A little while ago, I posted a little interview with Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling about their awesome Tropfest finalist film, Cargo. Since I last spoke about the little film that I am SO proud to have been involved in (that's me with the ADORABLE co-star, Ruth), Cargo has taken on the world and is KILLING it in cyber space. Last night, the one and only Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) tweeted about Cargo and it has been featured on… Read more »
Last week I saw Cloud Atlas, co-directed by Matrix masterminds Andy and Lana Wachowski and Run Lola Run director, Tom Twyker. and was pretty much blown away with it. I've been excited about the David Mitchell for some time and, despite being in a land of epic confusion most of the time, particularly the multitude of roles played by the stars (including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon and a host of others), I really enjoyed it. That's… Read more »
Awards season is in full force at the moment with the recent Golden Globes, Grammy's, BAFTA's; the pending Oscars; and – a little closer to home – the Australian film awards, the AACTA's. It is only right for the world's largest short film festival, Tropfest, to be smack bang in the middle of it all, and right in our own backyard. On Sunday 17th of February, The Domain in Sydney and (and SBS for anyone who can't make it) will… Read more »
The December-January period is my favourite time of year for movies, mostly due to the pending award season. The studios release their creme de la creme at this time of the year and that always makes me happy! Here are the films on my must-see list: Les Miserables I adore this beautiful musical and with a mixture of Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) and a fairly epic cast (Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe, Sasha Baron-Cohen) all doing… Read more »
A few weeks ago, a new Aussie web series called In Transit was brought to my attention. The series follows a group of 20-somethings battling their way through relationship confusion, career challenges, and life in general as an adult (even when you don't feel ready to be an adult yet). The premise of the series is one very close to my heart. I feel like most of my 20s have revolved around these feelings of making it up as you… Read more »
Dark Shadows is the latest Tim Burton/Johhny Depp collaboration and another collaboration, Warner Bros and PartnersHub are giving Through My Looking Glass readers the chance to win a copy of the film on Blu Ray. Depp stars as Barnabas Collins, trapped for two centuries by an evil witch and his ex-lover (played by gorgeous 'Bond girl', Eva Green). Barnabas is awoken from his deep slumber in the 1970s and has to adjust to a new way of life, all while attempting… Read more »
Girls is another show that I've had in my possession for AGES and just haven't had a chance to watch. And then I watched it all. In one sitting. Cos that's how I roll. I'm not going to carry on (again) about how much I love HBO for what it has done for American television, because I always do that. But, let me just say that Girls is another HBO production (for some people, that should be reason enough to… Read more »
Soooo, I haven't done a review over here in a while partly because I'm now the film reviewer on Write About Me.

In the meantime, I've seen a few other films… Read more »
Hey there, so I'm all over the place at the moment, writing posts for different sites. This week I'm over on Write About Me with my review of new Aussie flick, The Sapphires, and I'm going to be a regular film reviewer on the site, exciting! Check it out and let me know what you think. Have you seen it? Do you want to see it? In retrospect, my star rating might have been a bit out, I'd probably… Read more »
