A lifetime of service to the natural world – and those who love it: Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough! #Happy100thDA
One of the great and much-loved constants of my life has been the presence of Sir David Attenborough in many of the natural world documentaries I have watched and have come to love.

Movie review catch-up: Suncoast
(courtesy IMP Awards) Growing up, and especially starting on the transition to adulthood, is never an easy thing at the best of times, but when you’re life is not “normal”, not even close to it, (and that’s leaving aside the fact that the very idea of normal is a rubbery Continue Reading
New releases May book review: Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth
As a reviewer who knows a metric ton of books in a year, I have come across a few “second chances” books in my time, stories which ask what might happen if socially isolated or broken people burdened by past mistakes were given the opportunity to remake their lives (deliberately Continue Reading

(courtesy Image Comics) If you grew up in the ’80s or ’90s, you will know a thing or two, cinematically firsthand, about what it feels like for someone to narratively put the pedal to the metal and never once depress it. It’s a blockbuster pellmell ride into action excess and Continue Reading
Movie review redux: Star Wars: The Force Awakens #StarWars #Maythe4thBeWithYou
Returning to your childhood, especially when it comes to the movies and TV shows the defined it, can be a fraught activity. There is an excitement certainly, how can there not be, but there’s also a sense that this nostalgic excursion may not be quite the enjoyable embrace with an Continue Reading
Book (ish) review: Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon (short story) #StarWars #Maythe4thBeWithYou
(courtesy Penguin Books Australia) One of the more enjoyable pop culture trends of recent years has been the willingness to give less iconic characters a little more time in the storytelling sun. Concomitant with this, has been an appetite for imbuing these characters, good and bad, with more humanity and Continue Reading
Movie review: The Devil Wears Prada 2
(courtesy IMP Awards) Sequels are curious things. People crave, desire, need and want them because who doesn’t want to see a story continue, but they are, often more than not, disappointed by them because while scratch an itch, it’s only on the viewing (or the reading etc) that it’s realised Continue Reading
