  As I have made abundantly clear in posts past, the idea of zombies in general scare the proverbial out of me, and I have, until now, with the exception of the brilliantly crafted 28 Days Later and its sequel, 28 Weeks Later, avoided the undead like, well, the plague. Continue Reading

Posted on September 1, 2012September 4, 2012 by aussiemoose

Posted on August 31, 2012 by aussiemoose

Sesame Street: Sad day for The Count … and all of us

Posted on August 27, 2012August 27, 2012 by aussiemoose

  I have written often of my enduring love affair with Sesame Street, a magical TV program that is as funny as it is clever and educational. Central to the show from the beginning were the wonderful Muppet characters that, despite warnings from child psychologists in the late 1960s that Continue Reading

Sneak peek: “Glee” season 4 posters released

Posted on August 24, 2012August 24, 2012 by aussiemoose

  I will admit it. I am tad behind viewing the last of Glee’s season 3 episodes. It’s not from a lack of enthusiasm at all, but rather the clamour of so many shows baying for my attention. But I have a feeling that these new posters, just released to Continue Reading

  • This Christmas in July … I read Confessions of a Christmasaholic by Joss Wood
    (courtesy Harper Collins Publishers Australia) Christmas romantic comedies aren’t generally the time of stories to break the genre mold. And that’s perfectly okay because what you want, I would in fact argue, you need, from these types of tales is that everything that is broken can be fixed, that the Continue Reading

  • Book review: Rise and Shine by Kimberley Allsopp
    (courtesy Harper Collins Publishers Australia) There’s a popularly-held very binary dynamic at work when it comes to love stories. You’re either falling wildly and hopelessly in love with nothing but wine and roses and sunshine through dew drop eyes ahead of you … OR … you have reached the end Continue Reading

  • Book review: Thoroughly Disenchanted by Alexandra Almond
    (Harper Collins Publishers Australia) What great longing rests in the depths of our seemingly endless hearts and soul? For most of us, it’s really no more than a guess though if pressed we could likely name a few wished and longed-for things that we would like to see manifest like Continue Reading
  • Graphic novel review: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees by Patrick Horvath
    (courtesy Penguin Books Australia) Appearances, as we all know and have been instructed about repeatedly, can be deceiving. For one reason or another, people project one thing while living quite another, a white lie in most cases that avoids emotional entanglement, vulnerability or the need to share in something that Continue Reading
  • Book review: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
    (courtesy Penguins Books Australia) Delving deep into someone’s life over a long period of time is something rarely afforded to us unless they are a family member or close friend. We might know people well and converse, laugh and cry with them over all sorts of life events but really Continue Reading
  • Songs, songs and more songs #124: GRANT KNOCHE, MO, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lil Nas X + Miley Cyrus
    (via Shutterstock) Life is a LOT. And while there’s no escaping that, you can find ways to work through the myriad of emotions that summons, including of course channeling it into some highly cathartic music. These five artists do that brilliantly and well and the resultant songs manage to get Continue Reading
  • Book review: Salvage by Jennifer Mills
    (courtesy Pan Macmillan Australia) What would happen if the world “ended” in slow motion? In other words, rather than the big bang and boom of the usual fall of civilisation that we have seen documented in all kinds of apocalyptic storytelling, what if the cataclysmic hell of the end of Continue Reading
