One dad’s been playing the excellent GameCube classic, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker with his daughter. The game, besides being perhaps the most beautiful Zelda game ever made, also features a much younger hero than usual. In fact Link is a fairly gender ambiguous lad out to rescue his sister while teaming up with [...]

When talking about women’s contribution to film it’s incredibly easy to be a bit myopic and only really acknowledge Hollywood women–those who moved there and those who became famous there. BUT film isn’t just sunny and incredibly comfortable temperature wise California. Until the Nazification of Germany that country had a more prolific and higher quality [...]

There’s this funny little idea that when it comes to technology most women are the last to know. Men embrace the gadgets and make them thrive and women all adopt two years later and only when the gadgets are cheaper, pink and come loaded with make up tips and menstrual calendars (because all ladies menstruate [...]

She was the daughter of a general with a passion for truth and justice and tight blue long underwear. The object of affection for the most powerful and recognizable man in the world she teased, frustrated, delighted and humoured us through multiple tv shows, a series of best-selling comics and a couple of movies you [...]

If you were tuned in during the 90′s, you undoubtedly remember when the trio from down under, Silverchair, exploded onto the alternative rock scene in 1995.  Just fourteen years old, Daniel Johns, Ben Gilles, and Chris Joannou took Australia and the United States by storm with a grungy single called Tomorrow.  The iconic music video [...]
