Your Brother, Remember? – Project Arts Centre – Review
Movies – 12-10-12 – Ruby Sparks

Movies – 7-10-12
I’m late with the movies this week, due to my international jet set life style and a 4 year old’s birthday party! Still, enough with the excuses and back to the movies. […]

Looper, looper, looper, looper, looper… this decade’s Matrix, supposedly. I’ve seen the side of too many buses and billboards not to be sucked into the hype around this one, lets hope it […]

Killing them softly looks to be the best of the bunch this week. It’s directed by Andrew Dominik who previously directed Chopper and The Assasination of Jessie James, so someone I should […]
Beautiful short film: Of Steel
I’ve always loved the art of bike building. Dario Pegoretti is an Italian bicycle framebuilder based in Caldonazzo. Watch this short film about his company Pegoretti Cicli and I promise you will be utterly inspired no matter if you […]

Darklight Festival 2012 – Preview
The Darklight festival is one I’ve largely ignored, and i can’t really put a finger on why! It should be right up my alley, but I’ve only gone to a handful of […]
Samsara
Baraka is one of those movies that really captured my imagination. The right movie at the right time, I guess. Dazzling cinematography with a great sound track of music by Dead can […]
Movies – 17-08-12 – Stranger than Fiction – Documentary Season
This worked out nicely, as there’s next to nothing of any quality released this week so I can focus on the Documentaries! Sly and his crew of older action heroes are back […]

Things to do in Dublin – 23rd to 29th July
Yeah, Batman didn’t really happen for me, I’m afraid to say. Maybe there was just too much hype, but let us never mention it again. So what’s new in Dublin this week […]
