So you know what’s really annoying? Paying £3000 a year and getting nothing for it. Yes, I’m talking about my degree. Casual Monday, one might think. Not for me. Twas essay hand-in-Monday. I was in the library computer suite, checking said essay, close to printing. Then BOOM! Ostentatious man walks in declaring, pretty much on [...]
On a Quest
I thought I’d write a little about myself and what I… do, basically. So I’m on a quest right now, not the physical kind, well at least not the physical kind you’re probably thinking of. Have you heard of this one: make 1000 origami cranes so you can make a wish. That’s my quest. Yup, [...]

30 Minutes or Less

Friends With Benefits
Hilarious. You know what this film is gonna be about: two friends Jamie (Mila Kunis) and Dylan (Justin Timberlake) become friends with benefits, but things don’t turn out how they exactly planned. Mila Kunis is delightful and funny. Justin Timberlake does a really good job too. Director Will Gluck works with a great, quick and [...]
Troll Hunter
“Well you didn’t expect squirrels to rampage through that, did you?” This Norwegian film, directed by Andre Ovredal, is quite surprisingly entertaining. Three students investigate strange bear killings and end up following, yes you guessed it: a troll hunter. I was sceptical of watching this at first but after seeing the trailer I thought I’d [...]
