Review: InterContinental Tahiti Spa and Resort presents French Polynesia in style

The InterContinental Tahiti Resort and Spa delivers luxury with island charm and an ocean view for everyone. It doesn’t take much to float dreams of French Polynesia through your mind’s eye. When words like “Tahiti” and “Bora Bora” are thrown into the wind, we all get visions of steep mountains carpeted in lush green jungle,…

Film Review: Shelter; latest action entry in the Statham canon is solid, if hardly groundbreaking

There is a strangely elegiac calm to the opening stretch of Ric Roman Waugh’s latest Jason Statham vehicle, Shelter – one that might catch viewers expecting immediate punches, car chases, and broken necks slightly off guard. For a while, this isn’t really a movie about violence so much as solitude: wind-battered cliffs, a creaking wooden…

Film Review: We Bury the Dead; Daisy Ridley anchors emotionally laced survivalist horror effort

There is something almost old-fashioned in the way writer/director Zak Hilditch approaches the end of the world in We Bury the Dead: less as a spectacle of chaos, more as a slow, sad reckoning with what remains when everything familiar has vanished.

Code Vein 2 is functional and fun in certain places, and underwhelming in others

The first Code Vein didn’t really grab much of my attention when it released back in 2019, but I had gotten around to it some time later, with some surprisingly pleasant results. I wouldn’t go as far as to say it broke new ground within the Souls-like genre, but it certainly did enough to warrant…

InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach leads the city’s coastal revolution

As I wrote on the recent opening of IHG’s voco Gosford on the Central Coast, some of Sydney’s oldest seaside hotels are being dusted up for well-timed makeovers, some moulding into more premium brands, while others (like voco) sprout as brand-new builds. “A new chapter in coastal luxury” is what they’re calling it, with IHG…
