I have a confession. Don’t judge me. In a childhood preoccupied with Captain Planet and Bananaman, I NEVER watched TMNT. I haven’t seen the show, or the movies, nor read the comics and I never […]
Peter Capaldi’s eyebrows have their own stage presence. They are are a distinct and unique entity which operate independently from the rest of his bodily functions. At least so much was made clear by the new […]

Chris Evans is finished. The young, handsome, highly prolific Captain America has announced that he will not pursue acting beyond his Marvel Contract and the Avengers sequels. So what does an actor with every door […]
I told some friends that there was a comedy-horror-musical mash-up at the Sydney Film Festival and was politely relegated to seeing this one on my own. ‘Stage Fright’ is an acquired taste, a film one could […]
