2025 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival – I Am Martin Parr Movie Review
That is a box that British photographer Martin Parr has stepped outside of all throughout his career. His early black & white work, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary in normal British life, is fantastic and more than a bit humorous. When he made the switch to colour photography in the early eighties, his work continued to show British life as even more colourful.

The story is told by the man himself, with fellow photographers and historians helping to ...
Watch the trailer for Edge of Life – coming to cinemas November 13!
The doorway to death is the last great frontier in a human life. Intellectually, we all know our lives will end, and yet - in the Western world at least - we act as if death is a mirage, disappearing the closer we move towards it. Two doctors in Australia are using psilocybin to help ease the anguish of their patients at end-of-life, and the results they have seen are truly remarkable.

Dale Frank Nobody’s Sweetie Movie Review
The film gives you snapshots of his life. His move to Europe and his artistic output then that coincided with the Punk movement in England during the Thatcher years. His slow integration into the upper echelon of the Australian art world, the socioeconomic realities of the eighties and a late-in-life diagnosis of Autism that was a major revelation.
//
Throughout it all he just kept creating art. The film includes an amazing selection of his works as still images and ...

Becoming Led Zeppelin Movie Review
One of the stand-out features is how amazing the sound is on the live clips and the separation of the instruments is superb. Bassist John Paul Jones’ low-end output floats in isolated space and drummer Bonham’s kit is fully revealed. It’s amazing how he got such a powerful low-frequency sound with only a single bass drum. Bonzo as he was affectionately known was such a powerhouse and the film fully reveals that.

Guitarist Jimmy Page goes deep into the ...

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story Movie Review
Reeve, who started his acting career in the theatre was plucked from relative obscurity by landing the role of Superman over a large number of Hollywood hopefuls including Neil Diamond! Landing this gig was a double-edged sword though and he suffered from being typecast as the man of steel for the rest of his active acting career. It forever limited him in the choice of acting roles offered to him.
