2008 has been a bumper year for movie blockbusters, but with the year drawing to a close what movies can we expect to transform the (presumably) rainy summer of 2009?
This week, we bring you news from the sequel to student favourite (and total head-spinner) Donnie Darko.
Plot details are sparse, but we do know that S. Darko follows Donnie’s sister Samantha seven years after his death on a road trip with friend Corey in 1994.
On the way to Hollywood they are plagued by strange visions…and that’s all we know.
At least the cast list is more detailed - it reads like a Who’s Who of American sitcom stars with actors from Gossip Girl, Saved By the Bell and One Tree Hill making appearances.
Fans of Donnie Darko may be disappointed to hear that it’s writer and director, Richard Kelly, has nothing to do with the sequel. However Chris Fisher, director of S. Darko hopes to “create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality”.
Hmm. We’ll see.
Release date: July 10th, 2009

Most of us at studentbeans.c
om are avid watchers of the X-Factor, so we were very interested to hear the latest gossip: Ofcom is investigating claims that fans of Laura White had problems getting through to cast their votes for her.
After receiving a petition of 50,000 signatures, Ofcom launched their investigation lastnight, and will start by requesting the voting figures of last week’s show.
This, however, may prove a bit tricky - an X-Factor spokesperson has made it clear that revealing the voting figures now would “give contestants an unfair advantage and spoil the competition for viewers”.
Will X-Factor release the viewing figures? Will Laura return to the live shows? Will Louis Walsh continue to bring Westlife into every conversation? We’ll just have to wait and see…
The Tesco Value range is a firm student staple - from baked beans to shampoo, it covers pretty much every aspect of the student lifestyle.
And now there’s a new addition to the Tesco Value family - Tesco Value greetings cards*.
Pricing in at 0 pence it’s surely the cheapest thing to be adorned with the famous blue and white stripes.
You can print and download the simple cards (for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s and many others) as and when they are needed.
Granted your mate/girlfriend/mum probably won’t appreciate at the time, but think of all the money you’ll save!
* It’s a joke.

1. Free gifts
Many magazine subscriptions offer free gifts to the first 500 people to take up the offer.
At the minute, National Geographic is giving away a rather fetching fleece (hurry - only 79 left…) but typical gifts include designer beauty products or products related to the topic of the magazine.
2. Something for everyone
There are literally thousands of titles available to suit every friend, family member and random acquaintances (no matter how vague the association).
Whether it’s for your celeb-mad best friend, or gadget-crazy brother you’ll find something that won’t force them into a fake smile of appreciation.
3. Much cheaper
Magazines are usually one of the first luxuries to go when times get hard, but if you buy online you can save significantly on the RRP.
4. It’s the gift that keeps on giving
Why buy a present that runs out in a matter of days? A magazine subscription will last a lot longer than bath salts/wine/toffee.
For magazine subscription offers see studentbeans.com.
The Student Radio Awards 2008 took place last week in a ceremony that celebrates the best of the UK student radio industry.
Nottingham, York, Exeter and Nottingham Trent were among the universities picking up prizes like Best Female and Male Presenters, Best Student Radio Station, Best Interview and Best Live Programming.
To see the full list of award winners, see StudentRadio.org.uk.
1. Release your inner child
Who says toffee apples and sparklers are for kids?
Toffee apples are so easy to make and sparklers go for as little as 30p a packet in Tesco.
Just make sure you cool the sparklers in earth or water before binning them - unless you enjoy the odour of melting bin bags.
2. Go to a free firework event
Every city has a fireworks/bonfire extravaganza of some sort - opt for those and cut out the expense, danger and general nuisance of lighting your own bonfire.
Not only is one less bonfire better for the environment (and hedgehogs), it also means that alcohol isn’t off the menu.
3. Make a toffee apple cocktail
Surprisingly similar to the cocktail recommended in the blog post for Halloween, this lemonade, apple and butterscotch schnapps concoction sounds a bit too sweet - but at least you won’t have toffee in your teeth.
4. Lock-up!
Bonfire night is like Christmas for burglars - make sure you lock up!
With the winter nights getting longer and mornings getting colder, what better reason is there to indulge in some shameless procrastination?
The games section on studentbeans.com is one.
Launching in the next week, it’ll feature a selection of computer games that threaten to put your grades dangerously at risk.
If, however, you prefer your essay-avoiding to at least look productive then cast your eye over the new finance section.
Here you can compare the best student credit card rates, find out everything you need to know about credit and read the best student money saving tips.
Watch this space for news of the launch date!
