Material Thinking
Be one of the first to fall in love with the next Gail Sorronda or George Wu at QUT's graduate fashion parade ‘Material Thinking'. The night will witness 13 graduate collections ranging from intriguing accessories, vibrant coloured street wear and opulent evening dresses.
The stylish soiree will also reminisce about fashion's past, as bubbly glasses will be raised in a toast to the fifth anniversary of Fashion Design at QUT.
Burn After Reading
Ever since Blood Simple back in 1984, Joel and Ethan Coen have produced a steady stream of unrelentingly oddball features that totter on the border between melodrama and black humour. Now, after the unexpected success of last year's No Country for Old Men, it seems the Coen Brothers can do, well, whatever they please.
Embedded with Sheik Hilaly
The first time I ever met Dave Zwolenski was in 2002 when I was falling asleep in an "Introduction to Creative Writing" lecture at QUT. All I remember is this energetic goofy guy fidgeting in his seat who probably turned around to say something lame like, "so how did you go with your assignment?" At first I thought he was one of those weird "writer" guys but it didn't take me too long to work out that Dave was actually one of the coolest people in the entire world.
In Bruges
Don't be fooled by the fact that Martin McDonagh's In Bruges stars legendary douchebag Colin Farrell. Gone is his whiplash-inducing Miami Vice-era pout, replaced here with his native Irish accent and type-shattering performance as Ray, an alternate universe Father Dougal McGuire. Instead of being a priest, he's hired to kill them.
Jordan Belson: Films Sacred and Profane
Anyone with half an interest in art has heard of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. But who knew that it was once called the Museum of Non-Objective Painting? It’s a shame it ever changed. Like, ‘Guggenheim’ is a cool word, but it sure doesn’t have the same ring as 'Museum of Non-Objective Painting'.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
What’s that saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Well if anything, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead encourages you to keep your family closer still.
Andy Hanson (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a conniving finance executive failing at the money market who convinces his younger sibling Hank (Ethan Hawke) to be his main man on a jewellery heist.
Focus on Gus Van Sant
Gus Vant Sant is synonymous with a particular brand of American arthouse, epitomised by films like Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho. Since then, he’s journeyed into the mainstream, sometimes subversively (To Die For) and sometimes for some commercial feelgoodery (Good Will Hunting).
