Posted 2:17pm Sunday 6th March 2016 by Campbell Calverley

Rating: A+ Bloodbourne was released in March of 2015, and I realised that it was the best game that I would play for a long time.

Concussion

Posted 2:03pm Sunday 6th March 2016 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Rating: B This movie seemed very promising. Just like its contemporary Spotlight, it tells an important, recent true story about a powerful organization covering up wrongdoings, following the individuals who attempt to expose the truth.

Deadpool

Posted 1:54pm Sunday 6th March 2016 by Lisa Blakie

Rating: A- Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool), is the newest addition to the slew of superheroes in the Marvel cinematic universe. Played exceptionally well by Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool is all about sex, hefty violence, and Wham!  This is not a Disney Marvel film (Avengers, Iron Man, Thor etc), it is Read more...

Why Do We Need…Streaming Sites?

This week we have a Thailand delicacy. I took a cooking class while I was there this summer so I’ll probably share a few of the curries and noodle dishes I learned (Pad Thai anyone?). Since I am the kind of person that doesn’t mind having dessert first, let’s start off with this Read more...

The Beginners Guide

Posted 1:27pm Sunday 28th February 2016 by Campbell Calverley

Rating: 4/5 Far from being a digital introductory handbook for any new students, The Beginner’s Guide is hard to describe. That is not surprising, given that it is from the creators of the excellent Stanley Parable, a sadomasochistic journey into unreliable narration. The Beginner’s Read more...
