Make Me A Sammich

There are many ways in which one can enjoy a sandwich, from the humble spread of just butter, or to an exuberant twenty layer delicacy. The options you have for your sandwich fillings are endless. Sweet, savour there’s no prescription on flavour.

So I present to you,

Bookmark Cafè Steak Sandwich:



Made with quality rump steak, cheese, a generous helping of lettuce, onion, tomatoes, carrots and finally wrapped in crusty butter grilled toast, this steak sandwich will please the hungriest of eaters.
With a nice drizzle of barbeque sauce and mayonnaise, the flavours are quite hearty and thus results in such a manly sandwich.

For $6.40 at the Bookmark (Curtin Campus), this steak sandwich tastes as good as it looks.

V^3 gives this steak sandwich 4/5.

V^3 Review of Warheads

What do you get when you mix sugar, corn glucose syrup, acid (296, 330), antioxidant (300), colours (133, 129, 102) with black cherry, lemon, apple, watermelon and blue raspberry flavouring?

I'll tell you what you get. An evil candy which strikes fear into unknowing victims that have felt its wrath.

This sinister hard candy will make even the most sour enthusiasts cringe their lips. If you were looking for a fun and innocent candy to suit a nice family day out, do not choose this. Known to man; only as "Warheads", this was a childhood favourite of mine because I as a child, trained my taste-buds to feel no pain.

Entering into adulthood, I decided to see whether or not I still had what it took to endure what this candy had to offer.

As the packet states, it has a sour rating of "Extreme", and thus it is not a force to be reckoned with.

The following flavours are:
Black Cherry - an amalgamation of cherry, black and stupid sour make this flavour enjoyable.
Lemon - the citrus bang fused with a nuclear lemon seed are the only words that can be used to describe this flavour.
Apple - the most sinister of flavours, can only be described as being a blend of green apples and lemon juice, minus the lemon.
Watermelon - among weaker of flavours captures the true essence of the watermelon fruit whilst giving you spine tingling sourness.
Blue Raspberry - my least favourite of the group. Though tasty, it lacks oomph which makes the candy taste generic.

Sure this candy is more of a novelty than a real candy, and that the novelty does wear off. However, if you're up for trying something new, give these babies a shot. Overall, they are quite enjoyable, though my only criticism would be that the sourness did not last long enough.

V^3 gives Warheads 3/5.

V^3 Spiderman 3 review

With the hit Spiderman 3 showing in the cinemas, I thought I'd share my opinions on the movie.



Well, what can I say? Spiderman is an emo. Many of you are probably yelling and hitting your screens in angst. I feel your pain, but it's alright, don't fret. Spiderman is still as badass as ever.

Okay, the words "action" and "emo" probably don't go together too well in most people's minds. And to be honest, I agree. This is where the movie shines. It has been directed in a more comedic manner, which eases the unfathomable fact that Peter Parker; nerd by day, kick-ass mofo by night did in some point of his life, turn emo.

To make something clear, emos aren't that bad. I may disagree with their dress sense, music tastes, their anti-social nature, but yeah, to each his own.



His emo-ness aside, Spiderman's black attire was freaking awesome. By adding a new sleek dimension to his already sleek 2006 look, he somehow became more kick-ass than before.

Talking about black suits, the way Venom was portrayed was somewhat disappointing. Throughout the comics and cartoons, Venom was always stupidly buff, scary looking and 2.5 times the size of spiderman. In the movie however, he was about half the size of spiderman.

The action scenes were intensely awesome. With enough back flips, front flips and side flips, this movie will make even the most avid gymnasts and trapeze artists smile. The amount of explosions and people flying around was also impressive for a 90 minute time-span.

In conclusion, with 23% more web-slinging action, 68% better action scenes and 90% blacker than the previous Spiderman offerings, this movie is bound to please most.

V^3 rates Spiderman 4/5
