Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 2: “The House of Black and White”
Episode two! What an episode. As always, watch out for spoilers below.
Thoughts on… Interstellar (2014)
Another of director Christopher Nolan’s science fiction epics, Interstellar (2014) tells of a strange future Earth that has experienced an environmental catastrophe leading to large-scale food shortages. As a result of this disaster, a crew of astronauts must explore the universe to find an alternate home for the citizens of Earth, where resources are abundant. […]
“Is it worth paying for a ticket?”: Big Eyes (2014)
I’m aware that this is probably the most delayed “Is it worth paying for a ticket?” review I’ve done. But for some reason, Australia seemed to get Big Eyes (2014, dir. Tim Burton) lucky last. In any case, Big Eyes tells the story of artist Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), a woman who paints haunting images of […]
Game of Thrones – Season 5 Episode 1: “The Wars To Come”
It’s finally here! Season five of my equal favourite television show of all time is finally here! Again this year I’ll be recapping each episode of season five of Game of Thrones for your enjoyment and for my own personal need to rant and rave after watching certain scenes.
Frank (2014): “I love you all.”
A quirky comedy-drama about music, authenticity and nonsense, Frank (2014, dir. Lenny Abrahamson) tells the story of the best band in the universe that no one has heard of yet – Soronprfbs. Jon Burroughs (Domnhall Gleeson) is a man in search of a band, a man who has a lot to say musically but no […]

Alex Gibney) is based on a book of the same name by Lawrence Wright. This documentary, which has received a tidal wave of criticism from Church of Scientology members, details the questionable beginnings and […]
Ten Things I Love About NBC’s ‘Hannibal’
Yet again I’ve gotten stuck into a television series and I feel the need to post/rant about how much I love it. I’m sure you’ve all heard of NBC’s Hannibal before – the general story is based on the book Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, with the character of Hannibal himself being featured in the classic […]
Sound Of My Voice (2011): Quick-shot review!
A surprising low budget gem, Sound Of My Voice (2011, dir. Zal Batmanglij) tells the story of young couple Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius), who are shooting a documentary on cults and those who follow them. Peter and Lorna learn of a specific group of people who follow a woman named Maggie (Brit […]
Russia in Classic Film: Stalker (1979)
I love Russian films. For me, the experience of watching films from Russia is quite singular – whether they’re classic or modern, from the Soviet era or recent times. It feels like the films have arisen out of a very specific cultural context that sets them apart from others, a context which I find extremely […]
