Shayda – Film Review
Based on real-life experiences, this tender and harrowing movie is an impressive and deeply felt debut telling the story of an Iranian mother and her daughter trying to rebuild their lives in Australia.
The Holiday – Film Review
I’ve watched a few Christmas movies over the festive season, including this corny but charming 2006 romantic comedy about two women swapping homes and lives.
Leave the World Behind – Film Review
I like my apocalyptic drama and I liked many things about this adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s 2020 novel, even if my final thought was, I bet the book was better.
Godzilla Minus One – Film Review
I went to IMAX Melbourne to see what for me turned out to be the most surprising movie of the year.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes – Book Review

The Listerdale Mystery by Agatha Christie – Book Review
I assumed I was done with Christie’s short stories, but I was wrong: there remained twelve more tales of intrigue to finish, which mostly land on the fun and frothy end.
New Music 11/2023 – PJ Harvey
After a seven-year break from my all-time favourite artist, I feel positively spoiled with a brand new album and comprehensive collection of rarities, demos and other bits and bobs.
Foy Vance @ The Croxton
I had a good time at what is probably my last music concert of 2023, despite the annoying chatterboxes at the bar.
