  Parklife Review: Life In The Park 2012

  I know it’s been a successful Parklife when I can 1) Name a new artist I’ve never seen before and now love. 2) See an act I formerly liked and now don’t care for. 3) Check a favourite off my must-see list, and 4) Walk past far too many people on my way to the Botanic Gardens who didn’t quite make it past their pre-drinks. I guess that makes 2012 a winner. And while I hope the dubstep isn’t here to stay, I’ll get used to it if I have to. 5 Parklife Festivals later and I’m in no rush to miss out in 2013.

  Like most who watch director Wes Anderson’s finely tuned onscreen imaginings, the audience for Tuesday night’s Moonrise Kingdom was fixated on a world of whimsy, hope and desperation.

  Review: The Bourne Legacy

  Who said that good film series should stop at three? The latest of the Bourne series and the first not based on Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne novels, The Bourne Legacy is less sequel, somewhat prequel and mostly spin-off - not necessarily tying up events which unfolded in The Bourne Ultimatum, but cleverly working together with the series' third film, rebooting the franchise but never aiming to re-brand it ala The Amazing Spiderman or Dark Knight Trilogy did with their superhero figures.

  Ladyhawke Live

  The dichotomy between Ladyhawke’s Pip Brown during and between numbers on her live shows is nothing short of striking. She sneers and snarls on tracks like 'Girl Like Me' and 'Paris Is Burning', yet shyly says on stage after finishing, head facing the ground "...I hate the sound of my own voice". Pip, give yourself a bit more credit - have you heard yourself sing?
