REVIEW: The A-Team
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
This summer saw a full length feature version of the cult classic TV series The A-Team come to every screen in tune with Hollywood. With such a following of those who have watched and grown up watching, it was hard to imagine how director Joe Carnahan ( ‘Smokin’ Aces’) could do fans the justice they deserved. Fortunately, due to an amazing cast of leading actors, no-one will feel they’ve been robbed by ticket prices.

REVIEW: Inception
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Inception comes with a lot of hype. With enigmatic trailers, huge posters and the fact that it is the new film by Christopher Nolan, it’s ensured that everyone will notice it. Now, it’s easy to be prejudiced against the hyped film. Avatar and Paranormal Activity were duds, while the great Kick-Ass went by almost unnoticed. However, Inception is one of those rare films that, while not living up to expectations (whatever they were as the trailers were so devoid of clues), it surprises in other, completely unexpected ways.

You’ll leave the screen feeling as uplifted (but not as muddy) as the crowds nationwide.

ARTS: DJ Yoda among Belfast line up this Autumn
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Pioneer turntablist, DJ Yoda, is bringing his DJ/VJ show to the Limelight on the 23rd October. One of the most interesting and best DJs in the world over the past 10 years, Yoda has the ability to mix the Hip-Hop and the Dr. Who theme song and turn The Specials’ ‘Ghost town’ into a thriving metropolis. Mixing video and music at the same time, it’s guaranteed to be an amazing night whatever style of music you’re into, whether it’s Drum and Bass, Country or a bit of cheesy Pop, because it’ll all be played.
