Scenic crime dramedy from across the ditch a winner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our friends across the ditch are at it again with a quirky crime dramedy to sink your teeth into. Bust Up is set in the fictional New Zealand town of Waitote, where there seems to be an inordinate amount of crime for such a small place. It's the kind of town where everyone knows everyone else, and all their business. The show kicks off in the middle of a bank robbery, where a man dressed in a shark mask and holding a sword is trying to get into the bank's safe. This crime coincides with the loca
De Niro's Netflix thriller is no Silence of the Lambs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A top-notch cast in a crime thriller sounds like a recipe for success, but unfortunately The Whisper Man doesn't quite hit the heights that it should. The film, from Kiwi director James Ashcroft (The Rule of Jenny Pen), stars Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton, with support from Hamish Linklater and Owen Teague. We open with police canvassing a field for any signs of a missing little boy, led by detective Amanda Beck (Monaghan). They find something, but it's not the
Lanterns lights up a fresh slate of streaming picks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't have to know anything about the Green Lantern character to be charmed by Lanterns. The new series - the first original live action series to be part of DC Studios' chair James Gunn's DCU (DC Universe) - introduces us to Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler, eminently likeable even when he's being a jerk), a regular human who was selected by non-Earthly Guardians to be a sort of intergalactic policeman for our sector of the universe. He's had the role for decades and is a little over the schtick o
A dramedy for those who prefer their Sandler films Sunny side up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A certain kind of movie springs to mind when you hear the name Sandler. Shouty, silly, often stupid, filled with physical comedy and over-the-top performances. Sometimes that's great and iconic, and sometimes it's better watched once and swiftly forgotten about. But Don't Say Good Luck is a very different kind of Sandler story - not least of all because it's Sunny, not Adam, in the lead role. Sunny Sandler, Adam's youngest daughter, has appeared in plenty of her dad's films before, even leading
Is Sybylla Melvyn Australia's answer to Jo March or Elizabeth Bennet? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Confession time - this reviewer has never read Miles Franklin's seminal novel, nor seen the 1979 adaptation of My Brilliant Career. As such, this series is considered entirely on its own merit, with no comparisons to earlier versions. Now with that out of the way, wow, what a joyful series this is. Lead Philippa Northeast commands the viewers' attention as Sybylla Melvyn and never lets go - she is a force to be reckoned with, and every time her eyes light up with inspiration and joy, the audienc
