I’m starting to feel a bit gloomy about the recent trend of bagging the 90s (hey, it was the last iconic era and it ruled ok?! Get back to me in 10-20 years’ time and tell me if any of us even vaguely remember any music or movies from the last decade), anyway … posters from your sharehouse past is quite funny and spot-on.

Hair defines a generation doesn’t it? It can also mean the difference between pretty and knock out gorgeous. Here are some ladies whose hair styles I love, all of which seem to stand the test of time and with, let’s face it, a bit of a crush now actually.

Very spooky, trippy movie trailer from Finnish/Canadian Imaginaerum – a must see to watch at the movies on a massive screen I think! Not for the faint hearted though. Not sure of release dates and such – looks like Germany and Finland so far, so keep an eye out. Click for link to trailer All images[read more…]
Has anyone seen Flight yet? Fantastic movie! It’s not an action flick, more of a drama, however the exhilarating (and distressing) scenes at the start are really edge of your seat stuff and brilliantly executed. Denzel (who, as always, plays his role coolly and effortlessly) is a troubled pilot who successfully saves his plane from crashing, however has to deal with an investigation[read more…]
I don’t think I’ve laughed and cried so much in my life as I did watching this 2011 family movie. Based on a true story and Australian legend, it’ll soften the hardest of hearts. I just loved it. For anyone who hasn’t yet seen it or for readers from o/s who might not know much[read more…]
I’ve always loved this 2007 short animation film from the National Film Board of Canada. Haunting, dark, wonderful, spooky, trippy and really clever. Scroll down for a link to the video.

This movie cracks me up. Every time. What a funny, funny man Leslie Nielsen was. When you read these quotes, try to imagine Frank Drebin’s voice (if you know what I mean). [offering a cigar] Vincent Ludwig: Cuban? Frank: No, Dutch-Irish. My father was from Wales. Jane: I’ve heard police work is dangerous. Frank: It is. That’s why[read more…]

I’m dedicating this post to one of my favourite eras, the 1970s, I guess because well, I was there but I wasn’t there (too tiny to appreciate it) … a time in history in amongst the idealism of the 60s and the materialism of the 80s. Back in the 70s, people … Drank a classic cocktail: Grapefruit[read more…]
Oh yeah the 90s. The time I went to uni, backpacked overseas to the US, London and Europe, shared old Queenslanders with countless housemates, partied like it was 1999 and was part of the 18-25 demographic. In the 90s People were eating: Thai food was the food to eat out in Australia. In honour of the[read more…]
I don’t think there’s any movie quite as inspirational or entertaining as a classic road movie. There’s a little bit of tough guy, underdog hero, on-the-run, camaraderie in the face of adversity in all of us. Here are my personal favourites which unintentionally happen to be from 5 different decades: 1. Thelma and Louise I saw this 1991 movie about female solidarity[read more…]
This cool little movie about a depressed 16 year old (played by Keir Gilchrist, known for United States of Tara) who unwittingly admits himself to an adult psychiatric ward, is an absolute gem. The movie has a number of clever, charming fantasy scenes played out in our lad’s mind which give a contemporary sort of alternative feel to the movie as well[read more…]
I have to admit I was a bit of a Bridget Jones back in the day. From here
