My Favourite Film of 2016 – Sing Street

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on January 20, 2017January 13, 2017

Sing Street – what did this movie do to me? I’m writing this at 3:20 on a Sunday morning because I’ve been left stunned by its impact: the energy, emotion, and optimism that it brings, packaged with an inspired soundtrack. In a year that has seen so many critically recognised films with sensitive topics and…

A Week’s Worth of Tears

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Film & TV

So I went and asked the fine people of the UCC Express about the movies that left them in actual tears. Here’s a couple of our staff: Edward Scissorhands – Sophie McKenzie (Fiction Editor) When I was young, I was the tough nut of my family. E.T., Titanic, even the notoriously child-traumatizing parent deaths of…

Cork Film Festival: 11th – 20th November 2016

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline Film & TV
Posted on November 15, 2016November 14, 2016

The Cork Film Festival is in its 61st year, and by the time you’re reading this it’ll be about halfway through its 2016 run (the fortnightly publishing schedule for the Express isn’t fun sometimes). For the most part, the film Festival is held in Cork City locations: so Triskel, the Gate, the Everyman, and St…

The Key to Sherlock’s Return to Form

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on November 15, 2016November 14, 2016

The last season of Sherlock came out two years ago: I was enjoying my time off from 5th Year over Christmas, and come 8PM New Year’s day I was sitting down in front of the TV waiting for the answer that was on all Sherlock fans’ lips (spoilers) – “what’s the story with Sherlock not…

Video Game Movies: An Intervention

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Film & TV Gaming
Posted on November 7, 2016November 3, 2016

2016, on paper, is a renaissance of sorts for video game movies, with Ratchet & Clank, Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed all releasing this year. Yet video game movies have rarely come to life successfully on the big screen. If studios fail again, someone will have to say enough is enough – stop ruining my nostalgic…

Save Us Daft Punk

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Music
Posted on October 3, 2016September 26, 2016

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, also known as Daft Punk, are some of the biggest recluses in all of music, with their last music release being in 2013 with ‘Random Access Memories,’ receiving five Grammy Awards. Daft Punk’s legacy can sometimes seem underwhelming in comparison to the esteem they are held in, yet their…

Conor MacNeill – An Upcoming Regular of Irish Film

By Aaron Frahill   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on September 30, 2016September 26, 2016

Irish Film is arguably at the strongest point it has ever been. With Room (directed by Lenny Abrahamson) taking Oscars and Golden Globes, and Sing Street receiving very high universal acclaim, Irish film comes at a high standard nowadays, and Conor MacNeill doesn’t stray from this standard. MacNeill is a 28 year old actor from…
