NEWS: QUB beats Oxbridge but behind UU in Green League

 

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

 

The People and Planet Green League have placed Queen’s University Belfast in 53rd position amongst UK universities, with a score of 33 out of 70 for their environmental management and performance.  Although Queen’s has placed similarly as in academic university guides, Oxford and Cambridge score much lower, coming in 103rd and 68th respectively.  In contrast, University of Ulster is in the top 20, placing 19th with a score of 41.5 and receiving a first class award.

REVIEW: Green Lantern

 

Friday, June 17th, 2011

 

 

Similar to Marvel’s ‘Thor’, released a couple of months ago, DC’s ‘Green Lantern’ isn’t exactly the easiest comic book property to adapt for the big screen. Having endured since 1940, the character is probably considered, in the shadow of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, to be the biggest alternative to DC’s holy trinity. Having successfully rebooted James Bond back in 2006 with the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, it was Martin Campbell’s task to bring the star trekking superhero to life for mainstream audiences. The results were unfortunately mixed at best.

REVIEW: The Beaver

 

Friday, June 17th, 2011

 

 

Mel Gibson plus hand puppet… and this is meant to be his great return since he went biblical.  That’s right, the man who decided that he never again wanted to use film as a means of just making money, he wanted to get his message across.  Never mind the huge money making successes that ‘The Passion of the Christ’ and ‘Apocalypto’ were, he’s returned to being in front of the camera and firmly positioned himself in centre stage with his new role.

OPINION: Corporation Tax: Time for Northern Ireland Uncut

 

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

 

On May 28th, activists protested across the UK against the dismantling of the National Health Service, and, more broadly, against cuts to public spending, the unfairness of which I don’t have to go into here.

REVIEW: 13 Assassins

 

Monday, June 13th, 2011

 

Picture the re-imagining of an old fashioned samurai film by one of the best directors in Japanese cinema to date.  Director Takashi Miike is best known for his hyper violent films ‘Audition’, ‘Three Extremes’ and of course ‘Ichi the Killer’.  Constantly behind the camera working on projects, Miike is one of the most famous and productive directors in modern Japanese cinema, yet most of his work goes unseen by audiences outside of East Asia.  It’s a crying shame that only his most violent work makes its way across the globe and seeing as we Westerns haven’t heard his name mentioned since 2004, it’s about time he hit it big with his take on the classic samurai feature.

OPINION: FIFA – The Only Way is Ethics

 

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

 

What is a crisis? Perhaps it is a time of great difficulty or a period of instability. The definition of what actually constitutes ‘a crisis’ is open to interpretation and often context-dependent. However, what is certain is that the corruption scandal that has hit FIFA has left this all-powerful organisation in the midst of a major crisis.

REVIEW: Julia’s Eyes

 

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

 

‘Julia’s Eyes’ is the second Spanish horror film to come with the ‘Presented By’ label from Guillermo del Toro, following the huge success of fantastic gothic chiller ‘The Orphanage’, which also starred Belén Rueda. ‘Julia’s Eyes’ is a suspense-thriller with something that many recent horror films don’t have: characters.
