I've been reviewing and commenting on films professionally in Cairns North Queensland in Northern Australia for nearly ten years.

A weekly spot on the Australian Broadcasting Commission regional radio network commenting on film has been accompanied by weekly reviews for Barfly Magazine, a Cairns Arts street magazine. Most films that have opened on the multiplex circuit in Australia are covered.

These reviews reflect a reviewer who can enjoy mainstream films if they're done well but enjoys more audacious work; films that are made with sensitivity; films that surprise.

And there is a pronounced bias towards Australian films, but only if they're good Australian movies!

My day job is Dentistry! I've maintained a private practice in Cairns for over 20 years.

My first job was however as a copy boy with Rupert Murdoch's first newspaper, the now defunct Adelaide afternoon rag called The News. Journalism is I think in my blood.

Speaking of blood, don't you just love Vampire Films??
