Heartbreak High Season 2 Review: Returning For a Second Term at Hartley High 

Heartbreak High returned for its second season on Netflix last month, continuing to entertain audiences with its amusing (and often ridiculously outlandish) portrayal of Australian teenagers. Building upon the success of its debut season, season two delves deeper into the lives of the students and teachers of Hartley High School, navigating the highs and lows of adolescence with humour and relatability.   The show continues to … Continue reading Heartbreak High Season 2 Review: Returning For a Second Term at Hartley High

Review: Napoleon (2023)

Napoleon was a celebrity in his own time; a commander, an emperor, a brute. More recently, he has been popularised in film and TV; from an angry side-antagonist in Night at the Museum 2, to the ever-iconic ABBA song ‘Waterloo’ which takes its name from the location of his final defeat. With that in mind, the announcement that Ridley Scott (director of Gladiator and The … Continue reading Review: Napoleon (2023)

Marketing Musicals

Coming out of the cinema after seeing Wonka, I was pleasantly surprised with the extravagant musical numbers throughout, despite how much the trailer wanted to conceal that it was in fact a musical. Although the plot made little sense, I came out thinking that perhaps Timothée Chalamet’s side as a ‘theatre kid’ and the flashy musical numbers made me enjoy the prequel (that nobody really … Continue reading Marketing Musicals

Sex on Screen

As part of SHAG week, RAZZ writer Lulu Bullman explores the depiction of sex on the big screen. Sex on screen can either set hearts racing or cause feelings of embarrassment and unease – especially if you find yourself in that awkward situation, watching a programme with the rest of your family, sitting in stone cold silence as you view a scene that no one … Continue reading Sex on Screen

Meat Free, Taste Free?

It however, it still much harder to be a vegetarian or vegan with so many places being dominated with meaty … Continue reading Meat Free, Taste Free?

Proofreading, It’s harder than it looks!

Proofreading is usually mind-numbingly dull, and it can seem utterly pointless, but by leaving yourself time to go over your work you can almost always make significant improvements to it. The problem is that it’s harder than it looks. Many people find themselves rushing through the process minutes before a deadline, whilst others go over their work time and again in a dazed state. Both methods are generally a … Continue reading Proofreading, It’s harder than it looks!

The Place Beyond the Pines

Much like director Derek Cianfrance’s previous work, Blue Valentine, I would hazard to suggest that The Place Beyond the Pines is a film that has unfortunately gone unnoticed by many viewers. Those who did see it will know that it is a film with many elements at work; the surface excitement of bank robberies and motorcycle chases are balanced out by complex relationships and hard moral decisions. While the … Continue reading The Place Beyond the Pines
