Has Ricky Gervais gone too far?

His speeches trigger widespread controversy, but is there a valid indicator to be able to tell that he has gone too far? Has the famed comedian reached a tipping point of no return after his infamous 2020 Golden Globe appearance, wherein ‘throwing shade’ at Hollywood greater resembled a throwing their past back in their face?

A Fistful of Genres: The Buddy Comedy

Partnerships and pairings are essential to cinema – they enable actors to play off one another, allowing for more naturalistic and endearing performances; as the old adage goes, “acting is reacting”. One of the finest and most enjoyable genres to embrace this is the “Buddy” film. Popularised by its off-shoot, the more infamous “Buddy Cop” subgenre, […]

Hollywood Monopolies

After a brush with scandal over some unearthed homophobic tweets, Kevin Hart’s life insurance was looking like it would mature sooner rather than later. Thankfully, it looks like he might have picked up a ‘get out of jail free’ card in the form of his favourite pastime: A crappy movie with a stupid premise. A […]

Don’t you know that you’re toxic?

The casting couch. We’ve all heard the stories confessing the dark truths of Hollywood’s underbelly. From Marilyn Monroe to the child star, Shirley Temple, Hollywood has a long, ugly history with sexual harassment, stemming from an endemic lust for power by those placed in positions of authority. A throwback to the ‘golden-era’ of old Hollywood, […]

The Old Man & the Gun – Review

Few of us get to decide how we will go when our time comes, and even fewer will make such a choice willingly. A lifetime spent on screen sounds like a boastful statement and perhaps not a bad way to have lived, but the movies tend not to let go of the greats without a […]

The Commercialisation of Cinema- is Originality Dead?

If we consider all the films that have come out this year, it seems like whatever wins at the Oscars, studios know they can make a lot of money from something which is ultimately unoriginal.  I know this accusation is thrown around really frequently- usually by bitter middle-aged people on the Internet complaining that their […]

As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell Group universities, we stand united against the Russell Group statement which declared ‘no detriment’ or ‘safety net’ policies not to be ‘appropriate’ or ‘necessary’ for students at this time. 

Having listened to students at our universities, we are calling on the Russell Group to act compassionately and empathetically and to reconsider their stance on ‘no detriment’ politics for assessments this year. 

Students deserve to be listened to.
