Cronenberg's work continues to seamlessly mutate and fill the gaps in our subconscious. His pictures Read more...

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie

Posted 11:16pm Monday 22nd August 2011 by Phoebe Harrop

Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, (5/5). Glee: The 3D Concert Movie was possibly the best 90 minutes of my life. As its somewhat unimaginative title suggests, the movie was not actually a feature-length Glee episode (glepisode?), but was in fact a 3D film version of the Glee stage show which Read more...

Posted 11:14pm Monday 22nd August 2011 by Julia Sandston

Directed by Tom Hanks, (3.5/5). Larry Crowne is Tom Hank’s sophomore attempt at writing and directing a film. Sitting a little uncomfortably between drama and comedy, it isn’t entirely sure of itself, but it is otherwise enjoyable and relatively easy viewing.   Larry Read more...

Lauren Kate

Posted 10:33pm Monday 22nd August 2011 by Sarah Maessen

The New Stephanie Meyer? I met Lauren Kate with low expectations. A quick google and perusal of Wikipedia produced multiple parallels between her work and Twilight, the vampire series that has inexplicably reached demigod status in the world of teenage literature. Kate is from Texas, the Read more...

THE HORRORS: SKYING

Posted 4:04am Monday 15th August 2011 by Basti Menkes

From the gimmicky, narcotic goth implosions of their debut album Strange House, to the stylish post-punk/shoegazing of their sophomore Primary Colours, The Horrors have demonstrated that their metamorphosis is an ongoing affair. Guitars have gone from screeching to fuzzy, drums from driving to Read more...
