Its obvious, chatting to Callan, that while he enjoys dramatic features, his passion for putting his body on the line is something hes always chasing. And hes not the only one thats happier for it, with his wife of three years, Rachel Thomas, enjoying the results of his hard work.

I sent her a couple of pics from the set [of 300]. There was one picture she now has as her background on her phone and she was like, See honey? This is where it needs to stay. Jokingly, of course, but she loves it. Shes just happy to see me working. Rachel is a massive part of why I am in the position that Im in. Shes integral to my success.

With the couple already living completely unattached to any long-term plan, Callans new-found fame will no doubt make it even harder to be together as much as theyd like.

But with potential offers flying in for blockbuster roles, including Zack Synders upcoming Batman vs Superman movie, Callans more than happy to keep riding the wave of success for as long as possible.

Were in talks, he says, coyly. I am waiting with anticipation to see what theyre doingIm frustratedly waiting to hear. I love working, as long as it is challenging and I grow as a performer. LAURA WEASER
