Bringing a beloved literary character to the screen is never simple – but in the case of Scarpetta, the journey has been particularly long. The television adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels has been decades in the making, and now a powerhouse cast led by Nicole Kidman is finally stepping into the world of…

For decades, readers of Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels have followed the meticulous, morally driven investigations of medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. Now, the character finally makes the leap to television in Scarpetta, with Nicole Kidman (possibly the busiest woman working in Hollywood) stepping into the blood-spattered lab coat. It’s a fitting match. Kidman brings…

Melbourne has always been a city where bands quietly evolve out of long musical histories. Musicians move between projects, scenes shift, venues come and go, but the through-line is the players who keep writing songs. The Droptails are very much part of that tradition. This incarnation, formed during Melbourne’s extended COVID lockdowns, brings together musicians…

I walk around my neighbourhood to see that almost every single house has some sort of security camera. It feels almost necessary at this point, given the abundance of security concerns that only seem to grow with every news piece that hits our social media feeds. But it also does feel like the only way…

The legacy of Little Nightmares is instantly recognisable. Its unsettling visual language, with tiny protagonists navigating oversized environments filled with grotesque figures, has become iconic in the horror platforming genre.

When Jennifer Lopez released Rebirth in March 2005, expectations were enormous – perhaps impossibly so. The album arrived in the long shadow of two pop-cultural juggernauts: J.Lo (2001) and This Is Me… Then (2002), records that helped define early-2000s pop and R&B. Both albums produced major hits, iconic imagery, and a public persona that blurred…

Since its beginning in 2013, Canadian teen dance drama The Next Step has become an iconic piece of pop culture history for the younger generation.

After a little over two decades together, The Horrors are still finding new ways to evolve. The British alt-rock band recently hit their 20-year milestone following the release of their latest album Night Life– a record that leans slightly into a darker, more intimate side of their sound. With recent lineup changes reshaping the creative…

What a week for music at the world-famous Sydney Opera House! Complementing the already iconic line-up of Grace Jones, The Streets and Basement Jaxx, was Britpop legends, Pulp. At arguably the best outdoor venue on the circuit, the ‘On the Steps’ series welcomed Cocker and friends for two nights of playing the hits. However, this…

When The Fabulous Baker Boys arrived in 1989, it carried the modest shape of a character drama: two weary lounge musicians drifting through a career of half-empty hotel bars and forgotten standards. What transformed the film into something electric was the arrival of Michelle Pfeiffer as Susie Diamond – a character who, in lesser hands,…

I’ve admittedly never been a huge fan of the Tales series, or even played the original Tales of Berseria when it released back in 2017, so this review is going to be its own little tale of two takes, if you wish. On the one hand, Tales of Berseria is actually a really competent and…

During the final stage of U.S. Army Ranger selection, a routine training exercise mutates into something far more dangerous in War Machine – a survival thriller that hits the ground running and never lets up. Speaking with director Patrick Hughes and star Alan Ritchson, our Peter Gray unpacked the film’s pulse-pounding rhythm, from meticulously engineered…

There’s something undeniably infectious about GOAT. It moves at the speed of a sugar high and rarely stops to breathe, which is either part of its charm or its greatest flaw depending on your tolerance for chaos. At its core, this animated sports comedy follows a scrappy young underdog (or under-goat, technically) – Will Harris…
