Zen to the point of almost being anodyne. But what I need right now
Very cute, very pure, well casted, acted with sincerity and honesty
I feel this is an inferior version of The Holy Mountain. Same religious motifs, but without the brilliant surreal elements to keep me interested
Every frame is beautiful, relentless in its originality and ambition. It’s absurdness still holds up after all this time
An arthouse endurance film. Intentionally and uncomfortably slow. Unexpected alien conclusion
Virtuoso movie – incredible in its scope, funny, fast, complex. Wanted to see it again as soon as it finished
Thoughtful and ambitious album that is tinged with bright melancholic nostalgia
Beautiful, surprising and original film that is yet another fuck you to straight white American men
Really fun intimate vibe – rare instance where the live performance is better than the recording
Restrained, classical reinterpretations of Placebo hits. Really well staged, really well done
Dancey calypso throwback music. Kinda what I need right now
Haven’t even finished listening to this album and I know I love it
Some very good tracks – a total throwback to 90s Placebo, but Moloko’s repetitive lyrics grate
Average children’s movie, but Jack Whitehall was not too bad (despite his awful American accent)
Surprisingly visually cohesive. Parts of the movie could almost be Arthouse. Unfortunately the cruel torture left a bad taste for me
Good music but boring stage show. This show is notable for being the first that I witnessed crowd dancing after COVID
Not funny enough, horrific enough or musically interesting enough. Added nothing to Foo Fighters brand
Cowboy caricatures, interesting perverse and detailed stories. I got a bit tired of the griminess of them after a while but Brokeback Mountain is still excellent
Pronounced disparity between good and bad teams but in the end, a very clean race despite the COVID interruption
Very visually striking production design. Probably best opera I’ve seen, but I still fell asleep in parts
Iconic, shocking and still powerfully raw 50 years on
Made me cry. Totally drawn into the world of people and their deep care for each other
Incredibly well drawn, but became a bit repetitive after a while
Really good synthesis of fiction and non fiction delivered in a crazy premise
Wanky but a much needed meditative salve
Jim Carey’s character is unlikable but the Michel Gondry influence kept me hooked
Very dry and serious – well put together, but…monochromatic
Interesting take on the super hero genre. Angelina was fabulous
Varied but felt very academic. A third enjoyable
Incredible expansion of the world of Radiohead reimagined in an unfettered digital gallery
A cafe without any of the pretence, that reminds you of the honest goodness of simple food and sincere service. I’m not sure how busy trade normally is, but I picture this place being a perfect spot for a quiet lunch with a close friend. I look forward very much to returning. Location Morphett Road, […]
This place does a roaring trade on weeknights in the suburbs which is testament to how good it is. No wonder as the food is great and the servings generous. I would suggest going here with a largish group. That way you’ll be able to try more dishes without ending up with too much food. […]
This review and rating is for the combo Vietnamese bread roll here. Pretty much perfect. $6 for crispy roast pork, chicken, pate, fresh cucumber, chilli and coriander in a lightly oven toasted bread roll. No need to complicate it people. Would gladly return for this roll alone Location Grand Junction Road, Hope Valley, Adelaide, SA
This review is for the lunch time roast pork bread roll or “bahn mi” (this misspelling of banh mi…URGH). My main issue with the roll was that it cost $8.90. If it was cheaper, I would be more forgiving. Unfortunately the roast pork was just not that crispy. Maybe the higher than average cost can […]
I really enjoyed my meal here. We had the sweet lamb tagine and a rustic mixed grill which were both great – not fancy by any measure but definitely tasty. The restaurant setting is a little dark, but has a unpretentious and eclectic style which gives you plenty to look at. Just as well as […]
This is the first ramen I’ve had in Adelaide that’s actually made me want to return for more. The broth is moreish, the egg gooey and the meat lusciously tender. I also loved the house made noodles which were the perfect consistency. The yakitori was (as it is usually in other places) pricey but equally […]
First and foremost, absolutely no complaints with the food and service here – both were very good. On the bad side, due to the design of this restaurant, there is a high probability that you will leave with your clothes smelling like your meal. This might be annoying for some, but for me, it was […]
I understand now that when people say some place has the best (or just good) fish and chips, they’re basing their critique largely on the seafood and not really at all on the chips The seafood here is indeed really good. Unlike at some other places, it’s fresh and actually identifiable as real seafood. The […]
Honki Tonki is surprisingly good. Good food, in good portions at fair prices. It’s been a while since they’ve first opened, so the trendy and deliberate Asian fit out now has a real authentic and grimy feel. It’s so authentic that you might question whether or not it’s safe to eat here. Don’t worry though! […]
Fast, but unremarkable bread rolls. Carrot is barely pickled and I found the overall flavour to be too mild for my liking. There are no meal deals either, so it can be a bit expensive if you want the typical spring roll/dim sim and soft drink combo. As for the franchise logo – a Caucasian […]
This was the only place open on Sunday on Hindley Street during Adelaide festival season. Still a bit alarmed at that! Anyway, while this place was a bit of a last resort, it was by no means a disappointing experience as our meal here was absolutely superb. My mouth has started salivating at the memory […]
Any place that serves soju and half decent Korean fried chicken until 3am in the morning on a weekend is already pretty awesome in my opinion. Add to that, the comfy and relatively quiet setting and you have a great chill out place. A great place to take mates near the end of a night […]
If you’re in the mood for good Chinese food, you’re going to have to bury your expectations at the Hahndorf Chinese Restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient but the food is at best only okay – it is certainly not authentic by a long stretch. To be fair, this is at least consistent with […]
I would gladly return to this place. I’m sure if you’re Hawaiian you might take issue with this being representative of your culture, but for this idiot who knows no better, it was fresh, simple and tasty. Plus, I love any excuse to eat tropical fruit in a main (yes I like pineapple on pizza […]
