The picture below is disturbing on a number of levels. The Dark Knight’s greatest adversary and some say the greatest comic book villain (I am firmly entrenched in the Lex Luthor camp though) makes his pictorial debut and no doubt will have fanboys and movie fans alike wondering where the follow up to Batman Begins [...]

Late Sunday evening flicking through music channels, I felt a joy not experienced since Christmas when I heard, or in this case saw, Paul McCartney’s ‘Frog Chorus’ on VH1. You cannot imagine my disgust that the video was being played as part of a countdown of the Worst Songs of All Time, and then my [...]

To put words to the story of this film is a flawed exercise. It is an examination that arches over many peoples dealings with the case, with a staggered structure opening with an ‘All the Presidents Men’ type partnership blossoming, (Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jnr.) only for a pair of detectives (the oddly cast but [...]

Fine Gael has started to campaign for the ‘release’ of the Fianna Fáil Two - Ministers Dick Roche and Martin Cullen - who it says have been banned from the airwaves because focus group research shows they are unpopular. Certainly they are of a breed of politician that ooze incompetence and haven’t progressed their political [...]

The PDs, Labour, Greens and Sinn Fein will take part in a televised debate tonight on PrimeTime (RTE 1, 9.30).

So RTE have moved to spare us deciding between the culmination to a 10 year saga, filled with interesting and shady characters, corrupt dealings and cover ups, lead by a colourful, dangerous and yet somehow very appealing patriarch and on the other channel, the final episodes of ‘The Sopranos’.

Some sort of pseudo-witty play on the [...]
