Posted on October 22, 2012

Susan O’Sullivan on the delicate charm of The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a highly anticipated adaptation of the cult novel by Stephen Chbosky.    Many of you have possibly read it, many more of you are aware of it because it is Emma Watson’s first film venture after Harry Potter.      The film’s…

Crazy Chicks | Aisling Murphy

Posted on October 22, 2012

Aisling Murphy takes issue with the depiction – or lack thereof – of brainy, unstable women on TV.      As I read Chris Redmond’s article “The God of TV”, something struck me – in the three award-winning, celebrated television programmes he was discussing, the protagonists were male, extremely intelligent and, perhaps most importantly, they all…

Against the clock | Cathal Dennehy

Looper is one of 2012’s more enjoyable sci-fi larks, writes Cathal Dennehy      Christopher Nolan, the man behind the Dark Knight Trilogy, has played a major role in changing the way many people look at blockbusters today. 2010’s Inception proved to everybody that a blockbuster didn’t have to be mindless, bland, explosion-filled trash, but rather…

To the polls | Aaron Noonan

Aaron Noonan reviews your filmic choices, White House style – just in time for the coming US election…      The War Room (1993): The War Room is a documentary depicting the activities of the campaign to elect Bill Clinton to presidency in 1992.  It follows George Stephanopoulos and James Carville, respectively Clinton’s Communications Director and…

The God of TV | Chris Redmond

By admin   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on October 9, 2012

Chris Redmond exposes the empiricist roots of House, Dexter and Breaking Bad.      Last month, an article in The Huffington Post documented the decline of religion and the rise of atheism in America. Since 2005, the number of Americans who claimed to be religious has declined from 73% to 60%, while the number of people…

The man comes around | Kellie Morrissey

By admin   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on October 9, 2012

Killing Them Softly is disquieting and quietly brilliant, writes Kellie Morrissey.      To describe Killing Them Softly in terms of its component parts is to ruin it, really – hitmen? Brad Pitt? Knocked-over card games? Tarantino comparisons? It sounds cheesy, it sounds bombastic, it sounds positively mob-like – with Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini in…

Sparking Up A Romance | Susan O’Sullivan

By admin   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on September 25, 2012

There’s some charm left in the ‘manic pixie dream girl’ stereotype, writes Susan O’Sullivan.      This feature presentation has been brought to us by the directors of the stunning Little Miss Sunshine, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. While Ruby Sparks is not quite as invigorating as their 2006 classic, it is anchored by the same…

I Thought I Walked Cathal Dennehy

By admin   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on September 25, 2012

I thought I walked Cathal Dennehy finds Lawless ultimately disappointing.      Australian director John Hillcoat returns with Lawless, the story of the Bondurant brothers who ran a successful bootlegging racket in 1930s Virginia. Coming on the wave of considerable hype (including calls for Tom Hardy to be given an Oscar for this performance on the…

The Law Won | Kellie Morrissey

By admin   Posted in Byline Film & TV
Posted on September 25, 2012

Film and TV Editor Kellie Morrissey welcomes back the newest incarnation of the Judge.      Comparisons to the 1995 Sly Stallone version are trite and irrelevant – Dredd impresses and does so without the need for a two-and-a-half hour long plot whose third act consists of crashing skyscrapers and big explosions. It does so without…
