The 10 best male performances of 2011. By Simon Miraudo. Acting! It’s perhaps the most subjective craft in the entire moviemaking process.

Sydney Film Festival – Day Five. By Simon Miraudo. According to Genesis, God spent the fifth day of existence creating all the birds and sea animals. That by itself is pretty impressive, but He didn’t stop there. He also instructed them to procreate. So, not only did He create life, but He taught it how to […]

Sydney Film Festival – Day Four. By Simon Miraudo. It took a mere 80 hours in Sydney – 80! – to go from a reasonably healthy young man to a sickly, seemingly rickets-ridden mess. What’s to blame?
