• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Fool that I am, I Netflixed on this. One and a half hours of my life I’ll never get back.

No amount of gurning by Hanks, no amount of frenetic direction by Howard could reanimate this dead turkey.

Some nice travelogue footage, tho.

The stand-out performer was Irrfan Khan. Stole every scene he was in. Now tragically deceased :(
