The Joker works best as a mysterious, malevolent force who engenders fear and uncertainty. To make him a harmless prankster one week and to have him open fire on an orphanage the next week is inexplicable – and quintessential Joker.

The tedium of self-production, memes and learning through doing: A chat with Al from Cloud Control
"...one of my favourite parts on like this Led Zeppelin tape that Dad taped off Triple M that had bits of them coughing after they had played ‘Immigrant Song’ or something, I was like “Oh that’s so cool!” You know, when you can hear the room, the place they’re in; it makes it sound real."

After boutique music festival Electric Gardens’ 2016 debut, where it was “raved about by everyone
who experienced it” and an equally-as- successful sophomore event in 2017 - where the

FILM REVIEW: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon deliver yet another funny journey on "The Trip To Spain"
Byrdon and Coogan return with their delightful blend of the comedic and the culinary. In this case, The Trip to Spain delivers precisely what we’ve come to expect from the series. Beautiful scenery, amazing food and a couple of weather beaten male comedians who flit between self-deprecation and vanity.
FILM REVIEW: "American Made" Only Gives Cursory Nods to the Humour In American Bullshit
American Made subsists on the fumes of jaunty cynicism and glibness despite its potential as something greater: a searing, dark comedy. Its title is perhaps the cleverest and most honest thing about it, implying a kind of sleek superficiality which permeates this film.
James Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" Returns to the theatres in 3D
Judgement Day is a historic accomplishment, one that merits a proper re-watch, not a mere piecemeal revisit through scenes on YoTube or TV

Theatre Review: Black Swan's Thrilling, Insightful 'Switzerland'
As one of Australia’s most acclaimed playwrights, Joanna Murray-Smith is truly at her peak in Switzerland. What I discovered during this 100 minute psychological thriller of a play (in its own right) about one of the greatest contributors to said genre of the 20th century (that is, Patricia Highsmith) was a highly riveting and suspenseful probing of the human condition, the modern world, and a tiny glimpse into the mind of a great writer.

Theatre Review: The Ambitious, Thrilling Arteries by Ancestry
Fugue’s Arteries By Ancestry isn’t so much a play you ‘understand’ but rather one you witness and feel. It’s a visceral, often confronting performance that demands your attention and makes the most of it.
Who's the best Defender? We rank every Marvel Netflix show: From Worst to Best
The Defenders will see three widely beloved street-level heroes - Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones - and Iron Fist teaming up to, presumably, defend. This is as good a time as any to rank each and every one of the Marvel Netflix shows.
The Stylish "Atomic Blonde" Never Comes Together, Is Maddeningly Inscrutable
Stakes. Character. Exciting action. Boom. For a few minutes, one of the guys who directed John Wick, David Leitch, took full command of his movie. It was beautiful if brief, and the only thing about Atomic Blonde worth remembering.
