As 2018 draws gently to a close and ‘Best of 2018’ lists are published across the country, we at the University Express thought that we would get in on the action. We asked our editors, contributors, and photographers and our friends at Motley Magazine to give us their own personal highlights of the year that…

Big Moments 2018: The #MeToo movement, although it started in 2017, defined the music and television industry in 2018. What started as a twitter hashtag grew to become the rallying cry for thousands, if not millions of people who had suffered sexual abuse or harassment at the hands of a person in a position of…
You know the type. RTE are unable to afford many new movies for Christmas, especially as nobody really watches TV anymore, so instead they wheel out the same few movies that spend most of the year gathering dust in a cupboard somewhere. The Home Alone films spring to mind, that Father Ted Christmas Episode is…
If you decided to ignore my tirade against Netflix at Christmas, there is plenty of fare, both festive and not so festive, that will be winging its way to the streaming service this Christmas. The Christmas Chronicles (22/11/18): Kurt Russell, in my opinion, should always have a beard. In this festive story of two children…

Nothing brought me more excitement than to wake up at about 4am on Christmas morning and irritate my parents until they agreed to get up and humour my festive abandon.

I remember staying up to watch the season 7 premiere with almost the same excitement that I feel for Game of Thrones.

If the draw of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost isn’t enough, then you’ll also be able to enjoy Michael Sheen (at his unctuous best), as well…
Slasher movies exist in somewhat of a niche, I feel. You either love them or loathe them. You don’t casually go to see a slasher cos it’s the best thing that’s on in the cinema that week. Or maybe you do, but personally I find it a bit odd if your first port of call…
New in Cinema: For the season that’s in it, it wouldn’t be right not to talk about the new Halloween film. Jamie Lee Curtis returns and is out for revenge on the newly escaped Michael Myers. Expect brutal deaths and jump-scares aplenty. Next week will see the limited release of Bohemian Rhapsody the Freddie Mercury…
