Although it didn’t begin with a neigh, a horse certainly drew a global audience’s attention to the use of the internet as a medium for art. The Twitter account, @Horse_ebooks, which published seemingly automatic, computer-generated anecdotes like “Everything happens so much” Read more...

Chicken, Mushroom and Coriander Dumplings

Posted 1:42pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

Dumplings are probably my favourite international dough and meat combo. After making three lots of dumplings this weekend, I thought it was time to share another of my favourite varieties. You can put whatever you want in a dumpling; any combination of mince, vegetable and herb will usually work. Read more...

Posted 1:37pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Anonymous Bird

Rating 5/5 The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest instalment, Avengers: Age of Ultron, brings us back to the team, but now they’re working together and combining their powers to form a more cohesive and effective team that makes for one hell of an entertaining, fun and clever Read more...

Napoleon Dynamite

Posted 1:33pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Ella Borrie

Cult It’s impossible to have a lukewarm reaction to Napoleon Dynamite. The film divides people — you either adore its low-key absurdity or find it totally pointless. In fact, the movie is so polarising, it broke Netflix’s algorithm. The website couldn’t accurately Read more...

The Age of Adaline

Posted 1:28pm Sunday 3rd May 2015 by Shaun Swain

Rating: 2/5 There’s a special kind of disappointment when a film’s premise is extremely promising, presented well and then ruined by acts of “love” that endorse stalking and manipulation as valid responses to superficial admiration. The Age of Adaline is an epic Read more...

Samba

Posted 2:08pm Sunday 26th April 2015 by Simon Kingsley-Holmes

Rating: 4/5 People often say the best filmmaking is the sort you don’t notice, where you can just get involved with the characters and story; while that’s not necessarily true, in Samba this philosophy works beautifully. The film’s opening sequence shows the buzz of a tacky, Read more...

Game of Thrones, Season 5 (Episode 1)

Posted 2:04pm Sunday 26th April 2015 by Shaun Swain

TV It is hard to come by anyone who has not seen at least one episode of the high-fantasy TV series, Game of Thrones. While it is often assumed that everyone watches Game of Thrones, whether people have read the books is a completely different story. However, with the highly anticipated dawn of Read more...

It Follows

Posted 2:01pm Sunday 26th April 2015 by Jaxon Langley

Rating 5/5 In a genre so dried up and filled with clichés, It Follows is truly a dark horse. The film first premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival with no trailer, no stars and very little information about the plotline. When I first saw the film, I walked in not knowing what I was Read more...
