Last drinks have been called for The Hangover franchise. The bar tab hasn’t completely ran dry, but it’s time for everyone to go home.

Paul Fenech has been lobbing comedy grenades for eons. Whether he intended it or not, his latest movie is one of Australia’s most brutal satires of lower class suburbia.

The cast and crew of Australian drama Blinder have shown courage in confronting complex issues head on. And with that courage should come the conviction to admit they got it very, very wrong.

Steven Spielberg’s biopic of Abraham Lincoln arrives with a star-studded cast, no cheese and measured direction. So how can that be a bad thing?
