Deliberate in pace yet nimble on its toes, After Yang lulls the audience into a world not too distant from the one we live in; serene and serendipitous in its own, melancholic way.

All in all, After Blue (Dirty Paradise) is a wild and weird dreamscape of a film, complete with glowing crystals, high fashion accessories, and no less than 25 mentions of the words “Kate Bush”

The kids had fun, I had fun and most importantly the Earth had fun. For at its heart, Trash with a Porpoise is a show with a purpose. Not content with the schooling system to educate our youth, performers Jemima, Joseph and Julia will not rest until every child in the metro-Melbourne area washes the hard plastic containers strawberries come in.

The Northman is an unyielding hell song of blood, dirt and firelight. Robert Eggers hasn't changed a bit and it's a blessing to us all.

Like a well thought out stage performance, Dreams on Fire aims not just to thrill, but also to move. Pulsing through its veins is a rich marriage of emotion and style, resulting in a film experience that commands attention, intoxicating the audience with an audio-visual assault on the senses.

One of the defining contentions of the film is who is justified in this situation, or rather who is the true captor and who is the true victim? Is it David, an obsessive programmer who didn’t think of the consequences of his actions? Or is it Al, a supercomputer who didn’t ask to be made but will stop at nothing to be free?

After being rejected for a “game changer” role, Nick Cage takes the job of entertaining eccentric millionaire superfan Javi (Pedro Pascal) at his birthday party in Spain. Things take an action-movie turn when the CIA recruits Nick to spy on Javi as they believe him to be an extremely dangerous cartel kingpin.

The Kardashian family makes their triumphant TV return in The Kardashians, and they’re here to pull back the curtain that was behind the curtain they pulled back for Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

I’m sure some comedians spend ages preparing for one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world. With Ross, I honestly couldn’t tell where the script ended & the improv began. That factor increased my immersion with his runaway gags tenfold […]

Bikinis were not the dress code at this event, but the queen was on full display for the whole hour during this subdued take on self-acceptance. 

I could imagine this movie disappointing many crowds: the hardcore lore-centric fans, people who loved the first one and didn’t want change, people who didn’t like the first one even least a little bit, etc. But I can assure you of two crowds that really enjoyed this movie: children (because Jim Carrey seemingly resurrected The Grinch in this performance), and me. 

In his fourth stand-up special to date, and hopefully many more to come, Jai creates a wholly unique framework of comedy that contains a masterful control of structure and tone, as well as a hilarious and self-deprecating editorial of his own life. 

The man captivated the room’s attention for the full Power Hour and really at a comedy show can I ask for more? He kept on a strict beat, whether it was half-time when he plugged his merch, 15 minutes before the show ended when he plugged his merch, or when the show ended as he plugged his merch. 

While not packing the usual one-two gut punch of most of its horror contemporaries, World’s Fair blends familiar mumblecore, coming-of-age and micro-budget horror elements into a film that’s greater than the sum of its parts, equally unnerving, hypnotic and experimental in the same breath.

Happening is one of those rare films that makes you think just as much as it makes you feel. Its subject matter is intense; a young girl Anne Duchesne becomes pregnant from a one-night stand and is suddenly caught between a painful crossroad wherein one path resigns her to a life of wasted potential and shame, while the other sets her free, only this path appears seemingly impossible to gain access to.

The Good Boss works very well as a corporate satire, with biting insights into how powerful people manipulate those around them in order to maintain said power, but it wouldn’t be the same without the central performance from Javier Bardem, who makes the film endlessly watchable and entertaining.

Some viewers may find Secrets of Dumbledore to be exactly what they want, after all it does offer a fair amount of fan service and proves there is still some fun to be had with this universe, but I can only speak from my personal experience, which was woefully unmoving.

As I was watching this film I couldn’t help but remember a certain A-list celebrity who recently told people to get off their asses and work. Gavel’s film is the perfect response to comments like this; it is just an added bonus that it happens to be an enthrallingly thrilling film too.

The new trend is “villain” films, and like most of its contemporaries, Morbius can’t commit to that promise, nor does it really commit to much else.

The former 2018 Theatre Sydney Smackdown Championship winners work well off each other, effortlessly sliding in and out of different characters and scenes, each more bizarre than the next. You can truly see why they’ve been such an accomplished duo since 2017.
