Anyone fancy a trippy rummage around James McAvoy’s mind? Yes? (As if you wouldn’t want to!) Well then you’re in luck! The handsome actor, who surely must have a brain worth poking around in, is starring in Danny Boyle’s new trippy psychological thriller, Trance, as Simon, a fine art 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!
“Haven” : Normal has left the building
Right. So let’s say your housemate/husband/wife/erudite pet has been watching a show for 3 seasons and while you have caught glimpses here and there, you haven’t had time to stop and watch an episode due to life being crazy/more TV shows that you know what to do with / Continue Reading
Music review: “A is for Alpine” – Alpine
I love accidental discoveries. The joy of finding something utterly unexpected when you’re digging around for something else entirely, or perhaps not even looking for anything at all, is what keeps life interesting and elevates unremarkable moments into the pantheon of memorable points in time. And so it was Continue Reading
Phoenix rise with new album “Bankrupt!”
One of my favourite bands in the entire world – it could be the universe but having failed to leave orbit, I can testify to the complete veracity of that claim; although as a child, I had no such reticence, and proclaimed everything to be “the best in the Continue Reading
Movie review: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”
I have missed Middle Earth. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a welcome return to the magical land that exists somewhere in an alternate version of medieval England, brought to life in spectacularly vivid fashion once again by director Peter Jackson, and his collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens Continue Reading
Review: “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” is wizard … smashing … keen on stage
Last night, for exactly two hours and thirty-five minutes, I was a kid again. A whooping and hollering kid, delighted with life, and frankly not caring who knew it. No, this delightful reversion was not due to some bizarre act of DNA-reversing science, cooked up in some off-the-grid lab Continue Reading
Behold the bright pink unicorns of “Community”
I think we can all agree that what any edgy, quirky sitcom needs to truly cement itself as one of the greats in the pantheon of comedy awesomeness is muscular men dressed as unicorns. I mean, right? Right?! To be honest thought hadn’t even crossed my mind but by Continue Reading
Sneak peek: New trailer for “Defiance”
Another day. Another apocalypse. And once again Earth isn’t quite what it used to be. Welcome to Defiance, a town on the edge of a new hospitable frontier (the old St Louis, Missouri) where what’s left of humanity co-exists uneasily with the seven species that make up the alien Continue Reading
It’s the end of “Fringe” as we know it … and I don’t feel fine
Yet another sad day looms in the world of adventurous, interesting TV. The final episode of Fringe airs this Friday US time (it also functions as the series’ 100th episode), and behold it makes this fanboy mighty sad. If one thing has become abundantly clear as you read my Continue Reading
Swede Jonas Oakland dazzles with new single “When the Music Dies”
We all know the feeling. You’re enjoying a luminously transcendant night out with someone special, enclosed in your own perfect bubble of a world and quite naturally enough, you don’t want it to come to an end. It’s an odd mixture of exhilaration and melancholy as you’re carried away Continue Reading
