FEATURES: I’d like to thank all the little people…
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
It’s that time of year again when inhabitants of Hollywood feast on diets comprising solely of green food, the sofa is substituted for the sun-bed, colonic irrigation becomes as frequent as yoga and dozens of identical statuettes are frantically polished gold. For the 83rd year, Hollywood’s finest gather to honour the most talented, unique and deserving of the acting calibre. This year, a stammering king, a technology phenomenon and a disturbed ballerina are characters in the biggest drama of all: the Oscars.

REVIEW: Westlife – Gravity
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010
After a year-long break, Ireland’s most successful boy band, Westlife, have returned to the limelight with their eleventh album, Gravity. Previous to its release the band claimed this is the album “they have always wanted to make”, yet listening to the tracks, it is not quite clear why, because although the sound is perhaps more mature, it is not wholly distinguishable from their previous ten releases.

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
As the title dictates, Tim McGarry’s solo show at the Grand Opera House embodies a lesson structure, taking the audience on a journey through Ireland’s five thousand year history of invasion, war and famine with McGarry at the top of the class acting as teacher.

FEATURES: The good and the bad of returning to university
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010
The summer months felt like an indefinite time of travels, festivals and parties, with the next academic year far from everyone’s mind. However, October has crept gradually upon us once again. You hear from friends that you haven’t spoken to since exam time and there is frenzy over the dreaded QSIS. The return to university is one that is filled with conflicting sentiments, with both good and bad points accompanying the move back to Queen’s. Fingers crossed that the good outweighs the bad.

REVIEW: The White Ribbon
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Winner of this year’s Palme d’Or award in Cannes, Michael Haneke’s ‘The White Ribbon’ is set in a pre WW1 agricultural German village, where order, rule and discipline are absolute, and enforced by the village Baron and heavily imposed on a moral level by the harsh and stern Protestant pastor. However, the structure of harmonious village life seems to disintegrate with the horrific events that ensue, and the sense of order is soon revealed as corrupt or non-existent.
