In Australian cinemas this week, #PieceByPiece is a well constructed documentary that may shy away from a warts-and-all mentality, but proves exciting and inspiring in place as it celebrates its unconventional subject. www.theaureview.com/watch/film-r...

You couldn’t wipe the smile away from me when I knew I was going to interview the supreme Melissa Barrera. For The AU Review, to coincide with the Aus release of #YourMonster, I spoke to the actress about tapping into her character’s emotionality. www.theaureview.com/watch/interv...
Interview: Melissa Barrera on the unique storytelling of Your Monster; "I always find a way of brainwashing myself into being in the emotional state of the character." - The AU Review

“The best way to bring folks together is to give them a good enemy”, and, adversary or not, the wickedness at the centre of the charming, bombastic #Wicked proves enough for the masses to agree that this is a partnership worth celebrating. #WickedMovie www.theaureview.com/watch/film-r...

#Wicked (Part One) is an absolute treat! Cynthia Erivo’s stunning emotional depth and Ariana Grande’s award-worthy brilliance shine. The vibrant, thrilling visuals captivate, promising a treat for theatre fans - though the necessity of its split remains unclear until Part Two.

So honoured and excited to be quoted in the trailer for #TheLastShowgirl. Thank you Roadside Attractions for the recognition. So excited for people to see this film and Pamela Anderson in all their glory.

Aussies!!! This is a PSA to let you know that the delightfully off-kilter YOUR MONSTER is coming to cinemas here on November 28th. (And I don’t wanna hear about it being available on VOD in the US already. Let’s support theatrical releases of any kind. Especially smaller titles).

GLADIATOR II is now screening in Aussie cinemas. It often adheres to a similar narrative as the original, but makes up for any familiarity with a welcome dosage of camp sensibility. My full review online now. www.theaureview.com/watch/film-r...
