Be Reel Quick…

Before it disappears from the silver screen, take a look at this…
A Slight Chiller
By Laura Nunez — October 28, 2003
In a word, Cabin Fever is weird. It’s not quite your usual teen horror – but then it’s not quite anything else either. Five American teenagers, Jeff, Paul, Marcy, Karen and Bert, rent a cabin in the woods after graduation, and it looks like a typical week of beer and sex. Soon after they arrive [...]
The Matrix Reloaded DVD
By Joe Pywell — October 28, 2003
For those of you that have been part of a Southern American rain forest tribe which has only just recently come into contact with the rest of civilisation, the Matrix Reloaded is the second installment of the Matrix Trilogy, and if you haven’t seen the first installment quite frankly you deserve to have twenty-first century [...]
A League of Ordinary Franchises
By Laura Nunez — October 28, 2003
I’ll be honest: I went to watch this film not expecting to like it. I thought the premise was an intriguing one – a group of 19th century literary heroes brought together in the name of ‘the Empire’ to fight an evil known as the Phantom, who is intent on bringing war to the world. [...]
Size Really Matters…
By Alex Newhouse — October 28, 2003
Considering the extremely long time since Tarantino directed last, it was always going to be interesting to see what he was going to do next. How, if at all, his techniques and choice of material has changed. As was assumed by most of the civilised world that has heard of the man, it was going [...]

Got Freshers’ Flu? Need help in creating your own healthy world? Sebastian Knox explores the benefits and satisfaction of juicing your own fruits.
Elegantly Wasted
By James Redgrave — October 28, 2003
Last issue we established James was a bit of a twat, this issue he expands on this theme in a rather trite and unimaginative way. Lets be honest, it’s verbosity over clarity….
Positively Orgasmic!
By Hannah Dehaan — October 28, 2003
Who’d have thought a swanky new bar in York could Hannah Dehaan to the brink of ecstacy?
Brunchie
By Dan Phillips — October 28, 2003
Perhaps the single biggest advance in modern bakery technology since bread became sliced, the Brunchie is the take away answer to the English breakfast. Within the confines of its pastried walls are a bacon rasher, one sausage, a fried egg and at least threee beans, which have a tendency to escape. Eating the Brunchie can [...]
Cereal, Yogurt and Juice
By Sam Southgate — October 28, 2003
Theres nothing particularly special about frosties and a yogurt, or so you would think, but if, like normal students you struggle to get your ass to Vanbrugh before 10:30am then you practically have to beg, borrow and steal to get hold of some delicious flakes of corn. For the price the box contains deceptively little [...]
Veggie Option
By Ben Crawley — October 28, 2003
As you might not be able to stomach a full greasy breakfast after a heavy night in Ziggy’s, or you might be on some kind of misguided health-kick we decided to investigate a less greasy (but still slightly naughty) vegetarian alternative. Not much healthier but it certainly is heartier, the toast is made to order [...]
Campus Breakfasts
By Ben Crawley — October 28, 2003
Confronted with big trays of sausages and bacon I got stuck in, complimenting them with a calorie fest of fried bread fried tomato and egg. It feels dirty and wrong to eat such greasy food in the over-sanitised new amenities centre, and the taste of my meal did litte to reduce my unease. The over-ripe [...]
The Evil Eye
By Lauren Carter — October 28, 2003
Local bars will be rubbing their hands with glee this month as the student drought comes to an end and York University resumes for the autumn term. Freshers and old-timers alike have already been hitting the city looking for a suitable venue to drink away their student loans. The Evil Eye on Stonegate is one [...]
The Willow
By James Gallagher — October 28, 2003
My return to university accommodation this year forced me to reacclimate to "The Baby Belling". Having become bored with that inevitable rare combination of a cremated exterior with a delicate raw centre, I found myself guiding a host of freshers to the Willow; an all-you-can-eat Chinese. Located upstairs at 37 Coney Street you find yourself [...]
