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. Hair spray, eye liner and tight pants were in abundance. And then there was the girls. But no, Brit glam-rockers The Darkness were here for the final date of their UK reunion tour, the “Every Inch of UK (and Ireland) Tour.”

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.

Review: Now That’s What I Call Music! 80

 

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

 

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?
