OPINION: FIFA – The Only Way is Ethics
By John Benedict-Farrel FULL STORY
What is a crisis? Perhaps it is a time of great difficulty or a period of instability. The definition of what actually constitutes ‘a crisis’ is open to interpretation and often context-dependent.

REVIEW: Julia’s Eyes
BY MATTHEW MCKERNAN FULL STORY
‘Julia’s Eyes’ is the second Spanish horror film to come with the ‘Presented By’ label from Guillermo del Toro, following the huge success of fantastic gothic chiller ‘The Orphanage’, which also starred Belén Rueda. ‘Julia’s Eyes’ is a suspense-thriller with something that many recent horror films don’t have: characters.

REVIEW: Kaboom
BY MATTHEW MCKERNAN FULL STORY
‘Kaboom’ is the tenth feature film from fiercely unconventional filmmaker Gregg Araki. Being involved in the New Queer Cinema movement, his films defy categorization just as his characters defy rigid sexual identities. However, the film merely adds credence to the idea that American cinema cannot be arty without being mind-numbingly irritating and completely devoid of meaning.

OPINION: Wild West is Wild Predictable
The result of the Belfast West By-Election is a foregone conclusion. Sinn Féin are going to romp home and the only thing likely to reduce their majority is a minuscule turnout.

REVIEW: Cedric Has a Name – What We Want + 3 Songs EP
Cedric Has a Name also answers to Chris Steenson, a Belfast-based singer/songwriter who has cut his gigging teeth alongside the likes of Junior Johnson and Ian McHugh of A Plastic Rose. His first EP, ‘What We Want + 3 Songs’ is a melodic blend of indie, slowcore and lo-fi sensibilities that are perfect for those times in life when we just don’t know what it is we want, or what we have seems to be slipping away. Or, if you’re a bit more mundane, it’s a typical cut of classic rainy day shoe gazing soulfulness. BY ROMANO MULLIN FULL STORY
