Pitch Perfect 2

Posted 1:12pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Maya Dodd

Rating 3/5 As a general rule, I don’t laugh in cinemas. I don’t cry, I don’t text and I don’t put my feet on the seats. While I do this out of respect for other cinema-goers, the main reason for my self-control is undeniably fear. It’s also judgment. Therefore, Read more...

The Ground We Won

Posted 1:15pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Harlan Jones

Rating 5/5 Films that grapple with issues fundamental to our concept of national identity are always going to be controversial. The Ground We Won is a documentary that delves into the New Zealand mythology made strong by the likes of Barry Crump’s A Good Keen Man and Greg McGee’s Read more...

Run Lola Run

Posted 1:18pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Classic Run Lola Run is a unique, adrenaline-fuelled film with an urban angst reminiscent of The Matrix and Fight Club and Guy Ritchie-esque atmosphere. However, the film stands easily on its own. With techno music, parallel universes and the late 90s involved, I can unreservedly say that Run Read more...

Paper Planes

Posted 1:21pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Andrew Kwiatkowski

Rating 1/5 Why do I care about Dylan’s paper plane quest? After 96 minutes, this question has not been answered. Paper Planes is about an average 12-year-old Australian boy called Dylan (Ed Oxenbould), whose dead mother imparted to him the gift of folding the perfect paper airplane. His Read more...

Luke Munn - swfer

Posted 12:42pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Loulou Callister-Baker

Blue Oyster Art Project Space has been simultaneously stripped back and expanded for Luke Munn’s swfer. One wall in the front room simply has the link “i-chat.mobi/” placed in cursive lettering onto its wall. In the same room, different — seemingly meaningless — letters Read more...

Blur - The Magic Whip

Posted 1:29pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Basti Menkes

Rating: 4/5 Well folks, it actually happened. Six years after reforming, and twelve since their last studio outing, Blur are back. There are several reasons why this is great news. For one, Blur always represented the more irreverent and artful side of the Britpop era. Though Blur penned some of Read more...

Slow-Cooked Chipotle Beef Tacos

I recently bought my new favourite cookbook, My Underground Kitchen by Jess Daniell. In the last 48 hours, I have cooked three meals from it and don’t see myself stopping at that. I already have this week’s feasting planned out, and it’s all out of this book. There was a Read more...

Killing Floor 2

Posted 1:05pm Sunday 24th May 2015 by Isaac Yu

Rating: 4/5 Much like the Targaryens, every time a game comes out on Steam’s Early Access, the gods flip a coin to determine whether it will be a success or doomed to fail. For every Minecraft, we have dozens of titles that remain stuck in development hell, and therefore you should be Read more...

Stay Tuned

Posted 1:37pm Sunday 17th May 2015 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Cult Stay Tuned is an imaginative, entertaining and weirdly under-appreciated family comedy that answers the question we all pondered as kids: “What would happen if I could go inside my TV and participate in all of the shows?” Turns out it wouldn’t be so great, especially if Read more...
