Review: Love Life
There’s truly nothing better to do in these cold, blustery nights than to curl up on the sofa and watch a good tale of tear-jerking romance. Love Life, a HBO series created by Sam Boyd, is the perfect binge watch, the perfect romcom, the perfect mix of tough life realisations, funny mishaps, overbearing mothers and […]
Review: WHY R U?
Imagine waking up one day in a drama world written by your sister in which everything has become the complete opposite of reality; your best friend is in love with his archenemy… and your lover is your nemesis. Aired from January to April 2020, WHY R U? is a Thai BL/gay television series that follows […]
Review: Positions by Ariana Grande
I’d like to preface this review by saying that I love Ariana Grande. Her past two albums have been brilliant and feature some of the best songs of her career, despite coming out within six months of each other. God is a woman was my most played song on Spotify for two years in a […]
Review: Final US Presidential Debate
Nashville, Tennessee played host to the final presidential debate ahead of the November 3rd election between President Donald Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden. Unsurprisingly, policy matters played second fiddle to point scoring and scaremongering from both ends of the stage. For the most part, both candidates were restrained: the interruptions which dominated the […]
Review: Presidential Town Halls
If the first Presidential debate didn’t put you off US politics for good, your patience is commendable: the shouting match between Biden and Trump left much to be desired in terms debating quality and coherent sentences. It seemed fitting, then, that the second debate was replaced by candidates attending simultaneous town hall meetings. Trump was […]
What To Watch: Hush
People who don’t enjoy watching horror films often ask – “why would anybody watch something which is solely designed to terrify you?” And it’s a good question. The answer seems to be that watching our worst nightmares play out on-screen has the potential to be cathartic, allowing us to purge ourselves of our own fear […]
Review: US Vice-Presidential Debate
As Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris took part in their first and only face-off, we were reminded of what a somewhat functioning political debate looks like. The Vice Presidential debate had features of last week’s atrocious Presidential counterpart, but was far more forgiving on the senses; much of the structure and debated […]
Film Review: I’m Thinking Of Ending Things
I never like to describe a filmmaker as bizarre. Often in the modern world of big-budget blockbusters (admittedly movies I enjoy as much as anyone), that word can be misconstrued as somebody simply doing something original – something a bit out of the box. It’s a word often used to label the likes of David […]
Review: Rhapsody of Ogygia by ORPH€A
In our university, we have many successful up-and-coming musicians, and this rich talent is often displayed by STAR, especially by events such as the Bell Pettigrew Sessions. In this article, I’ll be exploring the most recent EP by Kristie, also known as ORPH€A, Rhapsody of Ogygia, with songs inspired by Homer’s Odyssey – so, as […]
What To Watch: Captain Fantastic
A beautiful stag pads into a forest clearing dappled with golden sunlight. It’s an Edenic paradise, and all is still. Then a teenage boy, caked in mud and grime, springs from the bushes and brutally stabs the deer through its heart. As it lies dying at his feet, the beast’s blood is smeared over the […]
