The Whale: review
Director Darren Aronofsky has long expressed his interest in studies of doomed characters. Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler explored manifestations of grief and regret through compulsions and addictions, and how they lead to the destruction of the self.
The Whale fits into an informal trilogy with those two movies. Charlie, brought to life by a deeply committed performance from Brendan Fras

| Hemingway's lean, muscular writing paints a listless portrait of the vagaries, drudgeries and futility of armed conflict, leading us ever-onward towards that numbing gut-punch of a final page. ...more | |

Capote gives a deeply humanising account of how people - including the perpetrators - reconcile a senseless, unfathomable extinguishment of a family. I'm not sure I was as interested in every small nook and cranny of this tragic tale as its author - s ...more |

"Absolutely stunning.
When I was a kid, I loved Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree novels and the way they served up a tasting plate of many different fantasy worlds but without ever leaving the reader in just one of them for too long. Water Moon ca" Read more of this review » |

Totally riveting and candid memoir. Funny, poignant, devastating. A must read for any appreciator of either Hollywood history, Joan Didion or a truly uncanny life story. Some of the anecdotes are just astounding. Can't wait to meet Griffin this week and ...more |

“They started calling people my grandfather’s age “generation ink”. He represents the era when extensive tattoos tipped into the mainstream. Now the old men and women sit together in the lounge room of my grandfather’s nursing home, watching daytime television. They don’t watch sport. Tattoos from their wrist to shoulders and across their chest, snake beneath their woolen cardigans and cotton shirts. Withered souls eternally painted in often incomprehensible scrawling. Faded colours. But that’s not to say that they regret getting inked. Far from it. It’s a part of who they are. As real and as precious as the blank skin they were born with. Their tastes in music haven’t mellowed either. They slowly approach the sound-system, leaning on their walking frame, and skip to songs by Pantera and Sepultura. Or Metallica, Slayer and Iron Maiden. My grandfather enjoyed punk and post-rock bands like Millencolin, Thursday, Coheed and Cambria or At The Drive-In.”

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
