Beauty in the B Grade is coming to GOMA next month!

From the sublime to the outrageous, ‘Beauty in the B Grade’ celebrates the ‘B’ movie at its height from the 1930s to the 1960s. Produced quickly, with a fraction of the budget of an ‘A’ feature film, ‘B’ pictures mirrored popular genres of the time, and screened before the highly publicised ‘A’ film in double features at movie theatres in the 1930s and 1940s. With the rising popularity of television in the 1950s — and with a delight in tales of haunted houses, mystical ...

Moro Spanish Film Festival – Carmen & Lola Movie Review

This secret has the ability to blow both their worlds apart but young love only knows young love. This examination of a culturally forbidden love is presented as part social story and part teen drama. It helps the teen drama aspect that both women are very attractive, this however blunts the film’s social impact. It is still a fascinating insight into the Gypsy world, a world very few know.   //   Carmen & Lola is screening in Brisbane: Palace James Street Sunday ...

In This is Pep Too! Exhibition coming to Metro Arts this May!

Drawing on the personal and borrowing from the everyday, Atkins uses playful colour and form to articulate experiences that occur at the intersection of failure, doubt and defiant enthusiasm. Where naïve motivational rhetoric marches blindly forward, and smirking satire marches stubbornly on the spot, the work in This Is Pep Too! huffs and huddles and meanders.   //   It thrusts its hand skyward and just as quickly retracts and takes cover. It offers an alternate ...

1985 Movie Review

Set in the waning days of 1985, Adrian has long since moved to New York from the small town in Texas he used to call home. His father Dale (played by Michael Chiklis) is a Vietnam vet who still carries the emotional scars from combat and colours almost all his actions based on religious dogma.   //   His mother Eileen (Virginia Madsen) is a loving soul but also a believer. Not having a point of reference of the manner in which Adrian carried himself in the past, you ...

Avengers: Endgame Movie Review

First it must be said that I like Marvel movies but don’t live them. With that being the case, there are few films that run for over three hours that leave you with the feeling you could easily do another few hours (after a nature break that is). This film accomplishes that feeling as it delivers a mammoth amount of information.   //   It is also satisfying in so many ways. It has colossal action and human endeavour, both large and small. Some participants don’t make ...
