Burton’s Alice in Wonderland promises to be a “mad” success

It took me two days to be able to sit down and enjoy Tim Burton’s latest foray into the world of weird: Alice in Wonderland. The sold-out show obviously appealed to two different types of viewers: avid fans of Disney’s classic, as well as Burton followers clad in Nightmare Before Christmas tees. A fan of the Burton/Depp partnership, I sat down expecting good things. And I got them. I have always been a fan of a Burton set. From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory MORE

The Best Practical Facebook Apps

We’ve done the best Facebook games, but how about applications that bring some practicality to life’s needs? Not all of us have time for tomfoolery!

The famous rocker first emerged on stage in a white robe and walked towards three dancers suspended above. She then sunk into a white sheet and was lifted high into the air spinning in circles as she continued to sing. The audience was on their feet, staring up in amazement after she was plunged into water and swung with only one leg. To put it simply, it was breathtaking – I’d never seen a performance... MORE

Our Favourite Facebook Games

We humans get bored quickly these days. That’s why Facebook is ever-evolving with gaming applications to keep our buzzing minds eternally entertained. However, the selection is endless and that can seem daunting because of the clutter games add to your wall with achievements and notifications. So before you play, go to account, application settings, edit settings, then additional permissions. There, you can unclick “Publish recent activity (one line stories) on my wall.” After that you can get clicking! Here are some of our favourites: • Farmville. By now you’ve surely been notified of a friend who adopted a black sheep or is newly harvesting a crop. That’s because Farmville is the most... MORE
