The short and the short of it: Seth Boyden’s delightful animated film An Object at Rest

Posted on May 13, 2015May 12, 2015 by aussiemoose

  Time takes its toll on us all. Body parts sag, all those things we thought we’d get done don’t get done, or at least not in the way we envisaged, and we find ourselves tumbled along by life to places we never ever thought we’d be. It’d not necessarily Continue Reading

  • Book review: Terms of Service by Ciel Pierlot
    (courtesy Penguin Books Australia) ARC courtesy Angry Robot Books – release date 23 September 2025 in UK and 28 October 2025 in Australia. One of the things I love about reading sci-fi/fantasy is endlessly and imaginatively expansive it can be. You could likely say that about any genre, but there’s Continue Reading
  • Where tyrants spend eternity … thoughts on Foundation S3 (E4-7)
    (courtesy AppleTV+) Not surprisingly, given the lavishly rewarding dense text of Isaac Asimov’s series from which this stremaing juggernaut is sourced, there is a LOT going on in Foundation. Not just over the four episodes under discussion here, but in each and every episode which cram so much in that Continue Reading
  • Book review: The Wolf Who Cried Boy by Mark Mupotsa-Russell
    (courtesy Affirm Press) The world is full, sagely observes a quote lifted onto the back cover of The Wolf Who Cried Boy by Mark Mupotsa-Russell, of magic and monsters. Those words simultaneously delight and terrify, and they capture the brilliantly evocative duality of this novel which takes you into the Continue Reading
  • The art and fun of Wallace the Brave: Watch creator Will Henry bring a Sunday strip to playfully colourful life
    (courtesy official Will Henry Twitter/X account (c) Will Henry/Go Comics) Wallace the Brave, which flows from the imaginatively whimsical hand of Will Henry, is of those unicorn comic strips that has it all. Set in the archetypal New England town of Snug Harbor [sic], the strip follows the adventures of Continue Reading
  • Fall in love all over again with French Lover
    (courtesy IMDb) SNAPSHOTAbel Camara (Omar Sy) is a star, a sex symbol. A child prodigy, he grew up in front of the cameras. He who seems to have everything—success, money, and the public’s love—is going through a rough patch. Marion (Sara Giraudeau), on the other hand, is far from the Continue Reading
  • Sci-fi review double: Invasion S3 (E1-2) and Star Trek Strange New Worlds S3 (E 6-8)
    (courtesy IMP awards) INVASION season 2 Episode 1: “The Ones We Leave Behind” When last we visited the blighted citizens of Invasion Earth, the alien mothership had crashed into a mountain range, heroes, U.S. soldier Trevante Cole (Shamier Anderson) and British schoolboy-turned-alien-psychic Caspar Morrow (Billy Barratt) were MIA, presumed dead, Continue Reading
  • Retro movie review: Jaws (50th anniversary)
    (courtesy IMP Awards) It’s well recognised time memories are a wholly unreliable witness. We might think we are recalling things exactly as they are, but when the truth of the matter surfaces, it soon becomes clear that we remember is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth but Continue Reading
  • Season 2 is the death of me: Thoughts on Wednesday S2 Part 1
    (courtesy IMP Awards) How do you, to wildly and wilfully paraphrase a song from The Sound of Music, solve a problem like keeping a franchise fresh and vital years after the height of its emergent and zeitgeist dominating popularity? It’s a great and enduring conundrum, one given even more present Continue Reading
  • Book review: June in the Garden by Eleanor Wilde
    (courtesy Text Publishing) We all crave a place to belong. There’s an innate drive to find our tribe, our people which defines all of us, with the presence of whatever we know as family enriching us and its absence impoverishing and isolating in ways innumerable. In short, we need companions Continue Reading
  • Songs, songs and more songs #127: Dyan Tai & Lupa J, Lydia Night, Alison Wonderland, MØ + Nemo + Eurovision 2026 updates
    (via Shutterstock) Pop music is catchy yes but you also want it to say something, mean something and make you feel something. There must be dancing and thinking and dives into the depths of the soul, all of which we get with these five songs from incredibly talented and marvellously Continue Reading
