Unapologetically confronting "99 Homes" puts a human face to the Global Financial Crisis
It’s clear that director Ramin Bahrani is not afraid of making us feel uncomfortable. In 99 Homes, we are affronted by the harsh reality of unaffordable housing as the film places the systematic disadvantage of our economic model under the microscope.
Condemned: Homes on Death Row
I never have that much fun in abandoned houses. These were people’s homes, full of memories It is an all too acute reminder that my house too is at risk of succumbing to the march of ‘progress’.
"Mistress America" is sharp social commentary disguised as a fun indie screwball
Jam-packed with rapid-fire zingers and cleverly constructed comedic situations, Mistress America is Noah Baumbach’s most deliberately funny screenplay to date, quite possibly due to the involvement of co-writer and star Greta Gerwig.
CW Stoneking - Back to Boogaloo at Fremantle Arts Centre

Failed Tinder Dates (At the Beaufort Street Festival 2015)

Midland Grain Silo
Every now and then, you’ll find somewhere that captures you. One of my spots is the Midland Grain Silo. What was a huge symbol of agricultural history of Midland, is now a hotspot for street art.
Soairse Ronan shines in period drama "Brooklyn"
I generally balk at the love dichotomy so often presented in movies – I’m certainly not one to gasp “Oh my stars I wonder who the young lass will choose?! How absolutely DELIGHTFUL to be young!” – but I feel that Brooklyn hits a deeper note than the surface may initially suggest.
Deafheaven - New Bermuda
So the release of New Bermuda was always going to come with a certain weight of expectation that the gang had to live up to this masterpiece of modern post-black-metal-shoe-gaze-funk. And it does.
Mathas - Armwrestling Atlas (AT LAST!)
Mathas is at his best when he makes the political personal, as on “Nourishment”, which has an excellent contribution from Abbe May. All of this is delivered in a flow that often sounds a bit like Mathas is just having a particularly stimulating conversation, and he just happens to be talking quite fast.
