The Elder Scrolls Online

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Baz Macdonald

Disclaimer: Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are immense games, containing content enough for, theoretically, years of gameplay. As such, this review is not comprehensive, but rather a review of the experiences I have had with it in its first few weeks of being live. Read more...

Savoury Crepes

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Sophie Edmonds

Back when I was at high school (to make certain people feel old, that was a mere six years ago) we had a French exchange student called Alan. It sounds terrible, but we used to exploit him for his crepe making abilities. After all, he was French – this sort of thing is automatically programmed into Read more...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Baz Macdonald

Rating: A There have been moments in the past decade when the abundance of superhero movies became tedious. With everybody rushing to join this trend, there were years where all we got was origin story after origin story. Now, however, I feel we have entered the golden age of the genre, as we Read more...

The selfish giant

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Andrew Kwiatkowski

Rating: A- The Selfish Giant is bleak. Not only is it about two brats, Arbor and Swifty, being expelled from school and scratching a living pilfering scrap metal for a crooked bookie in an impoverished town in Northern England, it also features a beautiful horse being electrocuted and melted Read more...

Tracks

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Sydney Lehman

Rating: A Tracks is one of the most powerful films I have seen. The cinematography is breathtakingly beautiful, as is the expansive and dangerous Australian desert. Normally, I don’t love journey films; or films about endless and repetitive landscapes such as deserts, oceans and space. Read more...

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Rosie Howells

Rating: A There is no way to adequately summarise The Grand Budapest Hotel’s plot in a couple of sentences, but it must be done for the purposes of this review, so please keep in mind the following paragraph does not remotely do the film justice. The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the eponymous Read more...

How to: Not look like a fresher

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Emma & Liam

College residence t-shirts are not to be worn in public. Nobody cares that you did enough extracurricular activities to get into Arana. Leave those awkwardly fitted t-shirts, along with your school leaver’s hoodie, for all of the lazy, hungover Sundays. Dunedin is not the Coromandel. The Read more...

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Posted 1:58pm Sunday 27th April 2014 by Chelsea Boyle

Philip K. Dick depicts a desolate and battered San Francisco in his post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Earth, post-World War Terminus, has been swathed in radioactive dust causing the eventual death of many species we have today. Most people have been Read more...
