REVIEW: Kaboom
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011
‘Kaboom’ is the tenth feature film from fiercely unconventional filmmaker Gregg Araki. Being involved in the New Queer Cinema movement, his films defy categorization just as his characters defy rigid sexual identities. However, the film merely adds credence to the idea that American cinema cannot be arty without being mind-numbingly irritating and completely devoid of meaning.BY MATTHEW MCKERNAN (more…)

REVIEW: Boyce Avenue – Mandela Hall
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011
We all know that story of the small town band that gets noticed on YouTube and makes it big. Boyce Avenue are the latest band in this trend. However, they are not just another name to add to the ever-expanding list! The band deliver fresh acoustic sound and songs with real sentimental meaning. They embody what all music should be in this time of dance and techno takeover!

REVIEW: Cedric Has a Name – What We Want + 3 Songs EP
Monday, May 30th, 2011
Cedric Has a Name also answers to Chris Steenson, a Belfast-based singer/songwriter who has cut his gigging teeth alongside the likes of Junior Johnson and Ian McHugh of A Plastic Rose. His first EP, ‘What We Want + 3 Songs’ is a melodic blend of indie, slowcore and lo-fi sensibilities that are perfect for those times in life when we just don’t know what it is we want, or what we have seems to be slipping away. Or, if you’re a bit more mundane, it’s a typical cut of classic rainy day shoe gazing soulfulness.

ARTS: The Hangover part II
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
‘The Hangover Part II’ is the inevitable sequel to a film which proved that comedies that were unfunny, unlikeable and thoroughly boring, could be both commercial and critical hits. This one proves that they can have equally unfunny, unlikeable and thoroughly boring sequels.

FEATURE: Eurovision gets the X-Factor
Saturday, May 14th, 2011
After working through the first Eurovision semi-final, the second clearly allowed for a well deserved break. Essays are due (impending doom), but Jedward and ice cream are too hard to resist. Glee is clearly a big influence this year, the best act being Estonia with the Rachel Berry-esque girl singing about going to Rockefeller Street. There is no Rockefeller Street, in case you were wondering, but that is irrelevant for the voters of Eurovision.BY EMMA GALLEN (more…)
