Dutch Babies

Posted 12:21pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Kirsten Garcia

It all started with an episode of Bob’s Burgers. They stop at a diner and rave over these pancakes called Dutch Babies.  My BF is Dutch so I asked him what they’re like  and he has no idea. The next morning, I’m stalking Chrissy Teigen on insta and I find a post from Read more...

My Big Fat Greek Wedding II

Posted 12:36pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Jess Alsop

Rating: C+ I made the mistake of rewatching the first My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) the night before I saw this, and it honestly set my hopes far too high. In one of the least coherent films I’ve seen in a while, Toula (Nia Vardalos) and her husband Ian (John Corbett) are getting ready to Read more...

Batman v Superman

Posted 12:38pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Nita Sullivan

Rating: D Ok, so, Batman v Superman was just terrible. During the exhausting 2hr 31m runtime, the film follows the plight of both an unpopular Superman and ageing Batman as they initially battle each other, and then combine forces to take down a villainous Lex Luthor. To be honest, I walked out Read more...

I’ll Forget 17 — Lontalius

Posted 12:05pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Millicent Lovelock

Lontalius (Eddie Johnston) uses repetition in all the right ways. I’ve been waiting on his album I’ll Forget 17 since its debut single “All I Wanna Say” came out in 2015. Each time Johnston sings “all I have to offer is my love, it’s not enough” I find Read more...

Reservoir Dogs

Posted 12:42pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Tom Lord

Rating: A+ I am proud to say that this is one of the few reviews I have written that is completely unbiased and impartial. And by that, of course, I mean the opposite – this film is just too damned good to be impartial.  At 99 minutes it is the perfect length for nearly any Read more...

Why Do We Need...drones?

Posted 12:11pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Anthony Marris

Previously I have mentioned UAVs (drones) used in a military setting. I am not a fan of them. Now my attention is on civilian UAVs, the cute and cuddly version compared to their military brethren. But not really. UAVs have so much great potential. Search and rescue, agriculture, conservation, law Read more...

Undertale

Posted 12:13pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Lisa Blakie

Rating: A+ Within gaming circles, there is an ongoing debate about what it is that makes games important and unique among other forms of media. With reference to gameplay, these arguments usually focus on the dissonance between a game’s ludic elements (the ‘game’ part of the Read more...
