Family is never finished

December 18, 2020December 22, 2020 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

I recently completed and repeated watching 2018’s Trust which was all kinds of entertaining and troubling. I know, I'm late to this, but it's still very much worth a review. For a story I knew guessed the basic arc for, there was so much tension and clever story telling. As a narrative, or as three … Continue reading Family is never finished

Review: Endgame?

May 20, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

A well told story needs no further explanation from the tellers.  This is not an adage the makers of Avengers: Endgame subscribe to as they continue niggling at their massive and popular hit film, like they are not done. As a writer, I get the notion that no work is ever complete but that inner … Continue reading Review: Endgame?

Review: Captain Marvel

March 13, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Captain Marvel, or A Pilot Earns Her Wings (Twice). Here be spoilers. I had a flying lesson once. It was a spur of the moment event, after my mum spotted the hand-lettered cardboard sign along the highway. It was a birthday present, the year I turned 18. I was struggling in school due to bullying, … Continue reading Review: Captain Marvel

Review: Compare the pear

January 29, 2019January 30, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

I left it a bit late to see Baldessin / Whiteley Parallel Visions at the National Gallery of Victoria but I made it at the last minute and was pleasantly surprised. I won't go into a huge amount of detail about every work. Nor will I deliver much on the background of George Baldessin or … Continue reading Review: Compare the pear

Review relief

January 11, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Last year (2018) was personally and professionally challenging in a variety of un-fun ways. The things I expected to be doing I didn't get to do, while other things happened that I never imagined would. Then again, in terms of creative writing, I believe I produced some of my best flash fiction so far, however, … Continue reading Review relief

Doctor Who: End Times

January 8, 2019 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Hey there. These are my considered thoughts for the New Year's episode of Doctor Who, Resolution and some comments on the entire series. The emotional arc featuring the resolution between father and son was satisfying in an unexpectedly welcome way. I almost wish there was more to it than Graeme's clever and sensitive chats. In … Continue reading Doctor Who: End Times

Doctor Who: So that was that

December 19, 2018 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Soon after watching The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos I found out that apart from the New Year's Day episode this is it until 2020. I've been think about what I could say about this episode and I've arrived at: emotional arcs are well and good, and so contention between Ryan and Graham has to … Continue reading Doctor Who: So that was that

Doctor Who: Familiar Universes

December 3, 2018December 5, 2018 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

I drew three conclusions about the Doctor Who episode It Takes You Away.  To me the themes were obvious, but satisfying amid the classic Who scares, Doctory-mythos talk, a fairy tale turned reality, and a Scandi-noir story that turned into something else. But to the conclusions, first:) Mother Rite The very first thing I thought … Continue reading Doctor Who: Familiar Universes

Review: Bohemian like Freddie

November 29, 2018 / Becadroit / Leave a comment

Radio waves are being saturated. Everywhere I go, Queen anthems are thumping out.  This is not a negative. The first CDs I bought were by Queen. I think. It was awhile ago. But there is commerce at play. Bohemian Rhapsody is in the cinemas and the music is the tie in. I wasn't going to … Continue reading Review: Bohemian like Freddie
