NEWS: “Tough but fair” – Emergency budget 2010
Monday, June 28th, 2010
The 2010 UK budget was delivered by Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, to the House of Commons on Tuesday 22nd June 2010. It has been dubbed the ‘emergency budget’ as it aims to reduce the colossal national debt accumulated by the Labour Government. This is the first budget to come from the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition which was formed after the general election in May of this year.

REVIEW: Linebacker Dirge – Low self-esteem engine
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Genres of music come and go with the passing of time, and as such, people are always striving to find the next sound, whether it is via experimentation, a carefully captured moment of inspiration, or the union of different genres. In this case, Linebacker Dirge takes the bold, ill-advised move of merging folk rock with angst-ridden emo, creating ‘Low Self Esteem Engine’: the sound of someone obstinately forcing a square peg into a round hole, producing disastrous results.

NEWS: QUBSU Entertainments Manager Rod Martin resigns
Monday, June 7th, 2010
Rod Martin resigned as Entertainments Manager of the Union on Friday. This follows a year where targets for club nights have been missed by a considerable amount. On Saturday Shine was forced to move to the Stiff Kitten as only three hundred tickets were sold. This was not enough to fill the Mandela Hall even if parts had been cordoned off. Union Director Andrew Dodge said that this was because of the recession and stated that attendance at events this year had been “atrocious” due to a “lack of cash”.

ARTS: Pop down to PS2 for some flowery creativity
Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Accidents make for the best discoveries. On my way to an exhibition at the Belfast Printworkshop that has a friend’s prints on display, I was unable to find a parking space and so turned up late. Unfortunately everyone had left. They were to be found standing outside PS2, a gallery on Donegall Street. Inside, the gallery was packed to the rafters with flowers and people concentrating hard on the plants in front of them, drawing, painting, taking photos, making videos and creating sculptures.

COMMENT: Israel’s flotilla fatalities
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
On Monday the Israeli Defence Force attacked a flotilla of ships headed for Gaza resulting in the deaths of nine people and the injury of many others. The flotilla was carrying aid for Palestinians in Gaza who live under an illegal blockade that only allows one fifth of the supplies necessary through. While the flotillas mission was ostensibly to deliver this aid, a more political end was clearly intended, and that was to break the blockade.

REVIEW: Robin Hood
Saturday, May 29th, 2010
The latest adaption of the infamous rouge that roamed Sherwood Forest reaches our screens in the shape of a Ridley Scott ideal. Ridley Scott as we all know, means lots of action sequences, manly speeches and poorly pieced together narratives, so expect no more from this hopeful blockbuster.

REVIEW: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Friday, May 28th, 2010
The latest Bruckheimer production sees the uneasy transformation of a well loved console game to a hopeful silver screen blockbuster. It’s hard to see how this film could be the success that so many others of the same thematic conversion have failed to break even on, but believe me when I say it’s from another mindset to those familiars. Disney have yet again managed to draw up the perfect entertainment package, including unusually good lead actors and a decent attempt to mimic the source of the production.
