2 h. ago Wild Cherry review – this fun, trashy thriller seems to have spent most of its budget on clothes

There are shades of Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives and everything Nicole Kidman has appeared in for the last five years.

Yes, you should have bought shares in the colour camel years ago but it’s too late now. Yes, the insular community and soapy vibe suggests an ancestry that includes Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl. Yes, in short, it’s trash with pretensions. But trash with pretensions...

This back yard creature must be kept under constant chemical constraint, or it risks becoming more liability than assetGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailI’ll call him Bruce. He’s any of the 3.1 million Australians living in a house with a pool or spa. Over my long career in hardware, listening to the woes of so many Bruces, I’ve discovered that owning a pool is not all fun and bubbles at cocktail hour.In the beginning, it wasn’t so bad. On first viewing his bayside property, Bruce already believed the agent’s claim that by far the most desirable addition to any home is a pool. It did look nice, glistening blue in the back yard. And weren’t the kids rapt. But now, years later, Bruce isn’t. Continue reading...
