REVIEW: Beyond the Pole
Monday, March 29th, 2010
“I don’t put my faith in international actions, or in politicians, but I put my faith in us.”
These words from the director David Williams in a Q & A session succinctly shows the premise of this comic tale of heroism, poor preparation, and gay Norwegians. ‘Beyond The Pole’ avoids the lofty moralising of previous climate films such as ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, instead a message of small differences in our daily lives is promoted. The central theme of the film is a polar expedition carried out by two friends, Mark Bark-Jones (played by Stephen Mangan) and Brian Tongue (Rhys Thomas). The aim: To be the first all vegan, carbon neutral, and self-sufficient expedition to reach the North Pole.

REVIEW: Perrier’s Bounty
Sunday, March 28th, 2010
This film comes with a lot of pedigree. Presumably coming off the back of the success of 2008 masterpiece ‘In Bruges’, with the director of ‘A Film With Me In It’ and the writer of ‘Intermission’ and starring Brendan Gleeson, Jim Broadbent, Cillian Murphy and Liam Cunningham, how could it be bad? Well…it isn’t. OK, it isn’t going to give the Irish film industry the kick up the backside that it needs, but it is a very funny 88 minutes and entertaining to beat the band.

REVIEW: Exit through the Giftshop
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
The Mysterious street artist/vandal/topic of controversy Banksy opens with his first film, a documentary about an attempted documentary maker. Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles is a camera obsessive, who through his cousin ‘Invader’, gets gradually more and more involved in the subversive world of street art. Those of you wishing to see Banksy’s face or voice will be disappointed as he’s dubbed over, but the film, rather than being about him, is rather more directed by him, about the original filmmaker as a ‘more interesting character’.
