This week, during my usual Thursday night spot on Melbourne Talk Radio, I reviewed Final Destination 5 with the station’s inimitable evening host Luke Grant. Our conversation, as it often does, took some twists and turns and in addition to the film we discussed horror movie dates, Alan Jones, and Grant’s invitation for me to [...]
Part documentary, part invasion movie, part comedy and part creature feature, director Mark Lewis’s Cane Toads: The Conquest is a roaring nonfiction feature about the devastating effects the introduction of cane toads have had on Australia. An uproariously entertaining hybrid feature, available to watch to 3D in some venues across Australia, it is a sequel [...]

This evening I had an entertaining discussion with Melbourne Talk Radio (and ex Sale of the Century) host Glenn Ridge during my weekly MTR film reviewing segment. It was a freewheeling yack that started off with my thoughts on cricket (and why there’s been no major cricket-themed movie) and culminated with a fishy discussion about [...]
