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.

OPINION: Another week of television
Monday, November 15th, 2010
BBC1’s The Apprentice has quickly become one of the year’s major Television events, and once again “some of Britain’s brightest business prospects” are fighting to become Sir Alan Sugar’s latest recruit. Week six saw Sir Alan arrive unannounced at 7.30am to present the latest challenge, before spending five minutes scowling at his watch. The remaining contestants hurried to get dressed and ready, no doubt wondering why he hadn’t bothered to call beforehand.

REVIEW: RED
Sunday, November 14th, 2010
The latest film from Robert Schwentke, ambiguously titled RED, short for Retired and Extremely Dangerous, both surprised and disappointed in various capacities. Surprising in seeing the level of genuinely top class acting talent scattered throughout the film; surprising also in being one of the few DC Comic adaptations not released by Warner Bros (DC’s parent company) and surprising in how much fun it ultimately was. However, it also disappointed for being, annoyingly, like every other action film throughout 2010.
