Jan 26 Hopeless in Love: How We Love, and Why We Love the Wrong People

Greg Patterson

I recently came to question what I feel as love. My love seemed to lead to extreme emotions and irrational decisions. To some I seemed like a freak. So I went out in search of answers as to whether there is something wrong with me.

Fringe, Live Nation

Sam and Ash have never met, but they’ve been having sex every night. Kinky sex. The sort of sex that you pretend you’ve never heard of. But one of them is a liar. Welcome to the world of talk dirty to me, a play where sex is lies, honesty is sex, and lying is loneliness.

Halina is an entertainingly wild frolic through alternate universes - some recognizable and some summoned from the depths of the imagination.

I’m not usually one to engage in the dialogue of ‘new year, new me’. I got a lot from 2015, and I would want to say that I was a good person throughout. But something weighs heavy on my mind. I have become a fuccboi.

Habitat has been bringing good music to Perth for years, and MOVE has been fostering it here for us all to enjoy. When they teamed up to present Moodyman, Floating Points and tINI and Henry Maxwell it was always going to be a great night of vibe laden house.

Dec 18 [VIDEO] Best Films of 2015 (that is not Star Wars) - A Supercut

Howie Ng

Here is a list of our favourite movies that were released in on our shores this year (that is not Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because come on, that's basically a given at this point), in the form of a neat little supercut.

Greg Patterson

The film is brilliant. It shows that no matter the hype, a film can and should be able to deliver. New and old characters combine to move Star Wars into a new age, and if this film doesn't leave you on tenterhooks waiting for the next two, then nothing will!

Over the course of the film, it becomes clear that A Perfect Day really, really wants to be both a comedy and a drama, but struggles to find the right balance between the two.

Unapologetically confronting "99 Homes" puts a human face to the Global Financial Crisis

Dec 1 Unapologetically confronting "99 Homes" puts a human face to the Global Financial Crisis

Angelique Tuffnell
Screen Nation

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.

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

Nov 25 "Mistress America" is sharp social commentary disguised as a fun indie screwball

Howie Ng
Screen Nation

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.
