NEWS: Queen’s Socialists to protest at Vice-Chancellor’s office

 

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

 

Queen’s Socialist Society intends to protest outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office next Tuesday afternoon in opposition to the Browne review. This comes at a time when its members have been increasingly critical of the Students’ Union’s tactics in its campaign against the Browne review, and argue that the SU should hold more large demonstrations similar to those held previously in the campaign. Announcing the protest for next Tuesday at 1.00pm, Queen’s Socialist Society Secretary, Tyler McNally said “You can’t just go out and go home.”

OPINION: We are the jilted generation

 

Monday, November 15th, 2010

 

Ever felt like you’ve received a raw deal? Apparently an entire generation of us does. If you are under 30 years of age you are classed as a member of the ‘jilted generation’. We are the offspring of Thatcher’s baby boomers, and my, aren’t we in bother.

REVIEW: Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole

 

Monday, November 15th, 2010

 

Zack Snyder has a history of making a certain type of film, be it his Dawn of the Dead remake or highly successful adaptations of 300, and Watchmen. All the films are essentially littered with brutal, yet stylised, violence as well as oozing tonnes of sex appeal. So whenever it was announced Snyder was attempting a children’s fantasy film about owls, many eyebrows were raised. The results however are really quite remarkable.
