Posted on January 7, 2017January 7, 2017 by aussiemoose

  Movie posters are powerful things. They are often instrumental in us forming opinions of a film long before we sit down in a cinema and give a sense of visual style and story to the increasingly lavish and diverse marketing that marks the release of many movies. So notable Continue Reading

“Here’s looking at you, kid” Top 10 types of character goodbyes in movies

Posted on January 7, 2017November 4, 2016 by aussiemoose

  Saying goodbye is never easy. And no one knows that better than the purveyors of cinema who have helped their audiences make sense of grief and loss since the first film flickered to life in the 1890s. As this deeply-informative video from Cinefix distills beautifully, cinemas role in this regard Continue Reading

  • Movie review: The Whale
    Being emotionally affected by a movie is hardly a unique experience. In fact, when you go to see a film, you want to be moved in some way whether it’s eliciting a laugh in a comedy, a romantic swoon-worthy sign in a rom-com, or a gasp of fear or amazement Continue Reading
  • Time for some Trustfall – P!NK previews new album with Kelly Clarkson
    SNAPSHOTTrustfall is the upcoming ninth studio album by American singer Pink. The album is scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023, through RCA Records. The album features guest appearances from The Lumineers, Chris Stapleton and First Aid Kit. (courtesy Wikipedia) A new album from one of your favourite music Continue Reading
  • Book review: The Exiled Fleet (A novel of the Divide #2) by J. S. Dewes
    Finding intimate character moments in the midst of a sprawling space opera may seem like a strange anomaly, but the truth is that the two go together in ways many people not familiar with genre may not fully expect. Much like movie blockbusters which neatly characters with real, fully-rounded humanity Continue Reading
  • The short and the short of it: The Kite and a beautifully moving story of connection
    SNAPSHOTSummer is about to end, and while fruit is growing ripe on the trees, Grandpa gives his beloved Grandson a kite. The kite is strong and tosses the boy around in the air, but Grandpa catches him. Leaves begin to fall and Grandpa has grown weak. The srong autumn wind Continue Reading
  • Book review: Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood
    Can one day change everything? If you’re Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood, it can and it does, with less than 24 hours in fact bringing about a messy kind of Road to Damascus moment for the titular character who finally confronts the one issue that ended up splintering her Continue Reading
  • Movie review: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
    One of the criticisms levelled at romantic comedies aka rom-coms more often than not is that they are light and ephemeral as their frothy subject matter. It’s an unfair dig in many respects since most rom-coms are simply there to transport us from the ugly, loveless everyday and into a Continue Reading
  • Engage: Star Trek Picard final season drops new trailer and artwork
    SNAPSHOTThe third and final season of the American television series Star Trek: Picard features the character Jean-Luc Picard during the 25th century as he reunites with the former command crew of the USS Enterprise (Geordi La Forge, Worf, William Riker, Beverly Crusher, and Deanna Troi), who are being hunted by Continue Reading
  • Thoughts on The Last of Us episodes – “Infected” and “Long Long Time” (S1, E2 and E3 review)
    SPOILERS AHEAD … AND FUNGI MONSTERS FROM YOUR KISSABLE NIGHTMARES … Apocalypses are never meant to be fun. The very cadence of the word suggests that, but if you add in the arrival of climate change horrors or monsters or aliens, that point is well and truly driven home as Continue Reading
  • Book review: Wolfsong by TJ Klune
    Being loved unconditionally and truly belonging are two of the greatest gifts anyone can ever receive. They bolster the heart, restore the soul and they are utterly alien to Oxnard Matheson, protagonist of TJ Klune’s latest masterpiece, Wolfsong. Not because he hasn’t been loved at all – he has always Continue Reading
  • Mini-mass of movie trailers: Unexpected, We Have a Ghost and The Strays
    I love going out to the movies. Yes, sometimes thoughtless idiots talk through the film and there’s always popcorn on the floor and there’s the effort of getting out and about BUT it’s lovely just being with other people and experiencing a film together that is so magically intoxicating. But Continue Reading
