    Fix your grammar

  • In love with Orla

    There’s something magical about Orla Kiely’s mini movies. Each one has a certain soft-dreaminess to them that somehow catapults you back to the mid 60s. Naturally, the label’s iconic designs assist. “Dear Diary”, their latest movie, is written and directed by American filmmaker Liz Goldwyn and stars a coming-of-age English girl living – and falling…

  • Quit your job. Follow your dreams.

    Quit your job. Follow your dreams.

    That statement holds true for this week… I’ve thought it, had it said to me, and have uttered the words to at least one other. Thanks to the Brooklyn-based band Baby Alpaca, I’ve now also found the perfect visual and audio expression of this phrase; one we’ll all want to embrace at least once in our…

  • Wild, wonderful beauty

    There are few things I love more than the wild beauty of the horse. I’m far from alone though; culture community Nowness recently collaborated with filmaker Glen Milner to capture these fascinating beasts in their native Andalusia –  to breathtaking effect. Press play to be just as blown away as I.

  • An evening with men on the moon

    Last weekend, I spent a day in blistering sunshine dancing to techno at Green and Blue festival in Frankfurt. In stark contrast, this Wednesday saw me taking my seat at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall to watch a performance of something quite unbeknown to me – Brian Eno’s Apollo. A far cry from bass fuelled house…

    Check out this incredible short film made by the iconic denim brand Levis and directed by Australian Screenwriter John Hillcoat (director of 2009 film The Road). The message is simple: be inspired, be the best at what you do. Heed Levi’s motivational words now, go forth and fulfil your potential. What is there to wait for?

  • What’s your guilty secret?

    Whilst i’m not one to be shy so to speak, there’s a certain prerequisite in society that prevents people from being their true self a lot of the time. At work, in the presence of someone new, at an interview – probably more than you realise. But everyone has a guilty secret right? On my way…

  • It’s not that he’s not into you, It’s just not that good a film.

      I was reading the book almost four years ago at a time when i was in the midst meeting someone that really was that into me – according to ‘The Book’.  So, when I heard there was a film being released with a star studded cast including Jennifer Anniston, Ben Affleck, Scarlet Johansson, Kevin…

  • Screw chocolate. Make February 14th one to remember with My Bloody Valentine – 3D.

    Ok, so the plot is guaranteed to be horrific (and i don’t mean scary) but anyone who knows me will testify to how much of an over enthusiastic horror fan i am.  So, it’s that time of year again (well almost) and Valentines day is almost upon us.  Spurn the chocolates, slushy cards and head to…

  • Scar 3D – Slasher horror just got a whole lot scarier

    As a bit of a horror film enthusiast, imagine my excitement in discovering that in January, the first horror film in 3D will be released.    Scar 3D is due to hit the cinemas in January 2009 and has been filmed using cutting edge Real D technology, enabling it to be shown in High Definition…
