BLACK PANTHER

THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX FAILS TO LAND
Are you a Star Trek fan? Then you aren’t missing much here. Dropped sensationally on Netflix the same day the trailer first aired at the Super Bowl, The Cloverfield Paradox, the third and by no […]
WHY LADY BIRD IS A TRIUMPH
There’s a beautiful moment at the beginning of Lady Bird where if you blink you’ll miss it. If you do it doesn’t matter, given Greta Gerwig’s latest bears too many to count. Christine, an imminent […]
PHANTOM THREAD
Have you ever seen a match stick house? They’re beautiful, quaint and instantly flammable. Watching Phantom Thread, itself a beautiful and considered construction, you can’t escape the niggling sensation that it’s a spark away from […]
FILM FIGHT CLUB S2E4: I, TONYA, SWEET COUNTRY, & THE COMMUTER
Where we fight about the “irony free,” “wildly contradictory” re-enactment of “true” events in Margot Robbie’s latest, Warwick Thornton’s masterful Sweet Country & the movie that should have been called Liam Neeson vs […]
I, TONYA
I, Tonya is a film about abuse and violence. There is also figure skating. And 80’s pop. Does that sound like an irreverent take on something that’s anything but irreverent? Do you get the feeling […]

Where we fight about the future of cinema and the best and worst things now streaming on Netflix – join Glen Falkenstein, Chris Evans & Virat Nehru Wednesdays on 2SER
TONSILS AND TWEEZERS
Involving and quintessentially Australian, Tonsils and Tweezers is a fresh gem full of local laughter, though a range of more pressing themes – many of which will be familiar to almost anyone who went through high school […]
MOLLY’S GAME
An aspiring make-or-breaker. The murky corridors that end in power. A fraught relationship with one’s dad. Aaron Sorkin fans won’t go home disappointed; the veteran writer and feature debut Director, unable to settle on one […]
THE COMMUTER: PRODUCTION MEETING
Fourth-time collaborators Liam Neeson & Jaume Collet-Serra had a bit of a break after the appropriately named Run All Night. It was time to make another movie. Liam: Jaume! Jaume: Liam! Liam: So, I was […]

THE SHAPE OF WATER
Director Guillermo Del Toro’s utterly beguiling ode to filmmaking’s most romantic era is unmissable cinema. Here combining the wonder of the most elusively mysterious monster fantasies with the loving spells which better characterised the unabashed […]
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD
Almost every film needs a bad guy. In the better ones, it may never be clear-cut. Starring Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, Christopher Plummer, Charlie Plummer (no relation) and not Kevin Spacey, All The Money In […]
FILM FIGHT CLUB S2E1 – THE LAST JEDI, GOLDEN GLOBES & BEST OF 2017

THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI
Martin McDonagh wants to make you wince. He wants to make you uncomfortable and, most significantly, he wants to make you laugh. The In Bruges Director, less interested in a roundly cohesive plot or internal […]
COCO
A formidable return to form for Pixar, Coco is an utter delight. The studio’s first with an all-Latino voice cast (save Pixar stalwart and Cheers veteran John Ratzenberger), Coco centres on music-obsessed child Miguel (Anthony […]

The Daily Movie Reviews on 2SER 107.3 – The Post, Coco, The Shape of Water & Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
THE POST
Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Government secrets, a scandalous true story and indomitable journalism. You could easily think this Pentagon Papers retrospective is a lock for Best Picture. It isn’t. The Post, based […]
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
The Greatest Showman isn’t even trying to be believable, and that’s the point. A hodgepodge of real life, fictions and glorifying showmanship that would make P.T. Barnum proud, this kid’s musical-biopic (yes, it’s for the […]
BRIGHT
Bright is not the best film of 2017. Contrary to what you might have heard, it’s not one of the worst ones either. First and foremost, Bright has, for lack of a better word, a […]
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME
Every once in a while a film comes along that reminds you how good cinema can be. You may be hearing a lot about Call Me By Your Name now and in the future, whether […]
