REVIEW: A Prophet
Monday, February 1st, 2010
‘A Prophet’ is the first crime thriller of 2010 and it’s already been deemed superior to the likes of ‘Mesrine’ and ‘Public Enemies’, films that raised the bar in the genre in 2009. If you thought things couldn’t get any better, then prepare to be shaken-up by Audiard’s explosive insight into the French prison system. At the tender age of 19 Malik is sentenced to 6years for police violence. We follow him as he finds himself entering the strange and highly developed world of the professional criminal.

REVIEW: Disgrace
Monday, February 1st, 2010
There’s only so cheerful a film about post-apartheid South Africa can be, a sort of ‘joy quota’. With that in mind comes Disgrace , an adaptation of Coatzee’s novel of the same name, offering the very best in bleak tragedy.

SPORT: Terrorism at African Nations Cup – What does this mean for the World Cup?
Monday, February 1st, 2010
December saw the draw of the group stages for this summer’s World Cup finals, the first time they will be played on African soil. At the ceremony, the world watched as Nelson Mandela – a man who dedicated his life to improving rights and bringing relative peace to the South African nation – described his joy; at last the world will witness just how far Africa has come.

REVIEW: Crude
Monday, February 1st, 2010
Crude is an impressively involving exposé documentary about the injustices that the oil drilling giants Texaco have enforced upon the native dwellers of Ecuador along the Amazonian River. This is protest cinema at its best. This highly effective portrayal of the terribly wronged indigenous tribes of Ecuador follows their trail in the courts as they try to claim back their basic human rights that the US corporate group Chevron took away from them.

REVIEW: Peter Doherty in Mandela Hall
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Peter Doherty arrived for his gig at the Mandela Hall three months after he was originally set to play the venue with enough time passed for the audience to have listened to and digested his excellent solo album Grace/Wastelands. An album designed to present Doherty as a solo artist, distinct from his current act Babyshambles (and explaining the move from “Pete” to “Peter”), the accompanying tour similarly had Doherty as (except for one instance of an accompanying harmonica) the sole musician on stage. This, combined with the relatively confined surroundings of Mandela Hall, suggested the possibility of an intimate atmosphere.
