Wednesday, April 20th, 2011
On Thursday 14 April 2011 members of the QUB Wado Ryu Karate Club took part in fundraiser with a difference. The club was trying to think of ways to raisemoney for the earthquake victims and they came up with the unique idea of £1 1 Punch and the wheels were put in motion. David Bradley fromthe Student Union wanted a disclaimer saying it has to be signed before they could punch. We complied with this and on Thursday night 14 April between 6.30 and 9.30pmthe Club raised £396.55.

REVIEW: TT3D: Closer to the Edge
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
TT street racing, despite its continuing controversies, is embedded into the sporting culture of my home country, Northern Ireland. Every year avid bike fans will come from all over the world to spectate, participate and experience the legendary North West 200. Yet shamefully it’s not something I’ve personally ever been a huge fan of, mainly because I’ve never taken the time to really get to know the ins and outs of the sport. So, asking me to watch a documentary about the première event of the calendar year, the Isle of Man TT could potentially be asking for trouble. Boy was I wrong…

REVIEW: Red Riding Hood
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
I wonder how this film might have been envisioned if the Twilight phenomenon hadn’t swept into the hearts of millions of adolescent females across the world. Nevertheless, regardless of how anyone really feels about the story of Edward Cullen and his charmless lover, Bella Swan, it’s happened, it was bloody successful and unfortunately now’s the time for the loosely inspired spin-offs.

REVIEW: Evita – Queen’s Music Society Theatre Group
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
“Behind every great man stands a great woman,” goes the saying. Certainly in Evita’s case this is false, simply because Eva Perón is shown to be greater than her husband, Juan. Queen’s Music Society Theatre Group’s production of the musical is one that rises far above their amateur status.

REVIEW: The Gospel of Mark – A performance by QUBCU
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
In what can only be described as one of the more interesting drama performances that the SU will host this year, the CU performed a re-enactment of the Gospel of Mark in the SU snack bar as part of their build-up towards Easter. To a packed audience, the band of just over a dozen performers (the majority with no experience of acting before) put on a sterling performance which played out without a hitch.

NEWS: Israeli Ambassador visits Queen’s
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Ron Prosor, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, visited Queen’s University today. The visit was not advertised by the University. Prosor made a low-key entrance, shaking Pro-Vice Chancellor Tony Gallagher’s hand before entering the Lanyon Building. There was a noticeable presence of police and security guards following the disturbances during Solon Solomon’s visit in February.

REVIEW: Source Code
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Source Code is the new film from Duncan Jones, who made his excellent debut two years ago with the powerful Moon. What Duncan Jones managed to do so well with his debut was to make a science fiction film that went back to the roots of the genre, delivering a film in which the futuristic setting is only another means of developing the film’s one character. In this way, the film recalls Andrei Tarkovsky’s masterful Solaris, rather than the dull explosions-in-space and battling-robots films into which the genre descended. With Source Code, Jones continues to bring back the adult sci-fi film, recalling here Terry Gilliam’s bleak masterpiece Twelve Monkeys.
