When it comes to the best-selling acts to come out of Australia, people might think of rock bands, like AC/DC, and A-list actors, like Nicole Kidman.

‘Now and Then’ says hello and goodbye to the Beatles’ legendary discography
The Beatles’ influence on music is undeniable. The Fab Four dominated the music scene of the 1960s and the success of their discography is unlikely to be replicated.

‘Zoey 102’ is an okay film, but lacks most of the charm and spirit of ‘Zoey 101’
Like most people my age, I was obsessed with “Zoey 101” when I was younger. I wanted to live and go to school at Pacific Coast Academy, ride a Jet-X, use a Tekmate and hang out with Zoey and her friends. The Nickelodeon show was an essential part of my childhood and I watched reruns […]

‘Asteroid City’ is Wes Anderson to the extreme
Wes Anderson has built a name for himself amongst the film lover community. This is not only for the stories that he tells, but also the aesthetics that he creates. The over-saturation, the use of symmetry, cut-and-dry dialogue and precocious characters are just some of the staples of Anderson’s dialogue. It has come to a […]
