A Month Of Sundays

Posted 1:11pm Sunday 31st July 2016 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Rating: B+ Australia seems to be quite good at producing heartwarming comedies, and when I went along to this one I was expecting something in the same vein as The Castle or The Dish. In the end, it felt more like a Wes Anderson production, in that it is artfully shot and could be described as Read more...

Labyrinth of Lies

Posted 12:58pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Shaun Swain

Rating: A- “I want these lies, and this silence to end.” A succinct summary of the driving motivation behind an issue almost too big for this two hour film. I say “almost” with admiration and respect for director Giulio Ricciarelli, who manages to imbue this German Read more...

The BFG

Posted 1:01pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Rating: C+ The BFG was my favourite childhood book by Roald Dahl, and as far as my distant memories of the book go, the movie does it justice story-wise. So why is the movie so dull? I’m really not sure, but here are some observations.  I didn’t find myself caring about either Read more...

Central Intelligence

Posted 1:04pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Shaun Swain

Rating: B- The central aspect of a buddy cop/spy film is the “buddy” part of it. With the tagline “saving the world takes a little Hart and a big Johnson” it becomes apparent that in Central Intelligence, the “buddy” comes from not just the characters, but also Read more...

Nude sculpture, a freaky fish plate, gorgeous florals and sweeping watercolours compile one of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery’s latest exhibitions. This marks the one-hundrenth birthday of Doris Lusk, one of the most prominent New Zealand artists of the twentieth century. In memory of her, the Read more...

Split Pea Fritter Stack

Posted 1:13pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Kirsten Garcia

Split Peas are commonly used in soups and curries. They have a surprisingly high amount of protein which means they are filling, and they’re budget as can be, making them a very economical option for flat cooking. This recipe is basically corn fritters, replacing half of the corn with split Read more...

Abe’s Oddysee

Posted 12:42pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Ryan Collins

Rating: CLASSIC I first played Abe’s Oddysee on a demo disc that came with the original PlayStation. The demo showcased almost the entire first section of the game, which I played through several times before buying the full game—and its sequel, Abe’s Exoddus—sometime Read more...

Bitch Planet

This deeply feminist graphic novel is set in an alternate reality and somewhat dystopian future where non-compliant women are sent to an off-planet prison (AKA Bitch Planet). The comic follows a diverse group of women from different backgrounds. All of these women are watched and controlled by Read more...

Money Monster

Posted 12:56pm Sunday 24th July 2016 by Andrew Kwiatkowski

Rating: A A 90-minute thrill-ride through a real-time hostage crisis, Money Monster delivers a vigorous story and dazzling performances. George Clooney is a washed-up financial news TV host, who is taken hostage live on air when an out-of-pocket investor (Jack O’Connell) breaks into his Read more...
