Film: Alice in Wonderland
Starring: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham- Carter
Director: Tim Burton
Rating: *** 1/2
Fans of Lewis Carroll’s The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland will be disappointed; Tim Burton’s Alice is hardly recognisable from the ones who have gone before. Sure, there is a cake that makes Alice taller, a drink that makes Alice smaller and most of the much-loved characters remain (although I did notice the absence of my favourites, the Mock Turtle and the Duchess with her pig baby.)

Jo Isaac

My name is Jo Isaac, I’m a lower 6th student at Peter Symonds studying Spanish, photography, and psychology. I’m loving Symonds and all my subjects but I have no idea what I want to do afterwards. I’m interested in other cultures and went travelling for five months after year 11 which was fantastic and I really want to do it again. I’m interested in comedy, music (especially The Beatles) and films. I love live comedy, music and theatre. I enjoy writing and am looking forward to writing for this magazine, although I’m not sure how it will work out as I have never written for one before. I don’t have anything else to say… but I hope you can enjoy my writing.
Nowhere Boy: The life of a legend

Review by Jo Isaac
Film: Nowhere Boy
Starring: Aaron Johnson, Anne-Marie Duff, Kristin Scott Thomas.
Director: Sam Taylor-Wood
Rating: *****
As a major Beatles and John Lennon fan I was excited but a little apprehensive about the new film ‘Nowhere Boy’. The film documents around two of Lennon’s teenage years, and anyone who knows his story will be aware that it is a sad and sensitive tale that must be treated with great care by a film maker.

This article has been a long time coming, but after the long-awaited Tenth Doctor’s dramatic regeneration on New Year’s Day 2010, we can reflect on Tennant’s time as the famous timelord. Was he really the best doctor yet? Could he beat the other highly ranked doctors? Read the rest of this entry »

The Love Magazine cover
By Esther Privett
Love Magazine is the British bi-annual magazine launched at the beginning of last year. Its first cover was controversial for a fashion magazine; it pictured the Gossip singer, Beth Ditto, naked. Katie Grand, the editor, obviously wanted to make a statement. And for this month’s issue she has done it again. Read the rest of this entry »
