In my younger years, architecture was an essential part of how I explored culture. Frank Gehry’s legacy has always been one of grand spectacle.

The grittiness and colours of Manila were the most apt backdrop for the emotions and Filipino sensibilities brought about by ingrained patriarchal conservatism. I adore films that take me back to familiar spaces and SUNSHINE did not only tell a brave story but was also a visually rich piece of work.

Seeing Red again after 13 years, the demystification remains, but it’s Rothko’s towering self-importance that comes through so much more sharply. John Logan’s play, centred on fictional interactions between Rothko and an apprentice, is precise in its dialogue and its attack.

Hurt people hurt people.
This cliché is apt in the devastating series HAL & HARPER. Raiff’s approach to storytelling is reminiscent of the quirkiness of the Duplass Brothers, but with emotional depth. The delicate writing, selection of indie music and performances make this a cathartic experience.

Every dictator and authoritarian government relies on scapegoats to justify corruption, repression, and inhumane policies, using strongman rhetoric to disguise failure and concentrate power.

For an absurdist sex comedy, FLOWER GIRL works well, is witty, and has several hilarious moments, which is already an achievement in Philippine cinema. Its inclusive theme, however, falters towards the end, and if that message had been brought home more clearly, it could have been an excellent film.

Whether it’s the Creature, the Amphibian Man, or Pinocchio, Guillermo del Toro has an uncanny gift for humanising his cinematic monsters. His new Netflix adaptation of FRANKENSTEIN deepens the Freudian undercurrents of the original, tracing the cycle of creation and rejection with emotional clarity.

BUGONIA is a dark and hilarious satirical mirror of the current state of humanity. It’s hard to talk about the film without giving away too much of its plot, but if you’re looking for another mind-blowing and philosophical work from Yorgos Lanthimos and his muse Emma Stone, then don’t miss this.

A QUIET PLACE DAY ONE is a moving horror & drama. It shows the beginnings of the Quiet Place universe with the same suspenseful direction, while touching on human connection, how we hold on to poetry & memory during hopeless moments. And who wouldn’t enjoy an adventure that involves an adorable cat?

The premise of Kimberly Akimbo seems quite random, but it ended up being a heartwarming tale about misfits, perspective, and living the present. #melbourne #theatre

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT was a wild ruckus of a dark comedy. It’s excellent filmmaking when tension keeps increasing while exposition is revealed gradually in unexpected moments. The latest Palme d’Or winner is a memorable tale of moral responsibility told within the confines of an oppressive regime.

CACTUS PEARS is a beautiful film, and I was completely immersed in its rich cultural detail. The portrayal of conservative dynamics feels strikingly familiar, even though it’s a society I’m not intimately acquainted with. The tender family drama and love story resonate far beyond its setting. #miff

The classic murder mystery was given a modern twist in this fringe production of DIAL M FOR MURDER. Each act leaps forward by several decades, suggesting that tales of domestic violence have endured through time. #theatre #melbourne

The dynamics of rural, corrupt, and conservative Philippines is something I’m quite familiar with. This backdrop is used brilliantly in FIRST LIGHT, a meditation on faith, death, and the value of life. A worthy and important debut from Filipino Australian filmmaker James Robinson. #miff2025

The reimagined Melbourne production of Songs for a New World was overflowing with emotion. The design and lighting were simple yet elegant, and the choreography was expressive yet restrained, highlighting both voices and human stories. Every cast member was flawless, hitting every note perfectly.
