Dallas Buyers Club Official Trailer
IN AUSTRALIAN CINEMAS FEBRUARY 13 & NEW ZEALAND CINEMAS FEBRUARY 20, 2014 Inspired by true events, Ron Woodroof's story of strength is told in Dallas Buyers Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée from an original screenplay by Craig Borten & Melisa Wallack. Spirit Award winner Matthew McConaughey portrays the real-life character, whose self-interest is galvanized into something much more. A son of Texas, Ron Woodroof is an electrician and rodeo cowboy. In 1985, he is well into an unexamined existence with a devil-may-care lifestyle. Suddenly, Ron is blindsided by being diagnosed as H.I.V.-positive and given 30 days to live. Yet he will not, and does not, accept a death sentence. His crash course of research reveals a lack of approved treatments and medications in the U.S., so Ron crosses the border into Mexico. There, he learns about alternative treatments and begins smuggling them into the U.S., challenging the medical and scientific community including his concerned physician, Dr. Eve Saks (Screen Actors Guild Award winner Jennifer Garner). An outsider to the gay community, Ron finds an unlikely ally in fellow AIDS patient Rayon (Gotham Independent Film Award winner Jared Leto), a transsexual who shares Ron's lust for life. Rayon also shares Ron's entrepreneurial spirit: seeking to avoid government sanctions against selling non-approved medicines and supplements, they establish a "buyers club," where H.I.V.-positive people pay monthly dues for access to the newly acquired supplies. Deep in the heart of Texas, Ron's pioneering underground collective beats loud and strong. With a growing community of friends and clients, Ron fights for dignity, education, and acceptance. In the years following his diagnosis, the embattled Lone Star loner lives life to the fullest like never before.

Attention Powered Car Test Track Webisode 4 -- Tunes vs. Talkback
Music and driving have always gone hand in hand. Who doesn't remember a time driving with your favourite song blaring on the radio or singing along to a classic? But is it the best thing for your attention levels? In this new episode from the RAC Driving Centre where we continue to examine the issue of driver inattention, we put our five drivers to the test in the world's first Attention Powered Car to explore just how distracting tunes and talkback can be with surprising results. Will heavy metal prove as distracting as one of our driver's favourite songs? And what affect did listening to talkback have? To see what we've been learning about driver inattention or to get involved and have your say, go to http://www.forthebetter.com.au
