Film Review: Beyond Clueless
Courtesy of Abbeygate Cinema, Deputy Editor Molly Stacey reviews the teen movie about teen movies: Charlie Lyne’s Beyond Clueless. In the decade that passed between the plaid-clad debut of Cher Horowitz in Clueless, and the death-by-bus decimation of the Junior Plastics in the final scenes of Tina Fey’s Mean Girls, Hollywood seemed to be an infinite cache of red cups, bitchy cliques, sexual awakenings and Freddie … Continue reading Film Review: Beyond Clueless
Film Review: The Theory of Everything
Courtesy of Abbeygate Cinema, Editor Tony Diver reviews The Theory of Everything. In many ways, The Theory of Everything is a misleading title for the biopic of Stephen Hawking. Not least because his theory, which primarily concerns itself with the nature of black holes and ‘space-time singularities’, is not about ‘everything’. Academically, the film tracks Hawking’s study of cosmology – starting with his PhD thesis … Continue reading Film Review: The Theory of Everything

I don’t like pickles or olives. But that’s none of your business.
I don’t really like pickles or olives. Honestly, when I bit into one for the first time, I gagged. The taste was horrendous. It still happens. I can’t help it. No matter how hard I try, I just hate the taste. I prefer spaghetti to curry. Curry just doesn’t sit with me right, but I can eat it. I choose not to, because I prefer other … Continue reading I don’t like pickles or olives. But that’s none of your business.
Jesus Christ SuperStar at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds
Jesus Christ SuperStar at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds Performed by the Irving Stage Company Tuesday 4th November – Saturday 8th November The Gospels are not the most obvious choice to adapt into a stage musical, least of all a rock opera.

Editor’s Pick: I Forget Where We Were // Ben Howard
It is evident from the very beginning of this album that Ben Howard has made some significant changes in his approach to music. The first track, Small Things, offers a haunting insight into the troubled mind of the artist, accompanied by discordant guitar and an introduction to the new experimental-electronic side to Howard. The listener welcomes the familiar guitar picking of Howard from the start, … Continue reading Editor’s Pick: I Forget Where We Were // Ben Howard
Who (or what) will fly your plane in 2025?
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” – Leonardo Da Vinci, but for how long will pilots be experiencing actual flight? Flying: the quickest route of transport (except for perhaps a rocket), and not the best one for getting to school. But instead of having a … Continue reading Who (or what) will fly your plane in 2025?
Film Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
You’re all familiar with Michael Bay produced films by now. You know what to expect: gratuitous cleavage shots, unnecessary explosions, poor writing and a huge budget. I would define Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as the logical conclusion to all that is Michael Bay. This film is not merely terrible, for that is too kind a word to use to describe it; I found myself being … Continue reading Film Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Editor’s Pick: LP1 // FKA Twigs
It is difficult to think of any music prior to FKA Twigs’ own that is in any way comparable. Although Tahliah Debrett Barnett began her career as a backing dancer for many mainstream vocalists, Ed Sheeran and Jessie J to name two, no obvious influence is present in her own work. It seems as though Twigs has a consistent one-track-mind attitude throughout this album, focusing … Continue reading Editor’s Pick: LP1 // FKA Twigs
