Behold the bright pink unicorns of “Community”

Posted on January 18, 2013January 21, 2013 by aussiemoose

  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

  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

Swede Jonas Oakland dazzles with new single “When the Music Dies”

Posted on January 15, 2013January 15, 2013 by aussiemoose

  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

Some lighthearted “The Big Bang Theory” fun for the weekend

Posted on January 13, 2013January 10, 2013 by aussiemoose

  I discovered this gem on the web today, traced it back to its original home – made sense it was the official site the-big-bang-theory.com – and had to share it since (a) I love this show and (b) the “Soft Kitty” song rocks and this homage to it is wonderful Continue Reading

R’ha: the future of sci-fi greatness

Posted on January 11, 2013January 11, 2013 by aussiemoose

  There’s a huge amount of buzz on the interweb today about a little six minute sci-fi film from an aspiring German film director, and not without good cause. It is, quite simply, amazing. Made over seven months and drawing from established sci-fi properties like Terminator and Battlestar Galactica without Continue Reading

Teaser poster for “The Walking Dead” mid-season 3 return released

Posted on January 10, 2013January 11, 2013 by aussiemoose

  As I suspected the Governor, who lost an eye and his zombie-fied daughter in a violent tussle with Michonne in his very own secret fishtanks-full-of-zombie-heads chamber o’ horrors – the perfect place to rest and relax after tending to your Stepford Wives-esque refuge from the apocalypse don’t you think?

The dark shadows of “Utopia”

Posted on January 10, 2013January 16, 2013 by aussiemoose

  There was a time, a kindler, gentle less connected time when reading comic books was something that kids did on rainy days, escaping into magical worlds where superheroes saved the world (when, of course they weren’t being existentially sick to the stomach about it; I’m talking to you Batman).

Wine up! “Cougar Town” returns

Posted on January 9, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Ok here’s the insane thing (just the one dear?). I am in Australia, thousands of miles from the USA, with no hope of getting there in time to see it, but I am beyond excited that my beloved Cougar Town is back on air 10/9c Tuesday night US time Continue Reading

  • Review of the rest : Shrinking S3, E7-11
    (courtesy IMP Awards) Streaming riddle me this: when is a series finale not a series finale? When it’s the final episode of the third season of Shrinking which was originally scoped out for three seasons until Apple came a-calling again, says the show’s creator creator, and asked whether there might Continue Reading
  • Movie review: Cycle of Time (C’était mieux demain) #AFFF26
    (courtesy IMDb) In every way that matters to the social mores of 1958, Hélène and Michel Dupuis (Elsa Zylberstein and Didier Bourdon respectively) are a typical, happy married couple, each operating within their narrow, heavily-proscribed lanes. Hélène, immaculately displayed in tightly fashionable, figure hugging dresses and with a not a Continue Reading
  • Fantasy April book review: Fathomfolk (The Drowned World Duology, Book 1) by Eliza Chan
    (courtesy Hachette Australia) Imagination is the power source behind any great fantasy novel but as anyone who has read many books in the genre will attest, not all imaginative minds are created equal. Having just finished the gloriously clever storytelling that is Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan, it is well and Continue Reading
  • Movie trailer double: Captain Tsunami and Remarkably Bright Creatures
    Ah, movies I love you. Being able to sit back in the dark of a cinema, and yes, while I appreciate the convenience of streaming as a catch-up device, my heart still very much sits with going and joining fellow moviegoers in a public space. These two films looks delightful Continue Reading
  • Fantasy April book review: The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne by Summer N. England
    (courtesy Hachette Australia) Hiding away from the world, even if it’s in plain sight, is something that anyone who has undergone trauma is very adept at doing. You may long for happy-ever-afters and a community to call your own and a life that’s buoyant and free but the truth of Continue Reading
  • How does the audition of a lifetime go? Thoughts on Bait
    (courtesy IMP Awards) If you have so much as stepped out of your house at any point in your life, and the odds are good you have, you will have definitely come into contact with the socially toxic tendrils of a narcissist. You know the type – people who overwhelm Continue Reading
  • Graphic novel review: Haru (Book 3) – Fall by Joe Latham
    (courtesy Simon & Schuster) It’s easy to think that war and hatred, bigotry and violence are far more powerful than love and peace, joy and community. After all, the former are emphatically bombastic and loud; they look powerful, they appear menacing, bristling muscular energy of the worst, most destructive kind Continue Reading
  • Book review: Spring at Flora’s House by Freya North
    (courtesy official Freya North site) Identity is a powerful driver for every person alive. Not all of us may acknowledge it outright, but whether we emphatically embrace the dogma of a religion, the fervency of fandom of a football team or we live and breathe artistic expression in all its Continue Reading
  • Easter is fun! Mini-reviews of Banjo the Hot Cross Bun, Pink Easter + Never Touch a Grumpy Bunny
    (via Shutterstock) I adore kids’ books. Sure they were once upon just books to read to my nieces and nephews, but they’ve grown past books like these now, and yet, in reading them to my favourite little people, it hit me that here are some fun stories worth reading just Continue Reading
