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...

Tracks

Posted 12:15pm Sunday 10th April 2016 by Jessica Thompson

This is the first travel book I have ever fallen in love with. I haven’t read many in my time—growing up in a family of mountaineers makes the climbing books strewn about the house too ordinary to appear interesting enough to devour — and the ones I have perused were always too Read more...

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...

Posted 1:11pm Sunday 3rd April 2016 by Hayleigh Clarkson

It is a beautiful tale of Marie-Laure, a young blind girl living in Paris, and Werner, a young orphan boy living in Germany on the cusp of the Second World War.
