FILM REVIEW:: FATE OF THE FURIOUS

Get your popcorn ready! We have another Fast and Furious movie on our hands; the biggest franchise that just keeps giving; sometimes taking, but mostly giving. Full of adrenaline and heart pumping action, it’s a franchise that started off with an illegal car racing theme, but quickly turned it’s back on that and evolved into a series of films that was more about catching drug mules with fast cars. F8,

FILM REVIEW:: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

I hated Twilight. I hated it so much. So when I heard Bill Condon was directing this live action remake of Beauty and the Beast, I had a bit of fear in my heart. That, and the fact that anyone who touches Disney in any way, in my eyes, is playing with fire considering the field of masses that can storm into action if betrayed or disappointed. I was worried

GIG REVIEW:: Justin Bieber Live at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne

Well, here I am. Three for three when it comes to Justin Bieber concerts and I ain’t ashamed to say it out loud, regardless of the false stigma that comes with it. As they say; hater’s gon’ hate. The first thing I noticed that I can’t avoid mentioning, is the change in demographic from show to show.  During the My World tour in 2011, we had the squealing young girls

FILM REVIEW:: LOGAN

Well, here it is; Hugh Jackman’s final hoorah as the Wolverine. From start to finish, it is Jackman himself that defines and carries this film to the brink of masterpiece. This performance is like no other. Besides the unforgettable performance, it should be said that this is not just a great superhero movie. This is plainly a standout movie; exceptional, to say the least. You’ve never seen Jackman play Logan/Wolverine like

FILM REVIEW:: LION

It wasn’t long ago that Australia’s 60 Minutes introduced us to Saroo; a lost Indian boy who found himself adopted by Sue and John Brierley from Tasmania, and as an adult, used trusty Google maps to find his birth home and family. It was Australia’s favourite heart-warming story in 2013, and was on the lips of every Australian come Monday morning. Now, it’s been put up on the big screen

FILM REVIEW:: HACKSAW RIDGE

Wow. Just wow. Have you ever been in a position where you’re so overwhelmed with emotion by something that it leaves you completely speechless, but at the same time you have so much to say? But how do you even say it? I am so affected by this movie. It’s been such a long time since a movie has made this much of an impact that it sat with me

FILM REVIEW:: SING

Sing can be reviewed in two completely different ways; the adult view and the children’s view. However, it can be summed up honouring both – adults will enjoy this Illumination Entertainment film only if they think like a child and take a child with them. Both perspectives are as important as each other but only one truly matters – the kid’s. Buster Moon (a koala voiced by Matthew McConaughey) is in

FILM REVIEW:: ASSASSIN’S CREED

I’d like to make a disclosure going into this review that I have only ever observed the games, but never actually experienced the game play. All that is known by those who have never had the pleasure to play the 10 year old, 10 or so part, several main character game series, is that it’s based on factual historical timelines and the events that took place within those timelines, and

The Entertainment World In 2016

Three years in a row now, we start the year with a loss. This time, jazz singer Natalie Cole dies at 65. George R.R Martin misses another deadline. Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles spend some time together over the holiday season and that’s got everybody talking. JLo says a contestant on Idol sings ‘like a heavy girl’, and the world gets pissed. Seriously, 10 years ago, that comment would not
