The Lion King 3D

Posted 5:16am Monday 10th October 2011 by Julia Hollingsworth

Director: Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff (4/5) It’s a movie dear to the hearts of Gen Y-ers everywhere. For a time, if there was an occasion that required a group of children to shut up and be quiet, it was the movie that fit the brief; if there was a need for a new song to update the school Read more...

Director: David R. Ellis (2/5) Shark Night 3D revolves around a group of college kids who decide to spend a weekend at their friend Sara’s lake house. What starts out as a fun trip takes a turn for the worse; when the star football player stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn Read more...

27th Terrain: The Co-Ordinates of Home

Posted 5:10am Monday 10th October 2011 by Maya Turei

Bi-Cultural Theatre Class (3.5/5)    27th Terrain: the Co-ordinates of Home was a devised piece by the Bi-Cultural Theatre class. I enjoyed myself a lot. Sometimes I didn't quite understand it, but I definitely had a good time. Personally I think that devised theatre is best created Read more...

Incredibly Hot Sex with Hideous People - Bryce Galloway

Posted 5:08am Monday 10th October 2011 by Sarah Maessen

(4/5) I think the first port of call for this review is to point out that this book is not about sex (apart from the occasional reference) or hideous people (as far as the sparse photographs show). It is an abridged collection of the first 37 issues of Bryce Galloway’s fanzine. Generally Read more...

Boredom, You Conqueror - Ink Mathematics

Posted 5:06am Monday 10th October 2011 by Sam Valentine

(3/5) Dunedin isn’t exactly short on fine purveyors’ of the sonically heavy. Hell, Made in China, Soulseller and Mountaineater can all be downright punishing, while this year’s battle of the bands winners’ A.F.F.C.O might be the sludgiest and angriest band in the entire Read more...

The Hunter - Mastodon

Posted 5:04am Monday 10th October 2011 by Basti Menkes

(2.5/5) After hitting their commercial and creative stride with 2009's celestial Crack the Skye, American heavy metal outfit Mastodon return with their most vanilla album to date. Felicitously titled The Hunter, this back-to-basics approach to their very own progressive sludge style seems Read more...

Date Cups

Posted 5:02am Monday 10th October 2011 by Niki Lomax

I cannot take credit for these. Much to everyone’s delight, one of my flatmates has recently taken it upon himself to become a baking king. This is a significant turn around from previous years where his aversion to following recipes led to some strange kitchen concoctions. Most Read more...

Samin Son - Hammer Piece

Posted 5:00am Monday 10th October 2011 by Hana Aoake

None Gallery, 24 Stafford Street It is difficult to articulate the sense of anguish and pain reflected in Samin Son’s Hammer piece. I felt as though I were submerged inside Son’s subconscious, as if no words would be adequate to describe how such an intense experience affected Read more...

Worms: Ultimate Mayhem

Posted 4:57am Monday 10th October 2011 by Toby Hills

Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC (3/5) “Ultimate mayhem?”, you say. How can this incarnation of Worms possibly be the apotheosis of anarchy when it has only been rated E10+ by the ESRB? Worms: Ultimate Mayhem might be a misnomer but it's still Worms (albeit 3D Worms) and it is still Read more...

Burnout CRASH!

Posted 4:55am Monday 10th October 2011 by Toby Hills

Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3 (2.5/5) Speed limits mean that cars don't matter. It's harsh, I know, but that's the truth. It doesn't matter if your car is a V13 with big-ol’ fuel injected cutoffs and chrome plated rods (oh yeah), it will stagnate and slowly die, never able to achieve its Read more...
