Martin Cahill was a real person. He didn't drink or smoke, had a loving if unconventional family life with his wife, her sister and their kids, didn't womanize. He also was clever, funny, charismatic, ruthless, and, up until the end, a successful Dublin criminal. He didn't see his crimes as vice, just as an occupation. In addition to hundreds of burglaries and thefts beginning when he was scarcely a teen, he was smart enough to pull off two immense robberies, the first involving a large number of gold bars and jewels, the other of extremely valuable paintings. He wound up on the bad side of the cops, of the IRA, of the Unionists and even of one of his gang members.

John Boorman has written and directed a fascinating life of Martin ... Read More:

Miss Julie is a seriously excellent adaptation. Some might dislike its very stagey feel, but with the amount of utterly uninteresting plays I've seen lately, I could not have been more pleased! With only 3 proper characters (although we might add the silent presence of the Count), a set basically consisting of one room and some very intense dialogue, it's a very claustrophobic film.

Saffron Burrows is quite spectacular, carrying the emotions of Miss Julie magnificently. And Julie is a pretty emotionally unstable gal! The passion, the anger and the vulnerability all explode onto the screen (the bird-scene is just pitch perfect) and leave Mullan, to be frank, a little behind. Still, his performance is subtle, even if it does not quite ... Read More:

7.Gregory's Two Girls [1999] starring: Carly McKinnon, John Gordon Sinclair, John Murtagh, Hugh McCue, Dougray Scott

DVD : Gregory's Two Girls [1999]
John Gordon Sinclair is perfect as Gregory Underwood, the bumbling teacher with strong left-wing morals, and a desire to change the world - but lacking the get-up-and-go to actually do so.

The main message of this film is one of making a difference, even if it's a small one. Mr. Underwood's infatuation with a schoolgirl is made more difficult to ignore when he becomes involved in her extra-curricular investigation into a local firm whom she believes is involved in manufacturing torture equipment.

This is a very political film and accurately reflects the feeling of many fellow left-wing thinkers in this country who recognise the wrong in the world and dream of making a change - but never getting round to it. Anti-Americanism is ... Read More:

DVD : Queer As Folk 2 - Same Men, New Tricks [2000]
dreary cash-in after the successful first series.

it appears as if the writer lost interest in this halfway through, because there are untied strings and loose threads when it finishes - suddenly and thoughtlessly.

a hackneyed, drivelling and slapped-on ending will leave you disappointed.

(and please don't pay the full asking price for this. you WILL be disappointed.)

DVD : Moll Flanders [1997] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Surprisingly child friendly for a Moll Flanders adaption. This is a really good film with a fantastic and harrowing tale. A good adaptation of the original, with a lovable main character, played by robin wright. Morgan Freeman also played his role excellently, with the same to be said for john lynch in his role as the artist. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, it's a must watch for anyone whether literary or not. For all those who enjoy a bit of drama.

DVD : Nothing Personal [1996]
"Nothing Personal" is a film about the darkest days of the Northern Ireland Troubles in the mid 1970's, which even today it is almost taboo to discuss. It was the time of a vicious terrorist campaign by the Provisional IRA ,of no-go areas for the security forces, no- warning bombs, vicious rioting and a cut throat serial killing campaign by loyalist paramilitaries. "Nothing Personal" captures the mood of this very frightening time perfectly. The acting ,characterisation and cinematography are first rate and the "factional" story line gripping. Despite the grim,malevolent atmosphere of the film, there are moments of humour and a decent 70's soundtrack featuring some well known hits of the time. The attention to detail is well observed too ;the 70's ... Read More:
