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
I almost never cry over books these days, but I can admit that Daniel Keyes’ thought-provoking, heart-wrenching novel is one of the few recent reads that made me tear up.
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.
La Poeté by Marc Chagall
I rarely remember my dreams these days, but a giant blue cat floating over a village sounds like a dream I wouldn’t mind having.
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.
