Working on principles of found objects and transformation, this quietly touching piece highlights the beauty of an impossible life; one that ...

Enter Shikari Mindsweep Tour

As ever with ES you'll find yourself simultaneously inspired by their unique vision and despairing at how RARE such forward-moving revolutionary art is in this day and age. In a musical world where the by-rote and predictable seem to be the only 'risk' anyone's willing to take, and where lyrically rock'n'roll has never been more conservative, 'personal' and staid, Enter Shikari's music hits like a bolt from the blue, a living livid reminder of music's real ancient powers and future possib...

Pitch Perfect 2 Movie Review

The oddly cadenced film suffers from a script that is very uneven and a directing style that didn’t help to stitch things together. First time full-length film director Elizabeth Banks (who also stars in the film) just doesn’t have the accumulated chops to add much to the mix. When the film relies on storyline, it’s a bit of a mess but as a platform for one-liners, it is very funny. Rebel Wilson does the most with her joke riddled part and her over the top persona rivals the ...

Boychoir Movie Review

If the narrative sounds familiar that’s because it is. This same basic framework has been used over and over from Fame to Billy Elliot. Substitute the poor kid for a rich kid and you have Dead Poet's Society; substitute adults for the schoolboy and you have The Full Monty. Boychoir ticks off each obligatory plot point with metronomic predictability offering no new twists to a tired formula. Everything turns out exactly how you'd expect. The film boasts an impressive cast list including ...
