God Is Not Great

*****

I was expecting great things in this book from a thinker I deeply admire. Unfortunately it has nothing new to say and has no chance of convincing anyone on either side of the fence. I'm not a big reader, I rarely read anything approaching philosophy...

Boom Boom (RTE)

*****

An excellent show on Irish comedy. Opens with Tommy Tiernan classic. Covered him, Podge & Rodge and Apres Match.

Double Fault by Lionel Shriver

*****

So Wimbledon was in progress, I was in my local bookshop and this novel caught my eye. Its the story of Willy, a low ranking tennis professional on the way up when we first encounter her. She's been playing tennis since aged four and is now...

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

*****

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

Top Gear (Summer 2008)

*****

What a rip-roaring start to the new series. Wow! Utterly non-PC, tons of fun. lots of fabulous cars, silliness and did I mention cars? Something for young and old to enjoy apart from the Sunday Night Project dicks. The boys are back in town and this...

Blades of Glory

*****

The most stupid film I've seen in two months and I wouldn't change a second of it. Not perfection like Kingpin but belly-laugh brilliant and worth watching just to see Will Ferrell in a leotard. The acting is all hammed and the ice-skating is...

Celebrity Banisteoir (Wicklow vs Westmeath)

*****

Well she finally showed her true colours. A woman whose entire political career has been dedicated entirely to her political career couldn't be arsed getting out of bed on a Sunday to be the Maryland coach. I was thrilled that they won, just to stick...

Celebrity Banisteoir

*****

I wanted Nell and her team to win. Despite her grumpiness, the affection was clear. Great TV if weak football

Doctor Who (2008, S04E01)

*****

The previews of "Partners in Crime" had me worried but they were wrong, a great fun episode to launch the new series. My biggest concern, Catherine Tate, turns out to be a pleasant surprise and I think she'll fit in well. The plot is one of the more...

Celebrity Banisteoir

*****

One of the top 10 RTE progs of all time. Passion, drama, failure, joy, style, substance, backbone, eyebrows.

Suprisingly good film, really kept the interest with moving plot, good writing, black comedy and exceptional acting.
