What To Watch: Tangled
In the land of Corona, a young woman is confined to her home and dreams of the outside world… Despite sounding a lot like the circumstances many of us are facing in the present-day, this premise is actually the fantasy set-up for Tangled, Disney’s adaptation of the Rapunzel myth. Tangled is a delightful film which […]
5 Black Comedians To Watch On Netflix
Ten days have passed since Juneteenth – a holiday to celebrate the emancipation of American slaves – and what better way to (belatedly) celebrate than supporting black artists. So, I have compiled a list of the top five black comedians I watched on Netflix these past few days. A quick disclaimer though, I am American, […]
What To Watch: Crimson Peak
Picture the scene: it’s 2015 and there’s a new Guillermo Del Toro film coming out. Fifteen-year-old me is beyond excited, as I’ve been a huge fan of this director since I first watched Pan’s Labyrinth in a Year 9 Spanish lesson (we were far too young – I’m still scarred from the bottle scene). That […]
An Extremely Biased Lockdown Reading List
Lockdown has brought with it an enforced return to more solitary, simple pleasures. Occasionally I’ve found journalists sparing a few column inches for discussion of these, with one hobby sticking out in particular. Sadly I’m a terrible gardener, so you’re getting some book recommendations instead. It’s not difficult to see why reading has become the […]
Review: FS Playhaus
To say this year’s annual Fashion Show was a success would be an understatement. From start to finish the marquee on Lower College lawn was buzzing with an air of excitement. The event really did provide students with the perfect final opportunity to let loose with their nearest and dearest before the dark cloud of […]
Reviewed: Welly Ball
Despite the fact that week 8 had granted me a healthy dose of cynicism, I nonetheless strapped on my wellys and braced for my night at Kinkell Byre. Greeted by the familiar array of fairy lights and plastic flutes of prosecco, I graciously accepted and sipped my bubbly, all the while weaving my way through […]
Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The first thing that needs to be said in any review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is that Tim Curry deserves an Oscar. With that out of the way, we can move on to the second thing: even Tim Curry at his best just can’t beat the sheer joy of flinging a […]
Trash Thursday: The Great British Bake Off
My name is Jamie Rodney, and I don’t like the Great British Bake Off. I understand that that isn’t quite as controversial a statement as it used to be, so allow me to qualify it. I don’t like the Great British Bake off. I have never liked the Great British Bake Off. The departure […]
Love Letter To: Brooklyn 99
I understand that this is a weird time to write about this particular subject, that it might have been more pertinent to talk about the importance on Brooklyn 99 earlier this year, when it was dramatically cancelled and then uncancelled, or later, when season 6 comes out. But it was coming back to University […]
Kingsman: Red Pill, Blue Pill, No Pill, Booze Pill
Calum Esler Kingsman: The Secret Service was a fun, light-hearted spy movie that refused to take itself too seriously. It changed the game for a genre that has recently moved into the area of intense, gritty thrillers and what’s more, it was entertaining to watch. So with all that on my mind I went into […]
