Hook, Line and Sinker

Posted 3:33am Thursday 7th July 2011 by Michaela Hunter

Directed by Andrea Bosshard and Shane Loader, (3/5). Prior to viewing this film, I was impressed by its grassroots origins; it was shot over 5 weeks with a crew of 12, a cast of 100, in 35 different locations, on a cash budget of less than $40,000 and self-distributed to 47 screens around the Read more...

Hoodwinked Too: Hood vs. Evil

Posted 3:31am Thursday 7th July 2011 by Madeleine Wright

Directed by Mike Disa, (2/5). When a movie screens at 4pm every day during the week with no alternative, it’s a fairly safe bet that the average age of the target market is somewhere between 7 and 14. Hoodwinked Too: Hood vs. Evil fits this model perfectly. It had everything a modern Read more...

Directed by Alexander Roman, (1.5/5) Morbid curiosity and a long time obsession with the film Heavenly Creatures lured me to Rialto to see this documentary about the Parker-Hulme murder case of 1954. A film with the potential to be a fascinating exploration of this dark stain on New Read more...

Director: Herschell Gordon Lewis, Starring: Ray Sager, Judy Cler, Wayne Ratay. I first came across The Wizard of Gore when it was mentioned in the movie Juno and I decided I needed to know more. Could this be the goriest movie ever? I intended to find out. The premise is pretty Read more...

Looking swell while studying up a storm

Posted 4:22am Wednesday 6th July 2011 by Mahoney Turnbull

Campus Perspective La Femme Exams + fashion. Not a wholly happy combination. In fact, a damn hard equation to nut out. Exams are like the fatal bullet of bogan-esque brutality, reducing even the most elegant to debased forms of style, especially with this haphazard weather of late. Read more...

The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul

Posted 4:04am Wednesday 6th July 2011 by Sarah Maessen

Author: Deborah Rodriguez, Publisher: Bantam, (1/5). I will admit it from the outset; I didn’t finish this book. It looked like a light, easy read, probably about women with troubles finding friendship. My first mistake was to browse the back. A quote caught my eye: “as if Read more...

Blue Oyster Project Space With the potential to both repel and capture the viewer, Justin Spires’ photographs in his Castleland exhibition enable the viewer to feel as though they are sneaking into and infiltrating an array of fortresses. Castleland is formulated around the purpose of a Read more...
