Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

They say range is a wonderful quality; it shows depth and the willingness to adapt, it suggests an open mind and a refusal to be ‘boxed in’. Why didn’t someone tell Ed?

REVIEW: Red Hot Chilli Peppers- I’m With You

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

‘Red Hot’ or Luke Warm? The tenth studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band now entering their fourth decade of music, could hardly be expected to be a decisive one, nor would it be the make or break album of their career, however these indie rock and roll stalwarts ambitions have not weakened over time.

REVIEW:Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is both the tirelessly faithful adaptation of the John le Carré novel and the next film by Tomas Alfredson, who had critic’s falling over themselves to come up with new superlatives to describe the admittedly somewhat messy Let The Right One In.

REVIEW: The Jungle Book

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Summer in Belfast is often a name-only affair, and the school (and university) holidays can drag as the hours spent sheltering from the rain in front of the TV and computer screen build up. This problem is even more acute for those of us who have small children in our lives, but Belfast’s Lyric Theatre may just have the perfect solution. Neil Duffield’s adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale The Jungle Book is showing at the Northern Bank Stage in the beautiful new Lyric until the 14^th of August, and is ideal for those who want to exchange rainy Ireland for the exotic and magical terrain of deepest jungle.
