[FILM: Review] The Descendants
The Descendants Opens January 12 **** Never in my wildest dreams when I watched Election did I imagine that Alexander Payne would end up at Sideways; from a stylised dark comedy about an insanely ambitious teen, to a bleakly funny odd-couple road trip, about two pretentious middle-aged guys. But when you sketch-in About Schmidt between [...]

[FILM: Review] Hugo 3D
Hugo 3D Opens January 12 ***** Cinema has been the consuming passion of Martin Scorsese’s life.

It’s surprising, [...]

[MUSIC: Live Review] Space Ibiza Presents Kehakuma @ Greenwood Hotel, Sunday January 1
With the sun finally sweltering, and Seth Troxler playing early due to his Melbourne commitments, there was no easing into Space New Year’s Day – it was all systems go from the time we ambled through the Greenwood gates circa 1pm. Despite the absurd door policy claiming one of our cohort early – no sandals [...]

[MUSIC: Live Review] Fleet Foxes @ Sydney Opera House, Monday February 2
Besides the smoke machine, there’s something special in the air as Seattle six-piece Fleet Foxes take the Concert Hall stage; it’s the second day of a new year, Sydney summer is in glorious evidence outside, and a packed-out audience give the folk-rocksters a rockstar welcome. “This is absurd,” frontman Robin Pecknold murmurs shyly, before launching [...]
