After another year plagued by lockdowns and all manner of distractions, I'm surprised that we were treated to such an exceptional year of cinematic delights. From bombastic blockbusters, to intimate tales of personal discovery, the year kind of had something for everyone. These are my favourite cinematic experiences for the year. I’m not suggesting they were the year’s “best” films, as for me that’s a redundant term for art. Some great films couldn’t sneak into the top 10. 

I’d love to hear what your favourite film of the year was. Feel free to drop a line in the comments below, or come over to play on our Facebook page here.

In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
