Waxahatchee @ Forum Theatre
I was back at the beautiful Forum Theatre for my last gig of 2024, the warm harmonies and comforting, country-tinged indie folk.
Wicked – Film Review
Once in a while, a movie will turn out to be a pleasant surprise, and this year it’s the big screen version of a beloved Broadway musical that I initially had zero interest in seeing.
It Follows – Film Review
A horror movie with a simple, original and brilliantly unnerving premise, It Follows may not be perfect but it was effective enough to wreck my night’s sleep afterwards.
St Vincent @ Palais Theatre
I’ve been a fan of Annie Clark a.k.a. St Vincent for over fifteen years and now I finally got to see her solo live show. I pretty much knew that she would be fabulous, but I still didn’t expect to have so much fun.
Solaris by Stanisław Lem – Book Review
This enigmatic classic of science fiction is a dark psychological drama with a very distinctive take on contact with extraterrestrial life.
Heilung @ Palais Theatre
My favourite pagan lords and ladies returned for another primal, mesmerising, out-of-this-world performance.
Memoir of a Snail – Film Review
Adam Elliott’s stop-motion animation about a snail-collecting outsider is an offbeat and bittersweet saga, shifting between tragedy and comedy in a story about the shells we place on ourselves.
Beetlejuice – Film Review
In honour of Halloween, I thought I’d check out yet another 80s classic I’ve never watched before, a ghoulish supernatural comedy from Tim Burton that may be slight on story and characters but is still utterly charming and inventive.
