HBO, BBC co pro strikes GOLD (bad Olympic reference)

The Night Of is a modern masterpiece which had me hook, line and sinker after the pilot. Such a brilliant pilot and such a deep, dark, gritty hit HBO (with some BBC Worldwide help) have on their hands.



The ratings have only risen for this latest addition to the Golden Era of TV and heading into the final 3 parts of this epic season I reckon this show might get to the two million live US viewers.

After the Australian networks have allowed Channel Seven to just outright win the ratings war, thank god for US dramas, like seriously.

I have not been this blown away by a series for months. Unfortunately this missed my US Summer Drama feature week, but this is honestly the hit of the Summer and maybe the new series/mini-series of 2016.

Just outstanding.

Well done again HBO.

Another month, another comic book film and this time it's the DC comics turn with SUICIDE SQUAD.



With a great cast, a continuation on from the critically panned and pretty average Batman V Superman we see DC bring us a motley crew of anti heroes. Of course they work together and turn good? Or do they.

We see out next DC film in June next year with the brilliant Wonder Woman returning for her own effort. After being the saviour in the Batman and Superman romp that is one to look out for.

But back to this, another critically panned film and an overstuffed effort helps this film easily let down those who wanted another more inspiring comic book live action film.

That said Margot Robbie and Will Smith shine in this film, whilst Viola Davis is also fabulous taking a break from her How to Get Away with Murder duties.

Overall I'm not going to say much more about this, we just had comic con and there are a million more of these films on the way and the soundtrack is surprisingly brilliant for this film.

Is this going to break box office records?, NO (my session had a total of four people including me present, it's opening weekend people), is it going to get any good reviews? NO, but honestly it's not all bad here, let's pass it with 3 Stars.

When one has super low expectations sometimes one is surprised and that is how my Friday night went when I stepped into ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE.



So spoiler alert the best bits are mainly in the trailer and at times I found myself forced laughing around a gaggle of gays and fag hags but overall I enjoyed this film a shit load more than once thought!

So cameos is a BIG thing in this film and you can view a full list HERE and be blown away! The plot is thinner than a runway model and the way it all unfolds is highly predictable and almost entirely underwhelming.

That said I loved, loved all my UK X Factor cameos from Ryland and Nick Grimshaw plus La Roux AKA Elly Jackson was fab at the big Kate Moss party scene.

Let's be honest this a fans night out however it is a million miles better than the previous Kath & Kim film which was GOD-AWFUL. I really enjoyed this at the end of a LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG ass week as really all one needed to do was park their brain at the door. I did more classy films last weekend so this week it's trash for days.

3 Stars for another TV show goes to the movies which we may/may not have 100% needed. At least it is this way and not Movie turns TV show like the upcoming 2016-2017 USA TV season.

Oh Lordy, did the World need another Sharknado?

Admittedly I'm watching it right now and not hating it, but man four of these TV movies for US network SYFY?



So this time around instead of Sharknado 3: Hell No!, it steals a reference from the recent Star Wars film. It also pays homage to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and we see Tara Reid show off her "force".

Oh boy it's over the top camp fun lead by Ian 90210 Ziering and was watched by close to 3 million US viewers when it first aired late last month.

For the last 4 years we have celebrated camp disaster films which makes the Shallows (upcoming Blake Lively film) look like a dog paddle around the public pool.

I have long loved trash and for some reason Sharknado is the king of all trash with reference to all sorts of pop culture and resurrecting careers like Reid's, Zeiring and even David Hasselhoff.

I have a feeling we are running out of US cities to terrorise with these so called Sharknado's so I have a feeling the series will need to go International for it's fifth instalment.

And although it has not been announced to be doing a fifth film, I'm sure it will.

So with all the rain in Sydney (5 days and counting) if you need something camp and light (incredibly light and with a paper thin plot) this is your go to.

Until tomorrow see you soon, BYE!

Milo Yiannopoulos

What a wanker.

He returned on Andrew Bolt's show again this week, after Bolt had a massive bone on for him last time, watch his little eyes sparkle at this major big time attention seeker.

I have a feeling he is actually just doing all this for attention and the five minutes of fame factor.

Also admitting you attended the US Republican train wreck convention, he is clearly demented.

Sitting at just under 45,000 views for the trailer, I would say GOLDSTONE has been mostly overlooked in Australia.



And that is a shame as this Aussie feature was BRILLIANT! And this in late July/early August is the first Aussie film I have seen all 2016 and I have seen a bucket load of films in 2016.

Jackie Weaver was 100% delicious in this film and Alex Russell is extremely easy on the eye, not to mention Aaron Pedersen is still rather dishy.

Aside from Jackie Weaver playing a vile mayor named Maureen, this film tackled a shit load of hot topics:

1. The mining industry
2. Aboriginal land rights
3. Alcohol abuse
4. Corruption
5. Human trafficking
6. Drink driving
7. Bribery
8. The stolen generation

And that's just for starters. This sequel to Mystery Road which I am not 100% sure if I caught (but will now) is an amazing crime/thriller and I was gripped to the screen for the entire film.

It won best film at this year's Sydney Film Festival and I hope it gets an overseas go, as really like Sing Street yesterday unless you live near a Dendy or indie cinema you would have missed this, and that is sad.

The scenery in the top end is top notch and there are some extremely important messages.

I liked this a lot and I would be surprised if I see another Aussie film better than this, this year, 4 Stars.

I love a feel good film and SING STREET is an instant classic feel good hit!



From director John Carney (Once & Begin Again) comes another fun musical drama-comedy.

Based in inner city Dublin in the 80's we get an amazing soundtrack of 80's hits from Duran Duran to Hall & Oates this is one feel good fun night (or day) at the cinema!

The critics have had wet dreams over this film and its done OK business at the box office but a held back Australian release along with only showing at the more art house cinemas I cannot seeing it bringing in the big bucks here.

There are some damn catchy original shows featured as well as the well known ones like this.



I'm not going to bang on about this film as it's brilliant, you need to just take my word for it and as Molly used to say DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR!

Sing Street, it's fun and you leave with a Spring in your step. Yes it's Spring next month, HELL FUCK YEAH, 4 Stars.
