This week’s episode brought the whole gang back together with the arrival of Coach (Damon Wayans Jr), and, let’s be honest, was anyone really expecting that plot? Strip clubs, crying, getting drunk (we probably expected those last two), and Taye Diggs saying ‘rubber baby buggy bumpers’. All signs of a great episode. It was nice…
Poor Camille Claudel. The famous artist would create a lasting legacy of sculptures and drawings that are still important and relevant today. But she was also one tortured artist. Camille Claudel 1915 attempts to capture all of these emotions and feelings. It’s also a French biopic that is a claustrophobic chronicle of three days in her sad life. Claudel…
Forget the Big Brother finale or the latest instalment of Underbelly, Australia’s television event of 2013 comes with the return of everyone’s favourite (or least favourite) polarising comedian. Chris Lilley’s Ja’mie: Private School Girl essentially picks up where we left off after Summer Heights High – it’s Ja’mie’s last year of high school, she’s the ‘quichest’ girl…
The fruits of plot and character seeds are beginning to flourish. Episode 4 illuminates character history and sets the foundation for war between the witches of Salem and the voodoo witches. Although a step up from the state the series began with, it is still unsubtle in conveying information. If you haven’t seen the last…
Homeland is back for another year. I will be chronicling the journeys of Carrie, Saul and Brody throughout the third season of the best show currently on television.

The story is simultaneously set in 19th Century and present-day Manhattan, revolving around a thief, a dying girl and a flying white horse. We’re thinking of this…
The horror genre has always been filled with a lot of rubbish. Audiences will pay to see anything if they think it will scare them, regardless of the quality. This has led to the success of many sub-par horror films in recent years. However, there has been one director quietly championing the return of proper,…
As an adaptation of Lloyd Jones’ award winning novel of the same name, Andrew Adamson has taken this story and breathed a visually rich and emotionally moving story to life on the big screen.

The team at the weekly US program Saturday Night Live, who each week feature a Celebrity guest host (and musical guest) alongside a team of comedians performing live sketch comedy,…
Three disconnected episodes make up this incredibly visceral short series, created by the incredibly talented and thought-provoking Charlie Brooker. The series has been described by some as a tragicomedy, and while it does have hints of sharp, witty humour throughout, the show is much more bone-chilling than anything else. A pervasive theme throughout the series…
(MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!) Some 196 days since the The Walking Dead last graced our screens, be it our TV or Laptop screens, it has finally returned with season four; 30 days without an accident. The first episode delivers with AMC’s usual gritty exterior and gruff style but what was missing was the gripping and suspenseful…

Well, what can we say about last week’s New Girl? First and foremost, it’s nice to see a lot of the usual humour is getting back on track, although I have to say that this season has already showcased some splendid jokes, if they really can be called that. The theme of episode five seemed to…
You’ve probably heard of the name ‘Sleepy Hollow’, you might be familiar with the original ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ story by Washington Irving, or maybe the Tim Burton horror film that featured Johnny Depp rings a bell? It’s a fairly popular and remade work of fiction and this time it gets a modern twist…
After a lacklustre pilot, there was still the potential for the season to produce nail-biting suspense and shocking twists that was delivered in the previous seasons. After the airing of the second episode, however, it seems we will have to wait a little longer. “American Horror Story: Coven” is set in the present day and although…
In a recent photo shoot for The Hollywood Reporter, Ricky Gervais is captured flipping the bird to the camera, whilst burning money with the smoke of his cigar.

There was a collective breath held when New Girl returned on September 17th. After the not-so-surprising but nevertheless big finish of last season, there was a definite curiosity about where this season could be heading, especially as we all know that TV relationships are never destined to work out. So what did the beginning of…
