Bound

The Wachowski brothers have drawn obvious comparisons with the Coen brothers. Both sets of brothers co-write and co-direct and they both are responsible for some of the best film noirs of the past few years. If anything Bound is a better debut feature than Blood Simple was in 1983. It

Marsh Light - Kate Hatfield

This novel describes the lives of Helena, a thirty-something antique restorer and her family. We see the needlessly antagonistic relationship between her father and stepmother and the other intense emotions of loved ones as they interrelate. Helena and her almost pathetic (but ultimately understandable) neuroses are the focal point of

Death In Vegas - Dead Elvis

Let me get straight to the point here - this album is not what I expected at all. The only exposure to this band that I had before this album was their last single ‘Rocco’ which was enough to initiate the line of thinking that this would be a hard-edged

Elections Analysis

The most outstanding feature of this year’s sabbatical elections was the 40% increase in turnout over the 1996 results. Almost four hundred extra South Kensington students voted, marginalising the St Mary’s vote, which stayed static at just under three hundred, from one third to one quarter of the

Jerry Maguire

It may sound like another Hollywood film about the IRA but it is in fact a romantic comedy about the sleazy world of sports promotion. Tom Cruise plays the title character, a sports agent (a sort of American Eric Hall only rather more appealing and without the cigar) who has

Football fourths’ title charge

After going a goal down as early as the second minute, ICFC fourths dominated the game. Although only one-all at half-time we should have been leading and the reasons for this were bad misses by Pete, Darren and Morgan. Darren came good in the second half, completing his hat-trick, and

18 Wheeler - Year Zero

18 Wheeler’s newly-released effort is a sharp contrast to their previously-released dull trad indie efforts. Presumably the intention was to fuse exciting dubby beats and the best of electronic effects with their usual guitar pop, much the same as their Creation stable-mates The Boo Radleys did in their spectacular

IC Gliding Club

Imperial College Gliding Club have achieved a first - for the first time in the club’s 67 year history not one, but two of its members have been selected to represent Great Britain in the 6 man British Junior Gliding Team. They will compete against teams from 15 other

Weekly Poem: London Bridge to Waterloo (East)

For pride of place in the pile That lives upon an ocean Of floating finance food For business suited sharks. Money grows on trees In these 1990’s parks. The past is on my side, Coronation Street chimneys rising, Brown bricked buildings falling down Like London Bridge, but hiding In

IC football in not crap shock

Yet again the conditions were against IC, playing away to league leaders LSE in the usual windy conditions. The weather made it difficult to slip into the slick passing style that we have so successfully copied from the second team. The first half was tending to a draw until five
