A newbie's guide to the best places in Melbourne
So my boyfriend and I recently ventured into one of Australia’s most popular tourist cities, Melbourne, also known as Sydney’s artsy-fartsy, hippie cousin.
Though having lived in Australia as a citizen for about eight years and counting, I never got the chance to fly off to Melbourne until this year. We were both inspired by the exciting tales of a dynamic city life; complete with buskers at every corner, an absence of nightlife lockout laws, hipster cafes and eye-candy graffiti adorning the streets – and let me tell you, our actual visit ceased to disappoint.
Review: Bird Box (Spoiler-free)
Few horror movies manage to truly impress in this day and age, much less those that attempt to take on the ‘scary-monster’ narrative. It’s the reason why I prefer the more psychological tales of terror that deal with more distressing, unstable mental themes, and yet, still manage to (somewhat) base themselves in reality. Think films like An Invitation or Gerald’s Game. These subject matters, at least, have the slight possibility of actually manifesting in the real world. It’s what makes them more terrifying.
Review: The Book of Mormon Sydney
So after having seen The Book of Mormon in Sydney for the 3rd time (yes, that’s right; I’ve gone three times), I think it’s safe to say that I can provide a pretty sound, detailed review of this entertainment gem bestowed upon us by the South Park gods. I’m talking about Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the brilliant minds behind Cannibal! The Musical, Team America, and of course – everyone’s favorite lewd, crude, satirical cartoon.
The top 5 comedy shows that will make you laugh, till you cry
More than just an easily accessible cure for a bad day, sitcoms also provide an escape from the real world with often zany and dysfunctional storylines that usually keep us watching for the entire 20-minute timeframe.
But there’s a (probably not-so) secret ingredient to all successful comedy shows, and it’s more than just having the quick and sharp wit of a budding Tina Fey. No – good comedic shows have something much deeper – they have heart.
4 romantic movie cliches that need to die
We all like to treat ourselves to a sugary helping of Hollywood romance every once in a while. And every once in a while, we’ll discover an unexpected, unconventional treat – be it a love story laced with a bit of Black Mirror sci-fi, a la Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a trilogy of Before films that focus on dialogue rather than spectacle, or a whimsical musical of 80’s revivals – like Moulin Rouge.
Sadly, most other times, we’ll find ourselves watching yet another slapdash mish-mash of tried and tired lines, cheesy acting, and a cookie-cutter storyline played out to Miley Cyrus’ best hits.
