Maria's still fizzing from the Breaker Upperers premiere last night. Turns out, all your fave local celebs stepped out to celebrate this deliciously Kiwi comedy starring Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beek, all about the adventures of two women who consciously uncouple people for absurd amounts of cash. Our report: hors d'oeuvres were good, the movie was great, and Rob's jealous as shit he missed it. Phooey.
Clayton's reviewed a delicious, slightly subversive take on the classic children's show this week. Adventure Time: Elements is the parental guide you never knew you needed, featuring a human named Finn and his adoptive brother Jake who also happens to be a dog. What the Dickens are we talking about? Listen and learn, pals.
Life in 12 Bars you say? Forget that, Maria's not having a bar of it. Our filmy fiend battles a literal storm to give you her thoughts on this week's muso-led documentary about the life of Eric Clapton and it's... not good news.
Anime aniversaries can be packaged up neatly and given away - and that's exactly what's happened on this week's DVD Review. Flying pig pilots, floating islands, and most importantly foodgasms were the talk of the town.
Another fave from the recent New Zealand Internation Film Festival, this week Clayton's reviewing Mountain - a beautifully shot documentary rumination on the power of mountains within religion, nature, and Western ideals of conquering and success.
Australian audiences really do seem to like their rom-coms to feature weddings of some description. This is possibly, however, the first rom-com to feature a Muslim wedding. Or does it? Ali's Wedding has been labelled "the best Australian comedy since The Castle." ...Shit. Does Maria agree?
