KILKENNY REPORTER 16 10 2013

In Castlecomer with Chubby Brennan

A blast from the past....

Who won the hurling street league that year and what year was it?

Festival ecumenism on the double THERE WILL be two Ecumenical Harvest Thanksgiving Services in the Castlecomer Union

of Parishes, Church of Ireland, this year.

The first is in Holy Trinity Church, Bilboa at 4pm; the second in St Mary’s Church, Castlecomer, at 6pm; both on

Sunday, October 20.

The guest preacher is Rev Dr Christine O’Dowd-Smyth, who will preach on the theme of ‘harvest and healing.’ All are invited.

Fiona says thanks Fiona Maher and friends say a sincere thanks to all who supported the coffee day in Castlecomer Library.

The occasion would not have been possible without generous sponsors, friends who baked delicious cakes, library staff and those of you who gave so generously.

All the help and support raised €3,195 which will greatly assist Cois Nore Cancer Support Centre.

Athletics Castlecomer athletes competed in round one of the Kilkenny ‘A’ Cross Country Championships in Ballycurran.

In all, 33 athletes travelled.

Significant for more than half of the Castlecomer athletes is that they were competing at a level just above their optimum - races were from U8 to U18.

Round two is hosted by Castlecomer AC, will be U7 to U19 and as it happens U9, U11, U13, and U15 will be the ideal category for many who ran U10,

U12, U14 and U16 last day.

Molly Hogan finished 7th at U8; Molly O’Dornan, Emily Murphy, Ella Buggy, Amelie Bolger, and Robyn Morrissey displayed dogged determination in finishing 21st to 34th.

Michael Brennan and Joey Ryan, U9 boys, rose to the test of the U10 race to finish 20th and 28th. The U12 girls were fourth in team rankings.

Katie Clarke, 11th, led home from Sarah Brophy (13) and Aoibhinn Brophy (16). Paula Lomas, Sophie Kealy and Caoimhe O’Reilly completed the Castlecomer challenge.

The U12 boys also finished fourth. Jack Murphy (8) was followed by Cathal O’Reilly (16), John Kevin Malone (17), and Sean O’Dornan (23).

Also fourth were the U14 girls, a point outside the medals.

Hannah Murphy was the fourth individual across the line. Aoife Cahalan (11) Ellen Buggy (19) Eimear Stone (23) and Paula Rodriguez completed the team. With Castlecomer having knocked three times on the medals’ door without reward, the U14 boys finally reached the podium to win silver.

Killian Hogan (13), Jeremiah Burke, in his first cross country appearance (14), James Buggy (15). Adam Jacob (19) and

Nicky Connolly (20). That was a most impressive team performance.

Meadbh Delaney (7) and Eva Dowd (12) represented Castlecomer at U16 where they both performed admirably.

Sean Buggy’s gold medal run at U16 was the individual highlight of the day. He came from a group of three, tailing the leader by some distance, to advance to second on the last long climb.

He continued to cut the deficit till at the summit of this ascent he took the lead and to the delight of the Castlecomer contingent, he pulled away convincingly. Ross Connolly (9) and Ben Hamilton (12) followed.

Lauren Dermody completed the U18 race in fourth, maintaining her now well established pattern of high placing.

Next Sunday, Joe O’Shea’s farm near Dysart Bridge will be the venue for the second round of the championships.

The silver medal team of round one will be split - Adam Jacob, Jeremiah Burke and James Buggy join Ross Connolly at U15; Nicky Connolly and Killian Hogan join John Kevin Malone, Sean O’Dornan, Louis Feehan and Conor Clarke at U13.

Many of the girls will be racing in their optimum age group and this might be a significant factor in propelling them towards team rewards.

Defib Group Castlecomer Community Defibrillator Group have CPR/ AED training courses planned for October 16 and 17. Both are fully booked. Details of other courses will be given at a later date.

T Irma Mali in Paco

HE SECOND Kilkenny Fashion Week was a spectacular four days of fashion events that were a credit to organisers as well as proving a fantastic showcase for Kilkenny as a premium shopping destination.

Over 500 fashion enthusiasts attended the gala fashion show at Lyrath Estate Hotel on Wednesday night. The extravaganza equalled anything seen on a runway in Paris, Milan or New York.

Sixteen of Ireland’s top models showcased 192 outfits from over 20 Kilkenny fashion retailers. Backstage it was a great collective effort as two stylists, one assistant, 10 dressers, a hair team from Kieran continued overleaf

Student Scholarship.

She receives four weeks of free tutoring in fashion design next summer at the prestigious Grafton Academy of Dress Design in Dublin, the alma mater of top Irish designers such as Louise Kennedy, Paul Costello and Richard Lewis.

Emily wowed the judges by using her father’s leather computer case, an old maxi dress, black bra and vest top to create a beautiful evening dress with lace on the bodice and intricate leather leaf detail on the belt.

In terms of a head-start in fashion, three proved to be a magic number as, owing to the huge standard in the entries, two Kilkenny College students – Dylan Kerr

and Fiona O’Connell - were each awarded a two-week scholarship to the Grafton Academy as joint runnersup.

Double act Colin Atkinson, senior head tutor at Grafton Academy, was present to award the scholarships.

TV Stylist Cathy O’Connor and local broadcaster Johnny Barry proved an entertaining double act at the over 50s fashion show in Langton’s on Thursday.

All of the models looked fantastic and had great confidence, despite making their catwalk debuts.

Friday saw Eva Phelan, winner of the Kilkenny Fashion Week New Face Competition and Andrea

Brennan, its runner-up, take to the catwalk at Style in the City in the Left Bank, hosted by stylist Courtney Smith.

Models Grace O’Mahony and Sinead de Buitléir joined them on the ramp for a night of fashion and fun. BEAT 102/103 DJ and model Teresanne O’Reilly oversaw a great playlist.

Fashion took to the streets on Saturday with 20-minute fashion shows all afternoon at The Tholsel. Across the road in Market Cross Shopping Centre, one of Ireland’s most sought after make-up artists, Derrick Carberry, hosted a one-hour make-up session alongside Emma Hogan Eyre.

Roll on Kilkenny Fashion Week 2014!

MACHETE KILLS M

achete Kills is funny, outlandish and a whole lot of fun. For awhile. Unfortunately, its goofy, slapdash premise just isn’t enough to hold up the sequel. It gets old in a hurry, and when it does, its somewhat abbreviated runtime of 108 minutes crawls by. That’s the problem with making an absurd movie absent any connection to reality. Without actual stakes, rules and coherence, a movie like this needs to maintain humor or over-the-top shock throughout or it becomes boring and stupid. It’s unfair to say Machete Kills is boring and stupid, but it flirts with both of those adjectives far too often to be considered a good movie.

The film’s basic premise follows Machete (Danny Trejo), a Mexican detective/ spy/ jack of all trades who is enlisted by President Rathcock (Charlie Sheen) to prevent a missile attack in exchange for United States citizenship.

Our hero agrees, and he sets off South of the Border for a farcical adventure that plays out like a series of and-thenhe-mets involving Michelle

Rodriguez, Demian Bichir, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr, Amber Heard, Walton Goggins and Mel Gibson. Everyone is pretty good in their own ways, but the clear standouts are definitely Bichir and Gibson who throw off the gloves and just go for it with maniacal, emotionally unhinged performances, which mostly work opposite Trejo’s reserved Machete.

Though the emotionally reserved quality of our protagonist plays well in individual scenes against the surrounding madness, it doesn’t play as well over an entire runtime. Machete is just too stunted to carry the load. His serious face and angry silence are the equivalent of Captain America’s wait-what-is-this-Internetyou-speak-of jokes. A few of them during a film’s runtime work perfectly, but a movie has to get more than that out of its hero. Think of it like one of those Saturday Night Live sketches with a great premise that gets a bunch of laughs early and just sorta keeps going and going and going without breaking any

new ground. In retrospect, it’s hard to trash the entire thing since there are great moments, but a film has to be judged in totality, and this one punches the same note too many times.

Machete Kills begins and ends with a trailer for an unshot third installment of the franchise that takes place in space. No doubt Trejo and director Robert Rodriguez are hoping their passion project will do gangbusters at the box office and allow them another twenty million to get goofy. Maybe it will.

Maybe it won’t. Either way, it’s pretty obvious after one trailer and two movies, the character has been played out as far as he should be.

That being said, Machete Kills should have a long life on premium cable channels because it will no doubt prove a very popular movie to watch in small doses. I can promise you I’ll never sit down and watch this entire film again, but if it were on Showtime right now, I’d watch Machete scowl at a few people, cut some villains in half and use his bizarre inside-out gun for about a ten minute stretch.

Xxx XXX newďŹ lms CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to see the attraction of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based On A True Storyâ&#x20AC;? label. Everyone has heard that truth can be stranger than fiction, and there is legitimately something amazing about the fact that a story from our reality can be entertaining enough to compete with our wildest imaginations. But this sort of cinematic storytelling has its handicaps.

If a gripping true tale is too well-known and widespread before it gets the movie treatment, then a filmmaker can wind up singing a song that everybody has already heard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this conflict that becomes the greatest problem in Paul Greengrassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Captain Phillips, a largely thrilling tale of piracy, bravery, and heroism on the coast of Somalia that is ultimately hampered by its own true story.

Greengrass is no stranger to crafting dramatizations of real events, capturing both the Irish civil rights protests of the 1970s (Bloody Sunday) and the tragedy of September 11th, 2001 (United 93).

The material of his latest movie suits him perfectly. In April 2009, Captain Richard Phillips (portrayed by Tom Hanks) was navigating a container ship off of the east coast of Africa when the vessel was hijacked by pirates. Armed with quick thinking, good training, and impressive courage, Phillips was able to protect his crew, but put his life on the line doing so. Aided by Billy Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screenplay, Greengrass squeezes out every last thrill that the story has and generates an exciting atmosphere with his trademark intense cinematography, but becomes handcuffed executing the truth, resulting in a bloated third act that could stand to lose 10 to 15 minutes.

Hanks gives a legitimately strong performance that anchors the story, and audiences will have no trouble connecting with the captain even in the most dramatic moments. Phillips isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a particularly dynamic or exciting character, mostly defined by his sternness and state of calm in the face of danger, but the actor seamlessly melts into the part with just a greying goatee, a polo shirt and a pair of glasses, completely defying his A-list star status by disappearing into the role from the very first scene. By the very end you feel the entire weight that has been slung on to Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoulders; in the final moments of the film Hanks goes into emotional overdrive, and the results are gutting.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossibly hard for good acting to completely patch over flawed storytelling.

Just like the story itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on, Captain Phillips is dramatic and exciting and Greengrassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; direction and Hanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance alone make it worth seeing. But one has to wonder how much better it could have been with a less strict, by the book approach.

Exercising with you dog As a runner itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a partner to run with, regardless if that partner runs on two legs or four legs. A dog can make a great running partner, not only can they help keep us motivated to run, but they can also provide us with a sense of security and companionship especially for those of us who must run in remote areas.

But before you get too eager to put a leash on your four-legged friend, there are a few tips to consider prior to taking your first step out the door with your running buddy.

1. Get medical clearance from your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vet Just like we need to get medical clearance for exercise, same is true for our pets. This is especially necessary if your pet has led a fairly sedentary lifestyle. While your dog may spend hours running around the backyard, it is not quite the same as running five, three or even one mile.

2. Know which breeds are best for running Knowing which breeds are best suited for running can help determine if Fido is going to make a great running partner or best left hanging out in the backyard.

There are certain breeds where running may actually be detrimental to your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being.

Some breeds, such as the Border Collie are more prone to hip dysplasia issues which can be aggravated from running while other breeds, such as the Pug and Bulldog are more prone to respiratory and overheating issues. Runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World has compiled a list of dog breeds and the distance each breed can safely run. But remember your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vet is the best source of advice as to whether your best friend can run or not.

3. Consider the age of your dog Having a puppy full of energy may seem like the ideal time to train her to run with you, but remember your puppy is still growing. Her bones are still developing. This does not mean she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever run with you, but

please check with your vet as to the distance and intensity of runs that would be most suitable for your growing puppy.

Older dogs can run, depending on the breed and disposition of your dog, just make sure that you have discussed your concerns with your vet before taking Fluffy out for her first run.

4. Make sure your dog is on a leash In my six years as a runner one of the most intimidating experiences is to come across a dog that is not leashed. While you as his owner may be quite comfortable with voice command in controlling your dog, I, as a runner, have no clue how well controlled your dog is. A few years ago I had a Jack Russell Terrier come running at me nipping at my lower leg, thankfully the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner could grab him before any damage was done.

My most recent scare came just a few days ago when a German Shepherd who was trained to attack came barreling at me (the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s description, not mine)-to hear the fear in the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice literally had me stop dead in my tracks until the owner gained control over his dog.

5. Consider the running surface We are fortunate to be able to put on a pair of running shoes and head out the door. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry too much about the road temperature or debris, but for your dog this is a big factor. Concrete and debris on the road are big hazards for your dog, especially in the heat of summer when the running surface is very hot.

If your dog starts to limp, you will want to stop immediately to check his paws for any foreign body that may have embedded in your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paw. Also, if you are running in winter where snow and ice are commonplace, after your run be sure to wash your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paws as salt and other chemicals used on the roads can be very toxic to dogs, especially if they are prone to licking.

FILM His Girl Friday (1940) Reporting was certainly a different business back in the days that this film is set (the mid 1920’s). The opening text screen describes this time as ‘the dark age of journalism’ though its frenetic and anarchic pace leaves something to be desired in our modern newspaper world where most of the big newspapers like the Irish Times have reporters who never leave the office. This Girl Friday is a comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and tells the story of Hildy, a newly engaged woman who used to be a reporter for a Chicago newspaper and was married to its editor Walter. The film is technically an adaption of

a 1926 play called The Front Page though the film is so completely different from the source material that to call it an adaption would be misguided. Hildy in the play is male and not engaged or previously married, just a normal reporter who has become sick of the job and wants to settle down. The film has the editor as a major character and also creates an entirely different opening fourty minutes. The best part of the film is certainly the second half, which is set entirely in the pressroom of the Chicago criminal courts building. When a highly publicized prisoner escapes from the prison, the various newspaper reporters present go absolutely insane trying to find the story, and our heroine ends up relapsing on journalism as she’s swept up in the moment.

Once this section sets in, the pace becomes frenetic and intoxicating; everything happens so fast as reporters from all the newspapers rush in and out constantly carrying wildly different information and sources for how he escaped, where he is, and what will happen next. On top of this, Hildy also ends up juggling her fiancé, her fiancé’s mother, and some other elements that would spoil the film to reveal. The film still retains its status as a comedy during this period and is consistently hilarious throughout. The film’s writers were truly clever people and were able to juggle all of these elements perfectly, making them both entertaining, fast as a bullet and never incomprehensible. His Girl Friday is unquestionably one of the best comedies ever made.

ALBUM

BOOK Franz Kafka- The Metamorphosis (1915) Welcome to the world of Franz Kafka, where absolutely nothing is straightforward.

The bizarre surrealism that surrounds all of the German mans work has birthed first the term ‘Kafka-esque’ and has also set the scene for other philosophical literature writings such as Albert Camus’s The Outsider. Interpretations of The Metamorphosis have ranged in ways completely scattershot, with people arguing that it’s about a plethora of different things from a deconstruction of the self to the father-son relationship to Marxism.

When beginning his famous Cornell University lecture on Metamorphosis, Lolita author Vladimir Nabokov said: ‘if Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” strikes anyone as something more than an entomological

fantasy, then I congratulate him on having joined the ranks of good and great readers’. And indeed, everyone who I have discussed the short story with has said it’s about something else. It’s the sort of book that you’ll read ten times and then decide it’s about your dog or whatever.

The Metamorphosis is a short work somewhere between a short story and a novella and is a relatively simple tale about a man who wakes up one day as an insect. We jump right into the thick of it from the first line: ‘One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin’.

How the book is written (well how the translation is written) makes the entire work feel jovial and comedic in an absurdist sort of way.

In fact you might even laugh at some points, even though the narrative, when viewed straightforward, is really a

Faust- Faust I (1971)

tragedy. In the end, it’s just something that everyone has to read at least twice. It’ll only take an hour or so and is written in simple prose but its message, whatever you decide that it is, will leave an inflection on you that will change how you view literature forever.

In the 1970’s, a host of extremely talented bands began to emerge out of West Germany. These bands, eventually all lumped together into the genre of Krautrock, ended up redefining the sound of music in Britain and later the US. The genre became known as krautrock entirely because the bands were German and not because of any sonic similarities, they all sound extremely different from eachother.

The genre’s most famous groups are Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!, and Faust.

Their influence of their music became clear in the late seventies and early eighties with artists such as Talking Heads, Joy Division, David Bowie and almost all post punk and new wave bands vouched for the power of these German bands. The self-titled debut

by Faust was one of the earliest albums in the genre and one of its most stunning, dissonant creations. Faust were early adaptors of an abundance of different songwriting techniques, from the use of found sounds to synthesizers to sampling; and almost all of these are used to distort and

make absurd what is basically just chamber pop put in a blender. The album has three tracks spread over 34 minutes though each track is home to about four or five smaller works each so this album could have easily been divided into fifteen or more tracks. The album opens with ‘Why Don’t You Eat Carrots?’ a schizophrenic amalgamation of sounds that starts with what sounds like a nuclear whistle played over samples of classic rock songs Satisfaction and All You Need is Love. Often times it feels like they had heaps of different ideas and just threw them all in to see what would stick. Stylistically the album is reminiscent of German Dadaist art with its use of cacophonic sounds and its constantly evolving structure. But though the album is cacophonic, Dadaist and just bizarre, it never stops being a fun album, even on the first listen. I honestly couldn’t say how they manage to make an album this weird be so accessible but they do and it’s fantastic. It really is something that must be experienced for oneself; it’s an incredible work and one of the most important rock albums ever made.

The treasurer of the local spor ts club, Pat Ryan, was counting the receipts after a table quiz night in the pavilion.

Collecting the silver coins togehter, he said: ‘The total amount of money here is in 50-pence, 10-pence and 5pence coins, and is £195.50.’

Pat went on to explain that there were twice as many 10-pence coins as 5-pence coins and the number of 5pence coins was a multiple of the number of 50-pence coins. ‘ But I am not going to tell you what that multiple is,’ said he, ‘because I want you to tell me how many of each of the coins make up the money. However, I will add that there are between thirty and forty 50-pence coins.’

Question: Can you answer this problem?

In the process of changing to metric measure we sometimes become confused, and none more so than Martin, an apprentice at a local workshop.

The other day he was puzzling over a piece of metal when I approached. “Is something worr ying you, Martin?” I asked.

He replied: “I have to cut a rectangular piece of metal and I remember that its length in centimetres is five times its width in inches.”

“That’s no use,” I said. “Haven’t you any other information?”

“Yes; I remember that the length of the diagonal was 2cm longer than the length of the rectangle,” he said.

“Good,” said I, “we can soon work out the dimensions of the rectangle now!”

You will have the chance to do something remarkable this week. But don’t tr y to do everything yourself when you’ll be so much more effective when working with others. Even if you dislike having to depend on others, it will be worth it in the end.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

You are not one to be bullied or browbeaten and won’t be impressed by someone who tries to persuade you to abandon your principles or beliefs this week in favour of their own. Be the free thinker you are, you don’t need anyone to do it for you.

You are normally the epitome of charm and consideration, but there are times you go the other way. You would be wise to keep your feelings to yourself rather than causing upsets. Life is far too short to make enemies out of your allies.

A domestic matter you’ve been avoiding must be dealt with, and you are advised to take everyone’s needs into account before reaching a conclusion. A work or financial opportunity has great potential for the future. First, however, you must sort out the present.

HOROSCOPES

Question: What were they? (in inches)

$16:(56 RQ 3DJH Answers and Solutions on Page ??

A week in which you can make progress if you trust your talents, instincts and charm. But don’t rely on someone who seems to be having trouble getting their act together. There’s no doubt that you have the skills to succeed, but do you have the motivation?

VIRGO August 24 - September 22

It is not what you know but what other people think you know that matters this week. You would do well to keep them guessing – especially when it comes to group activities and financial issues. Also, demonstrate your feelings for someone you love.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22

Don’t join the chorus of criticism against someone in authority this week – at least, not obviously – as the next person in the line of fire is likely to be you. It is also important that those who view you as their personal rock are not about to be disappointed.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22

Your thoughts are turning to new locations or directions.

For the moment, focus on clearing the decks – practically and emotionally – so you are unencumbered for what comes next. Your achievements so far are irrefutable, but this journey has still just begun.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 21

What happens over the next few days will remind you that the world is larger, and your ambitions greater. Add to that the fact that mounting pressure in one area of your life seems to be edging into others, and you need no excuse to spreading your wings.

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19

Your giving nature is a wonder ful asset, but you must be careful not to overdo it – emotionally or practically. With an associate or loved one making increasing demands on your time and patience, the time has come to spare a thought for your own needs.

Pub of the week The Brewery Corner

are unanimously fantastic to drink.

Though what makes this pub great is what’s on import.

We have beers from Scotland, Germany, France, Belgium, The US, Italy as well as a whole bunch of other countries.

There are also spirits, also on import, that are all a pleasure to have. If you can’t pick, then for €8 you can try a selection of five randomly chosen beers. It’s simply a fantastic and unique pub that should definitely be visited.

Parliament Street has a wealth of great pubs on it but none with quite the same appeal as The Brewery Corner.

The pub forgoes what one would expect on the tap and instead specializes in local and import beers. You won’t even find Guinness at The Brewery Corner, on the tap we have O’Hara’s as well as a host of other local brands that

Business of the week A Rural Experience A Rural Experience is a family run tour business located in the heart of Kilkenny. The aim of the company is to create tours that introduce guests to the culture & characteristics of Ireland.

A Rural Experience will take you to every corner of Ireland from sampling Ireland’s oldest whiskey at Bushmill’s, Co. Antrim,

step back in time aboard The Dunbrody Famine Shop, Co. Wexford or enjoy the craic at a trad session with new friends in

Connemara.

The proprietor, Amy McDonald & her team of Irish guides & drivers bring a wide range of travel

experiences & passion to all tours. Amy’s personal attention to detail & friendly persona guarantee fun & relaxed breaks for everyone she meets.

Travel from Belfast to Kerry, Dublin to the Aran Islands in luxury coaches & cars in the company of friendly tour guides who will introduce you to everything Irish.

Book of the week Malala Yousafzai and Christian Lamb- I Am Malala I’m sure everyone has heard of the famous Malala Yousafzai by this time; the Pakistani girl who decided to protest and speak out against the Taliban in aid of education when she was only fourteen.

Last year she was

shot in the head by the Taliban on a school bus in point blank range.

She somehow ended up surviving this travesty and is now sixteen, living in Birmingham.

This new biography, written with the aid of

Christian Lamb, tells her story between the ages of six and sixteen and the harrowing journey she took in that time.

It’s one of those books that should be read if only for the sake of educating yourself.

DVD of the week Epic Epic is a new animated film from the creators of Ice Age that features an all-star cast, a cornucopia of great reviews, and a heartfelt story that will rivet you for the entirety of its 103 minutes.

TV of the week The Walking Dead Season 4 The Walking Dead has returned with a brand new season that continues the story of the survivors, now seemingly settled for good in last season’s prison.

In Season 3 we saw the introduction of the militant town of Woodbury and its governor who continually became more and more insane as the season progressed. We ended

with the governor going rogue and massacring the Woodbury civilians in cold blood.

The surviving citizens then moved to the prison where it seems that the shows main action will continue.

Though it can often fail in its execution of certain elements, The Walking Dead is a highly entertaining 45 minutes and shouldn’t disappoint.

The film stars (stars the voices of that is): Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson and Christopher Waltz and the story is about a teenager who finds herself transported to

a deep forest where a battle between the forces of good and evil are about to take place.

It’s one of those great for kids but also works fine for adults’ films and is definitely worth a look.

Beyond: Two Souls David Cage and Quantic Dream are back after three years with Beyond: Two Souls.

The developers are famous for making games that play as interactive films somewhat resembling old school adventure games with their main gameplay mechanics being quick time events and puzzles.

Though while their last

game, Heavy Rain, was a mystery thriller where you switched between six different perspectives and tried to figure out who the murderer was, Beyond: Two Souls is about a psychic Ellen Page who makes paranormal activities happen.

The game has been garnering traction recently and should definitely be looked into by any fans of Quantic Dream.

App of the week iTube pro For anyone like me who thinks that trying to load a song on youtube to listen to on your phone is too much work relative to how small a thing it should be, then you’ll probably enjoy iTube pro.

The app allows one to use youtube as a music player, to play in the

background, to make playlists, to make sleep timers, and to find the lyrics to the song you are listening to.

You can make a dynamic playlist that will change based on what songs are in the playlist and which are listened to the most.

It’s certainly a worthy convenience app.

Film of the week Gravity Gravity is the new film by Children of Men director Alfonso Cuarón and has quickly become one of the most critically acclaimed films in recent memory, garnering a score of 96 from both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

The film stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock and is a thriller about two astronauts

lost in space.

I won’t say anymore about the plot, as of the time of writing this film has not arrived here yet and I haven’t seen it though everything I’ve heard about it make it sound incredible. It’s also one of the movies that simply must be seen in 3D, so don’t cheat yourself by seeing it without that.

Gig of the week Gretchen Peters Gretchen Peters is an American singer-songwriter from Nashville who will be playing at the Set Theatre next Friday, the 18th October.

The Grammy Nominated singer is famous for her beautiful and pleasant melodies as well

Album of the Week Danny Brown- Old Thirty-two year old Detroit Rapper Danny Brown is back with another album about getting old, at thirty- two.

Brown came to popularity for the first time in 2011 with XXX, another album about getting old that played as

a concept album with Danny terrified that he’ll never have any success and be soon dead.

Since then Brown has become more and more popular and is now making an album that gets reviewed and has guest vocals and

charts.

With Old he retires many of the debaucheries discussed in the first half of XXX in exchange for accentuating its more emotional face and overall makes a much better album.

as her textured arrangements; she has been active since 1996 and has released seven studio albums.

On the subject of her newest album, Hello Cruel World, she had this to say: ‘[it was my] most close-to-thebone work, written

at a time when I felt absolutely fearless about telling the truth […] after the trials of the past year I felt raw, open.

I wanted to write songs that hurt. I wanted to write songs that were brutally honest’
