The Terror – TV Review
I enjoyed Dan Simmons’ sprawling novel about the doomed Franklin expedition, and this handsome, well-acted adaptation does justice to the haunting story of 19th century Arctic horror and survival.
Touch – Film Review
Scandinavian Film Festival is on again! This gentle drama about an elderly man searching for The One Who Got Away, spanning decades, cultures and continents, was definitely a romance to remember.
The Dry by Jane Harper – Book Review
I haven’t read Australian fiction in a while, and I quite enjoyed this solid, well-written crime novel set in regional Victoria during an unrelenting drought.
New Music 07/2024 – Sofia Kourtesis, Romy

What Maisie Knew – Film Review
I didn’t expect much from this movie, but it turned out to be a moving and heartbreaking story about a young girl caught up in a middle of a nasty break-up.

Sometimes it’s good to take a leap of faith and discover a new artist in a live setting, like this Melbourne-based singer-songwriter with a truly phenomenal voice.

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. – Book Review
This sprawling, intricate post-apocalyptic novel blends religious faith with science fiction, and envisions a potential course for human civilisation that’s both bleak and hopeful – and surprisingly humorous. It’s a wonderfully written book deserving of its classic status.
