Just finished the first season of AppleTV+ dramedy GOVERNMENT CHEESE and would definitely recommend. Great work from David Oyelowo, Simone Missick and a fine cast. Hope we get more seasons. #TVsky

Pleasantly surprised to learn MJ Bassett’s RED SONJA is getting a brief theatrical release over here before it lands on SVOD.
Less pleasantly surprised to learn the only cinemas screening it anywhere near me are in Epping and Dandenong. Ah well. #Filmsky

I’m always an easy sell for a new SUPERMAN movie. Even so, James Gunn’s take on the venerable hero is a delight. Lots of fun action and humour, but even more effective is the amount of genuine heart. The focus on empathy is inspired and timely. #FilmSky

Happy April, #Filmsky folks! I’m celebrating the birth month of the late, great Roger Corman by sampling various works from his nearly seven decade career. This will include both films he directed and produced.

Felt kinda burnt out toward the end of 31 Days of Australian Film, but here I go again with another theme month: Flopuary!
This isn’t to make fun of box office failures, but to look under the hood and see why these films didn’t click commercially. #Filmsky

Beginning the third and apparently final season of THE NEWSREADER. Loving the historical and industry detail as always. Also amused at the airbrushing out of a now-cancelled former Neighbours star from the 1989 Gold Logie field. One of them had to make way for Dale Jennings, sooooooo… 🤷♂️ #TVsky

Started the miniseries ONE NIGHT (2023). Am I wrong in suspecting the pitch for this was HOTEL SORRENTO meets BLACKROCK?
Excellent cast, but the structure feels a bit too familiar so far. A+ Aussie accent work from Jodie Whittaker. #TVsky

Just started reading the unproduced David Lynch - Mark Frost screenplay ONE SALIVA BUBBLE. This was in pre-production when the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group collapsed in 1988.
For this pun on page two alone, I’m bitterly disappointed this wasn’t made. #Filmsky

Just finished Armando Iannucci’s AVENUE 5 (2020-2022). Was a bit jarring at first to experience Iannucci’s style of caustic satire in a futuristic setting, but once it gets going, it’s a ripper.
