Harry Styles @ Marvel Stadium
I enjoyed the hits, charm and showmanship, but spending a couple of hours in a stadium packed with thousands of delirious screaming girls was a tad too much for this geriatric millennial*.
The Banshees of Inisherin – Film Review
I finally caught up with this movie in which writer-director Martin McDonagh reunites Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell in a quirky, sad and darkly hilarious tale about severed friendship on a remote island.
Eat Drink Man Woman – Film Review
A delectable, heartwarming Taiwanese comedy-drama about dysfunctional family, food and sex.
While the Light Lasts by Agatha Christie – Book Review
A collection of early short stories that I suspect would only be of interest to diehard Christie devotees and completists.
The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe – Book Review
It took me a couple of reads to wrap my head around this haunting, disorienting and imaginative trio of sci-fi novellas that take the reader into a labyrinth full of mirrors and puzzles.
New Music 01/2023 – ThornBird, Aurora, Mdou Moctar
Solo album from one-third of The Waifs; a newie from my favourite Norwegian forest spirit; electrifying desert blues.
My Brilliant Career – Film Review
Another long-overdue Aussie classic off my list, this one is a sensitively filmed story about the choices of a rebellious young woman growing up in rural Australia at the turn of the last century.
Rina Sawayama @ 170 Russell
Fun start to live music in the new year with a powerhouse gig by a Japanese-British pop star, who by all rights should be the next Lady Gaga.
