Sherpa

Posted 12:41pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Lisa Blakie

Rating: A If anyone you know doesn’t know what white privilege is, or is too ignorant to even try to understand, all they need to do is watch Sherpa and everything around the concept will become abundantly clear. If not, you need to disassociate yourself from them ASAP. Sherpa is a Read more...

Chicken Kiev

Posted 1:18pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Kirsten Garcia

The origins of this dish are unknown but it seems to have been made popular by the Soviets. It’s like garlic bread but instead of bread, we’re using chicken. I was considering calling this recipe a butter bomb since that’s what you’ll essentially get. I do love butter. I am a Read more...

Zootopia

Posted 12:45pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Jess Alsop

Rating: A- I knew very little about Zootopia before I saw it, so I’ll admit I was expecting some kind of strange Madagascar knock-off. Luckily I was wrong.  Instead, Zootopia is about a world run by animals that have evolved from their ‘savage’ days of being predators Read more...

Mind of Mine - Zayn Malik

Posted 12:53pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Millicent Lovelock

When Zayn started releasing singles post-One Direction I was worried that it was going to take him an album and a bit to get into the swing of things. I wasn’t overly impressed by ‘Pillowtalk’, although it is a catchy tune I don’t think it is all that cohesive, and Read more...

Don’t Starve - Shipwrecked

Posted 12:58pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by James Tregonning

Rating: A- Don’t Starve was originally released for PC in 2013, and was pretty successful, getting a PS4 port the next year. It’s a survival game in which you, a scientist named Wilson, have meddled with powers beyond your ken and have been sucked into an unknown world, where you have Read more...

Why do we need..augmented reality?

Posted 1:00pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Anthony Marris

Augmented reality (AR) is where applications on mobile and tablet devices are able to use both the camera lens and a database to add additional information onto a real world scene in real time (or near to). This is different from Virtual Reality. In VR, the scene is created from nothing and fed to Read more...

Florence and the Uffizi Gallery

Posted 12:37pm Sunday 24th April 2016 by Jessica Thompson

Rating: B+ Florence and the Uffizi Gallery is my entire art history course for this semester. But try not to let that put you off. In a tiny cinema this simple documentary swept me out of my seat into another country, for a high quality tour of Italian Renaissance art. Directed by Luca Viotto Read more...

Sleepless in Seattle

Posted 12:42pm Sunday 17th April 2016 by Nita Sullivan

Rating: A- I last rewatched this epic 1993 romance on Easter weekend, when TV2 was running old movies all day for the public holidays, and to be honest, it was as good as when I watched it the first time.  90s movie romance power couple Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are the two leads in Read more...
