Clayton's come bearing gifts: not just his well-thought out opinions on Nick Hamm's 2016 drama The Journey, but also... banoffee cupcakes. Shut the front gate, are we right?
Maria brings us Manifesto (2015) this morning, where Cate Blanchett performs a series of striking monologues. An Auckland Art Gallery special or now, an at home, movie on the couch vibe? You decide.
Mike might've just run up Karangahape Road had he known Maria would be reviewing We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! this Wednesday morn. This 2014 documentary explores the history and legacy of glam-rock icons Twisted Sister, from the band's early club days to their rise to popularity in the 1980s. It's safe to say Maria loved it. So did Mike, so did Jules.
Clayton's coming in hot with a surprisingly positive review this week's DVD, Mom and Dad (2017). Starring (inter)national treasure and generally-good-guy Nic Cage, this horror-comedy features a teenage girl and her little brother's attempt to survive a wild 24 hours of mass hysteria, as parents turn violently on their own children. Ever just hate your kids? Clayton relates! Five stars.
Maria's diving deep into her review of Take Every Wave (2017) today, recounting the remarkable story of American big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, who spent his life exploring fear, courage and ambition to conquer the most untameable waters.
