SPORT: Is now the perfect time to stage the Open in Northern Ireland?
Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Surely the time is right for the Open championship to return to these shores for the first time in over half a century.

REVIEW: The Killing
Thursday, July 21st, 2011
Mention an American remake of a cult classic and chances are you’ll be met with despair, moans of anguish and an extravaganza of eye-rolling. Fans of Asian horror know more than most the terror of being greeted by a badly written and poorly acted copy imitating a much loved original. Lately however, American studios have turned their sights to northern Europe and the influx of Scandinavian films and television shows that are ripe for the picking. From the Swedish ‘Låt den rätte komma in’ came the 2010 ‘Let Me In’. Lisbeth Salander, the infamous girl with the dragon tattoo, is being transformed at this very moment into an American duplicate. Even the 2009 ‘Brothers’ with Toby Maguire and Jake Glyllenhaal is based on a Danish original.
