FEATURES: 2011 in film
Monday, January 2nd, 2012
2011 can be considered a good year in film, if you take a view that makes a few glaring omissions. While Hollywood stumbles on with its incessant remakes, reboots, re-imaginings, sequels, prequels, threequels and adaptations vibrant and vital filmmaking continues to come from other avenues.

REVIEW: The Darkness
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
Noticing the increase of leopard prints and spandex around the Ulster Hall on 4 December you’d have been forgiven for thinking that the Louie Spence fan club had rolled into town.

REVIEW: One Direction- Up all Night
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
One Direction’s Up All Night is the best comedy album of 2011, hands down. It is full of wonderful irony, word-play and satire. For a start, the band name is clearly a pun on ‘One Dimension’, which is exactly how many dimensions there are to their music. Clever boys.

Remember back in the day when CDs were a new concept and cassette tapes were not classed as museum artefacts? Remember the general excitement surrounding the release of a new edition to the ‘Now’ series?
