Clash of the Titans mk2 (spoilers if you haven't a clue about greek mythology)
I watched my shiny blu-ray version of the Clash of the Titans yesterday, a bit apprehensive if it would hold up to my rather good memories.
The short answer is that it is actually a lot better than it was in the cinemas. I couldn't have realised how much the 3D destroyed the entire movie, really. I loved it then, but I had a few reservations about ( Read more... ) -
Irish tea party
Here is our president Michael D. Higgins the Magnificent, laying the smackdown on a tea partier about healthcare in the US and the situation in Israel in 2010.
It is a thing of BEAUTY and I am absolutely awed. Saint George striking the Dragon wouldn't have done better.

Now, you would think we really really really could not afford to win this year, but -

Movie thoughts.
Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton is coming out in Ireland on Sunday. I so want to watch it! A reasonably awful review is not going to deter me.
