Insomnia – Film Review
I finally caught up with this solid if unexceptional remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller, one of the few Christopher Nolan films I’ve never seen before.
The Dry by Jane Harper – Book Review
I haven’t read Australian fiction in a while, and I quite enjoyed this solid, well-written crime novel set in regional Victoria during an unrelenting drought.
Le Samouraï – Film Review
This stylish, icy cool 1967 crime thriller starring Alain Delon has been on my movie radar for ages, so I was excited to catch its 4K restoration on the big screen.
Saltburn – Film Review
I finally checked out one of last year’s most divisive and talked about movies, and it was… an experience, even if I find it hard to say whether the film was actually good or not, underneath all that luscious imagery and transgressive moments.

A layered, smart and elegant psychological thriller that begins as a murder mystery, morphs into a courtroom drama, and ends up a blistering examination of a failing marriage.
The Killer – Film Review
I enjoyed David Fincher’s thriller about a deadly perfectionist for what it is, a stylish, sleek, superbly directed and acted procedural that doesn’t have a lot going on beneath the surface… and that’s ok.
Knock at the Cabin – Film Review

Killing Moon by Jo Nesbo – Book Review
A random purchase at an op shop got me back into this Norwegian crime series starring Harry Hole, the grizzled, hard-drinking, rule book-shredding, classic rock-loving detective with uncanny instincts for solving the most puzzling and heinous crimes.
