Wish You Were Here

I know I'm a bit biased when it comes to the savants behind the Aquarius Films and Blue-Tongue Films collective but I can't help it: these guys are just too damn good! Wish You Were Here is an emotional roller-coaster that explores the varying reactions of human beings when they are faced with turmoil. Felicity...

Dark Shadows After poor results in the form of Alice...

Channel 10 For The Win

It was pretty much decided from the end of last season that Channel 10's Masterchef would take out first place at what's shaping up to be TV's night of nights. Kicking off at 7:30pm on Sunday May 6th, Masterchef managed to retain a 1.3m average throughout its one hour premiere with its highest tune in reaching 1.6m. The...

Quit your whining!

The March 30th release of the Federal Government's Final Report from the Convergence Review has ruffled not just a few feathers amongst the media moguls but I'd have to say the entire plume. From The Australian to The Herald Sun, commentators around the country have contributed their two cents worth focusing mainly...
