Student Services to be Transferred?

Review: Cloud Atlas

Review: Cloud Atlas

Few films that are released these days can be regarded as truly risky, and even the ones that are, often fail critically and commercially by their very nature. However, Cloud Atlas is one of the few examples that succeeds in both areas. Not only is it visually and technically stunning,...
Street Style: Tremough Beards

Why You Should Be Watching Being Human

Why You Should Be Watching Being Human

The fifth and final series of Being Human, BBC Three’s supernatural comedy drama, has just started airing on Sunday nights. If you’ve never watched it before, or worse, never heard of it, can Flex be so bold as to ask where you’ve been hiding since 2009? Though characters have come in and departed...
Gangster Squad Review

Gangster Squad Review

Gangster films set between the 1920s and 1940s are nothing new, but there’s still a desire for the traditional glamour and romanticised violence that they offer. Gangster Squad offers both of these in abundance, but unfortunately suffers from average performances, a shallow story and a severe lack of character development....
Django Unchained

Django Unchained

The best thing about sitting down to watch a new Quentin Tarantino movie is that you are already guaranteed a great story, a great script, and plenty of violence. Django Unchained is no exception. Almost three hours of gun-slinging, horseback, bloody action displays the horrors of the slave trade in...
Review: Life of Pi

Review: Life of Pi

With so many action and adventure films in the cinema at this time of year, it’s nice to find one that provides the film-goer with both those things and then, if you’ll forgive the pun, a boatload more. Life of Pi is more of a journey than an adventure though,...

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Review

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Review

An Unexpected Journey is the first of what is going to be Peter Jackson’s second Middle Earth trilogy. There was a time, back in 2007, when he was set to be the executive producer with Guillermo del Toro in the director’s role. That was back when the story was going...

How are you liking Cornwall so far? And as you are here, what is your favourite pasty filling? I love Cornwall, I haven’t actually played down here for a few years but I used to come down here on holiday as a kid. It’s great, I mean the West Country...

We have followed Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattison) right until the very end. Let’s face it, the only thing we’ve wanted throughout the...
Interview with The Vaccines

Interview with The Vaccines

We at Flex were extremely fortunate enough to get to sit down and chat with two of The Vaccines. The huge four piece band from West London have only been around for two years, but they’ve certainly set the bar. Freddie Cowan and Pete Robertson answered plenty of questions for us,...

FOX Renew 24 After 3 Years

FOX Renew 24 After 3 Years

Fans of TV may remember hit US series 24. It was taken off-air three years ago after 192 episodes, nine years, eight series and one TV movie. Driven by Kiefer Sutherland, his character – Jack Bauer – achieved cult hero status as he saved Los Angeles from countless terrorist atrocities and was much missed when...
The Place Beyond the Pines

The Place Beyond the Pines

Many people have criticised Ryan Gosling for playing the same character from Drive in several films since, and have even gone so far as to call The Place Beyond the Pines (from Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance), “Drive with motorbikes.” And while the first third of the film is similar to Drive, the majority of...
Review: Evil Dead

Review: Evil Dead

The Evil Dead 2013 remake is something I have been looking forward to for a while. Not just because I haven’t seen a genuinely good horror movie since Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 Swedish horror Let The Right One In, but also because Fede Alvarez’ remake of Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic looks set to be the goriest...

Review: Oblivion

Review: Oblivion

This film has received a lot of undue criticism. It’s been slated for being completely unoriginal and ripping off a myriad of other movies, including Moon, Planet of the Apes, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Independence Day, and Wall-E. And while Oblivion is a lot like these films, to judge it as merely a rip off is very unfair, especially in...
