REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson – All I Ever Wanted
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011
Kelly Clarkson has made a few bold claims in the run up to the release of her new album. Radiohead, Muse, Prince, Sheryl Crow and Garbage have supposedly been influences in the writing process of her fifth album, Stronger. Poor examples, as almost none of them, bar Sheryl Crow (at the very end), show up. This is no alt-rock piece to define a generation, but what it is isn’t all that bad either. In fact, it’s very good.

REVIEW: Wuthering Heights
Monday, November 28th, 2011
Wuthering Heights is Andrea Arnold’s (and co-writer Olivia Hetreed’s) pseudo-radical re-imagining of Emily Brontë’s novel about passion and unrequited love. By transposing her trademark documentary style and mix of unprofessional and seasoned actors from Fish Tank to this adaptation, Arnold creates a version of the book that may divide fans of the book despite making perfect sense.

REVIEW: Bon Iver Live in the Grand Canal Theatre
Monday, November 28th, 2011
Bon Iver called goosebumps up to invigorate the nerve-endings sleeping my body over; Bon Iver often formed salt-water at my eyes; beat exultation into my tenderised heart; copulated in some mystifyingly personal way with my ears.

REVIEW: The Lion King
Monday, November 28th, 2011
Finally Disney made the wise decision to return this lovable classic to the distribution lists. Available to all, re-mastered in Disney Digital 3D for fans of the format and on DVD again for the first time in nearly a decade. The full colour enhanced glory of the original 2D format was again in circulation for those not convinced by the merits of 3D glasses, but gladly so as the beauty of Disney’s finer animated masterpieces is defined by the 90s when it was first released. The reintroduction of a childhood favourite for many generations has been met with great enthusiasm for those younger generations who have almost grown up without knowing about the circle of life.
