Sisters Movie Review
After a bit of an uneven first reel, the film finds its comic feet and produces some good laughs. Tina and Amy continue to prove that cringe worthy comedy isn't just the sport of men and they are fearless in their pushing of the envelope. Never let good taste get in the way of going for the big laugh.
The film often feels like a love letter to the thirty and forty something’s and urges them to get in touch with their wild sides and prove that their ability for outrageous behaviour ...
Spiderbait Aussie Tour
From humble beginnings in the rural NSW town of Finley, Janet, Whitt and Kram’s unique musical alchemy has taken them on a ride to the top of their game, from their very first single Circle K released in 1991 to ARIA #1 songs and the #1 spot on triple j’s Hottest 100. Australia thought they were “kinda cool” too and has since bought over half a million of their records, sending their singles into the Top 10, albums to double platinum status and winning them multiple ARIA Awards.

The 1975 Aussie Tour
It is that loyalty that inspired me to write this letter, scrappy as it may be. This is the beginning of a new chapter for The 1975. Our new record signifies the start of a new world for us, more colourful world a less colourful world. We want to play shows we want a real shared experience, we want to play HUGE shows that we never thought were possible, we want to play sets at festivals that people talk about for ages cos it was fun and it was music and the weather was perfect and we want ...
The Flaming Lips Australian Tour
The Flaming Lips, headed up by enigmatic front-man Wayne Coyne, are no strangers to Australia; their most recent trip was in 2012/13 to headline Falls Festival and Southbound. Undoubtedly a festival favourite, they have headlined a number of major music festivals in Australia such as Splendour In The Grass, Big Day Out and Harvest, plus a string of major international festivals including Iceland Airwaves, Coachella, Lollapolooza, Firefly, Primavera Sound, Sasquatch! and Hopscotch, to name a ...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Movie Review
The franchise is almost universally regarded as having lost it's way with Lucas' prequels (um, Episodes I, II and III) but the truth is the series began running off the rails from the moment Lucas re-branded the first instalment of Star Wars Episode IV. This set in motion two decades of Lucas dicking with his baby, subjecting his movies to so much plastic surgery as to transform them into some kind of CGI-laden Frankenstein's monster. From simple beginnings Lucas had begun complicating Star ...

Hotel Transylvania 2 Movie Review
It was littered with mildly funny gags referencing classic horror films, blended with a modern yet ironically timeless grrrl power theme about a grown-up daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez), rebelling against her old fashioned father, Dracula (Adam Sandler), for her right to make her own way in the big bad world. Drac also has to learn to accept Mavis' choice of partner; in this case, a normal human, Jonathan (Andy Samberg). Hotel Transylvania 2 goes one step further in this ethos and this turns ...
Dirty Grandpa Competition
Jason Kelly (Zac Efron) is one week away from marrying his boss’s uber-controlling daughter, putting him on the fast track for a partnership at the law firm. However, when the straight-laced Jason is tricked into driving his foul-mouthed grandfather, Dick (Robert De Niro), to Daytona for spring break, his pending nuptials are suddenly in jeopardy. Between riotous frat parties, bar fights, and an epic night of karaoke, Dick is on a quest to live his life to the fullest and bring Jason ...
In the Heart of the Sea Movie Review
Based on the novel of the same name (author Nathaniel Philbrick’s 2000 non-fiction book), this template in a lesser director’s hands could have lead to a very processional outing. Howard’s film suffers from none of that limitation. The movie is a rousing edge of your seat ride that has a look and feel that takes you right into the heart of the tale of that great white monster, Moby Dick.
Chris Hemsworth leaves the fantasy world behind this time and delivers a very powerful perfor...
