Heretic Review: A thrilling puzzle far more intricate than your everyday horror

Nov 24, 2024 | maketheswitch.com.au | Charlie David Page

SWITCH: 'HERETIC' TRAILER It's clear from the outset that this film isn't going to appeal to a lot of audiences - and that's a real shame. It's not a through-and-through horror, so will disappoint many key audience members in the United States. Those who are afraid to have religion challenged will find offence here, while those with no interest in religion will find it doesn't resonate.
Kinds of Kindness Review: A lurid yet lengthy Yorgos Lanthimos movie

Jun 10, 2024 | maketheswitch.com.au | Charlie David Page

SWITCH: 'KINDS OF KINDNESS' TEASER TRAILER It's challenging to review this as a film in its entirety with this format, although it's not unique in this style; the excellent 'Wild Tales' comes to mind. There is a throughline of isolation for each story's key character, and they each face a hurdle to overcome that loneliness.
Australian bird flu cases: the potential impact on humans and native wildlife - Australian Geographic

May 23, 2024 | australiangeographic.com.au | Charlie David Page |Elisabeth Marie

Diagnostic testing at CSIRO’s Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness at Geelong in Victoria has confirmed it as the highly pathogenic H7N3 strain of avian influenza, or ‘bird flu’. The strain was detected after an investigation into unexpected poultry deaths on the farm. Agriculture Victoria released a statement saying the property has been placed into quarantine with a reported 400,000 birds being “depopulated”, and that staff are on the ground to support the business and investigate further.
How to see the ‘devil comet’ from Australia

Apr 21, 2024 | australiangeographic.com.au | Jonti Horner |Charlie David Page

Now it’s our turn, as comet 12P/Pons–Brooks is creeping into view for the southern hemisphere. Before you get too excited, let me quash your hopes. Comet Pons–Brooks is visible to the naked eye, but only if you know where to look. It will look like a fuzzy glowing patch, but nonetheless promises some amazing photo opportunities for the coming weeks. Even better, it may serve as a celestial warm-up act for an even more special comet later in the year.

World-beater solo yachtswoman Lisa Blair racks up two big sailing records while taking her climate message across the ditch

The 2022 Australian Geographic Adventurer of the Year and 2017 Spirit of Adventure winner has just set two new sailing speed records (yet to be ratified by WSSRC) for the fastest time from Sydney to Auckland, slicing an incredible more than 4 days off the old record to finish in 8 days, 3 hours and 19 minutes on 9 April 2024. She also achieved the first woman, solo monohull record for the ocean crossing.

Flying around Australia to recreate historic flight from 100 years ago

Apr 4, 2024 | australiangeographic.com.au | Chrissie Goldrick |Charlie David Page

Trailblazing aviator Michael Smith won the coveted Australian Geographic Adventurer of the Year medallion in 2016 for his round-the-world solo flight in a custom-built seaplane. Enchanted by the luxury, glamour and romance of the Qantas flying boats of the 1930s, Michael hoped to retrace the original “kangaroo route” between Australia and England as closely as possible.
You'll Never Find Me Review: A satisfying new Australian horror thriller

Mar 9, 2024 | maketheswitch.com.au | Charlie David Page

SWITCH: 'YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME' TRAILER This may seem like a simple premise - a man and woman trapped together in one location, but who's the real baddie? - but what elevates 'You'll Never Find Me' above your usual thriller and horror fodder is the exceptional quality of the writing. We're really allowed to get to know the two characters, both together in their conversations and in private moments. We learn much in quiet moments of contemplation or slight actions that betray motivations.
