I love a good sitcom. But I adore truly great clever ones, and it has to be said, COMMUNITY is one of the best for years. It is edgy, clever, funny, takes risks, and still somehow manages to be sweet and touching without resorting to mawkishness. While the cast, all Continue Reading

I am an extrovert gay man living in Sydney who loves Indian food, current affairs, music, film and reading, caramel anything, and a beautiful guy called Steve who makes every day a delight. I am trying to get two novels in a trilogy ready for e-publication, love my iPhone & iPod, and am secretly Canadian in my soul. Life is fun, exciting and joyful and I aim to make the absolute most of it!
Goodbye Ms Amy Winehouse
What an amazing talent. Yet sadly like so many amazing talents, she was so plagued by her inner demons, that the talent was overshadowed, and ultimately consumed by it. Such a tragedy for a lady who could have had so much, and a world robbed of such a precious gift.RIP Continue Reading
News of the World…. The Art of Evasive Sleaze
Today (UK time), 19 July Rupert Murdoch & James faced a British parliamentary enquiry established to looking into the News of the World scandal, which grows wider and more damaging by the way, and while very little of anything was admitted to by them (like that was a surprise), comments Continue Reading
Emmy Nominations are in!
I would like to say I am a connoisseur of hip quality TV, but the truth is I love and need it so much that I am, in all truth, a junkie. I need my fixes of my favourite shows like Nurse Jackie, Glee, Big Bang Theory, Modern Fanily and Continue Reading
FLICKS FLASHBACK! Never Let Me Go / Oranges and Sunshine
Movie review: Meek’s Cutoff
What an odd movie. I mean truly odd. Watching it felt like we’d entered the cinema late and missed the beginning, and then someone forget to tack the end onto it. Now I need to say straight off that I like movies that are more experience-driven than narrative-driven, since Continue Reading
Movie review: Super 8 / Bridesmaids
Super 8 I loved this movie! It promised a return to feel good 1970s family movies with a 21st Century knowing postmodern edge and it didn’t fail to deliver. Media wunderkind, JJ Abrams of LOST and Alias fame, continues to show that spending his childhood in the 70s making Continue Reading
My new favourite Coldplay songs!
I adore Coldplay! I know some hip snobsters sneer at their mainstream-ness but being the sort of person that rejects snobbery in any and every form, and abhors people who elevate high art over low art – arbitary subjective delineations if ever there was some! – but I love their Continue Reading
Movie review: Water For Elephants and X Men : First Class
Two great movies but vastly different. WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is a movie that surprised me completely. I had expected a love story, set in a Depression-era circus travelling across the United States, and while that is in part, largely what I saw, it was also a movie with great cruelty Continue Reading
Hey Dee Dee B!
Dee Dee Bridgewater in concert – Sydney Opera House – Saturday 28 May 2011 Wow! I am not an R & B or Jazz aficionado, and was only here because my R & B devoted Fahmi bought tickets to the concert for my gorgeous guy and I so we could Continue Reading
