Sundays – Film Review
A pick from the Spanish & Latin American Film Festival, this quiet, thoughtful and engaging family drama about religious calling is also an unusual coming-of-age story.
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke – Book Review
I had fun with this buzzy tradwife thriller, but it’s fair to say that it entertained and frustrated me in equal measure.
Obsession – Film Review
I finally watched this horror movie, a rare example of a genuine word-of-mouth phenomenon, and thought that the hype was mostly justified. While not especially scary, it’s well-acted, disturbing and darkly funny.
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo – Book Review
Another gritty, twisty and nasty entry in the Harry Hole series. It could be pure recency bias, but I thought it was one of Nesbo’s best.
The Stranger – Film Review
I never read the original 1942 French novella by Albert Camus, but this stylish, beautiful and unsettling adaptation casts a haunting spell of its own.
Read moreA Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck – Book Review
This flimsy but intriguing novella mixes horror and philosophy for a mind-bending take on the afterlife. I enjoyed its ideas if maybe not the execution.
MSO: Storm & Serenity @ Hamer Hall
The absolute stars of this Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert, featuring music from Mozart, Beethoven and more, were the most animated conductor I’ve ever seen, and a big beautiful shiny horn.
“It” – Film Review
I watched my first silent film, a 1927 romantic comedy starring Clara Bow, the It Girl of the flapper era.
