The late night vibe of the record crackles with the energy of computer screens in dark rooms, or headlights cutting through the night. -

Southpaw is a confident and un-flashy movie that knows what it wants to do and does it well. -
Irrational Man
Arts & Entertainment Reviews
Woody Allen invokes both Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Alfred Hitchock in his latest, the surprising and ambitious Irrational Man. -
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Arts & Entertainment Reviews
...it constantly feels like Ritchie is falling short and what could have been a fast-paced action movie is more like a fashion shoot for a men’s magazine. -
Queer Screen Film Fest: Grandma
Arts & Entertainment Reviews
Grandma is Tomlin’s first lead role in nearly three decades, but it proves that she is still just as funny, soulful and eminently likable as ever. -
FKA twigs: M3LL155X

It’s beautiful to see that with the enormous popularity that FKA twigs has gained over the last twelve months or so that she has lost none of her desire to explore and innovate. -
Seventeen at Belvoir St Theatre

Holy Holy: When the Storms Would Come

On their debut record, Holy Holy seem to opt for the obvious rather than the adventurous. -
Mr. Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is representative of the flawless, unimpeachable, infallible hero that populates the Western canon, but Mr. Holmes presents another side of the hero, the stark reality of such a person becoming enfeebled and troubled. -
MS MR: How Does It Feel
Arts & Entertainment Reviews
It feels like a contrived attempt to push through to a bigger audience, but in streamlining their sound, MS MR have lost their personality. -
Tame Impala: Currents

Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker has revealed himself to be one of those mad scientists of music. Like Brian Wilson or Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, he's reached a point where he's no longer constrained by the limits of the rock band format. -
Vince Staples: Summertime '06
Arts & Entertainment Reviews
Summertime ’06 establishes that it is no celebrated summer, no nostalgia-driven remembrance, but a look back on a life that could have taken a very different path. -
Inside Out
