Review – Bad Neighbours
Bad Neighbours is destined to be one of those touchstones comedies that teenagers will rewatch endlessly and adults will hold up as a classic of the genre.
Review – Rhys Nicholson: Eurgh

Even the dickheads in the audience couldn’t spoil the warm response the crowd gave him.
Review – Bright Days Ahead
This is a carefree and carefully constructed movie which hits all its notes without looking like it’s trying.
Review – Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show
Craig McLachlan was delicious when he played the role of Frank N. Furter in 1992, but what about now? Will the product of McLachlan + suspenders + twenty-two years equal something bedazzling?
Oh. My. Yes.
Review – 2 Ruby Knockers, 1 Jaded Dick: A Dirk Darrow Investigation
Tim Motley is spellbindingly funny and a compellingly excellent storyteller.
Review – An American’s Guide to Being Like Totally British
It’s all delivered in the high-brow manner that such auspicious subjects demand – that is to say, dick jokes pervade throughout – and Wieroniey has the guts of a true comedian, even when the laughs are sparse.
Review – Run Girl Run
What makes [Run Girl Run] entertaining is that it’s just hilariously funny, at every level. The script is conversational and witty, the performances are wonderfully comedic, and the premise is delightfully absurd.
Review – The Magnets: All This Time
