)LOP *HW RQ XS During the course of Tate Taylor’s rambunctious, unwieldy Get On Up, it soon becomes clear that the film is going to follow the usual biopic steps. But the very first scene, at least, is one you may never forget. A depressing corporate meeting is being held in a James Brown electronic superstore in the late eighties, where one (potential?) employee is in the bathroom, having what we soon learn is a bowel movement. The matching action allows for Brown’s music to play over the soundtrack while the meeting rolls on ineffectually, as this woman writhes on the toilet seat, and as a clearly-intoxicated and medicated Brown speeds to the location in his truck. In this moment, the movie conflates Brown’s artistry and his downfall with both transgression (the initial

*XDUGLDQV RI WKH *DOD[\ Thinking back on my experience watching Guardians of the Galaxy, the new film from writer/director James Gunn, I find myself challenged to decide on the first aspect to really focus on. The comedy seems like an easy target, given that the feature is far and away the funniest Marvel Studios title to date. But it would be criminal to not pay immediate tribute to the impressive, gripping action sequences filled with stunning visual effects. It’s incredible that each member of the ensemble cast steals every scene they are in – letting your mind race and struggle to determine a favorite character – but it’s equally notable that each song in the ‘60s/’70s pop-rock-infused soundtrack beautifully enhances the moments it’s played. Hell, the natural starting place may just be talking about the beginning of the movie, featuring a heartbreaking, unexpectedly pathos-drenched moment set in 1988 where a young Peter Quill, the lead hero, watches as his mother passes away. Then again, perhaps it’s just best to look at Guardians of the Galaxy from a macro perspective and call it one of the most entertaining, fun,

thrilling, heartfelt and beautiful summer blockbusters we’ve seen. Similar to Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, the movie brings together a group of strange, disparate heroes/ anti-heroes from the world of Marvel Comics who unite as a team and stop a dangerous enemy from killing millions. Diving deeper, however, it’s a story about ﬁve lost-butadventurous souls who have experienced tremendous loss in their lives and begin to discover a way to start putting all of the pieces back together. The main plot begins as an adult Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) – who has become an intergalactic thief known as Star-Lord – ﬁnds himself on an abandoned planet looking to steal a mysterious orb that he hopes to sell for a pretty penny. What he doesn’t

realize is that this acquisition possesses a massive amount of power, and paints a gigantic target on his back - with a war criminal named Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace), and Peter’s former partner, Yondu (Michael Rooker), separately taking aim. When Guardians of the Galaxy was first announced, it was viewed as a risky proposition on behalf of Marvel Studios, given that the titular comic book heroes were largely unknowns to even most die-hard comic book fans. Now having seen the film, all of that questioning just seems rather foolish. What James Gunn and company have put together is nothing short of phenomenal, and one of the most outstanding, entertaining pieces of science-fiction space opera out there.

moment seems to imply masturbation, her legs crossed underneath the stall, panties around the ankles) and scatology. If Taylor has proven anything with his previous ﬁlm The Help, which featured an entire subplot about pies made of fecal matter, it’s that he’s truly not afraid to embrace the lowbrow aesthetics of every day life. This is the James Brown movie that John Waters will adore. The script, from writing partners Jez and JohnHenry Butterworth (Edge Of Tomorrow), soon settles into a familiar groove: here’s Brown meeting Maceo Parker; here’s Brown during his drugged-up fall from grace; here’s the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shooting; etc. But what Taylor and star Chadwick Boseman seem to do with the material is

infuse it with a little added flavor that isn’t on the page. Unfortunately, entire swaths of the film feel compromised, likely indicative of the Brown estate getting involved with the film. Few things are as off-putting as the daring match cut from adult Brown’s dancing feet to the poor Brown’s desperate yanking of a pair of shoes from a lynched black man. But aside from a brief shot of them sitting on a table, waiting to be ingested, drugs are largely ignored, and after a randy youth, sex is limited to offscreen. It’s audacious to begin a film in this way, with the older, coked-up Brown spinning a shotgun in his hands while wearing sweats. The disappointment is that the movie expects to create mystery as to how he gets there, and those answers end up being the simplest ones out there.

TV of the week Rectify Season 1 Rectify is a television show that just had its second season begin to startling reviews, the ﬁrst season came out last year and is a great piece of television that is deﬁnitely worth seeing. The show is about a man who comes home from prison

after 19 years due to DNA evidence bringing his crime into question; he was only a teenager when he was sent away and now must readjust to life outside. The show isn’t easy but is ultimately a rewarding experience, I recommend it.

Film of the week Boyhood Boyhood is a film that seemingly everyone who knows the first thing about films has become aware of and has started talking about, it’s the sort of event movie so huge that it triggers a backlash just by existing, it’s an almost completely unprecedented move in the history of cinema, but is it good? Yes it’s pretty damn good. The film is

the latest by Richard Linklater and is a twelve year project, following the development of Mason (Ellar Coltrane) from ﬁve to eighteen years old in real time, played by the same actor throughout. While you’ll probably see it for the novelty of that premise, the ﬁlm is also extremely heartfelt and touching and one of the best I’ve seen this year so far, I recommend it.

Song of the week Rustie: Raptor Rustie’s Raptor is a funny creature, too boisterous to be played at a club, too abrasive for the radio, this song feels like something to dance too but if you played it at a party it’d be turned off about ten seconds into the

drop. Yes this song has a drop on it, and yes predicting a drop these days is about as risky as predicting the sun will come up tomorrow, but Rustie’s drop here is so abrasive, so jarring, that you’ll be shocked all the same when you hear it.

Raptor tears away the dark underpinnings of his earlier material and instead produces something that could almost be the soundtrack to a six-year-old’s birthday party, it’s a fun bit of music that I recommend.

Album of the week The War on Drugs- Lost in the Dream Lost in the Dream is the newest album by American band The War on Drugs and is their best yet, their sound is unique and their ideas scalding, it’s an album really worth a look. The War on Drugs can be seen as an

Game of the week Transistor Transistor is the newest game by Supergiant Games, developers of 2011’s excellent Bastion and it is a remarkable improvement on what was one of the best games of that year. But while Bastion had a fascinating world, engrossing atmosphere and made great use of interactive storytelling, the actual moment-tomoment gameplay could

have been better. Not bad by any means but nothing really special, Transistor on the other hand has all the perks of Bastion listed above but also makes use of some very interesting gameplay. Bastion opened with you waking up on a rock ﬂoating in open space, Transistor opens with you, a sword and a man experiencing the wrong end of the latter, no context either time.

attempt to meld the Americana infused heartland rock of Bruce Springsteen from the 1980’s with the wandering depressed coldness that also characterized bands of that era. Loss and the feeling of being lost is infused

deeply into this album, even the keyboards at the start seem directionless, instruments are all producing different emotions and the clash is a breeding ground for great songs, I highly recommend this album.

Lifestyle & Living Kilkenny Arts Festival Until the 17th of August the Kilkenny Arts Festival continues and is one of the most exciting events of the year with dozens of things to see and do over the festivals course. Events include outdoor Shakespeare plays, every type of music from spoken

word to baroque art, the Pentalum, a giant luminarium highly popular last year as well as so much more; there is simply so much on display here and it is all easy to get involved in. I highly recommend the Kilkenny Arts Festival.

App of the week App- VVVVVV VVVVVV was an excellent game when it was released for PC and Mac back in January of 2010, and now ﬁnally we have versions for apple and android products that is just as fun and just as difficult as the origi-

nal version. The game is simple, so simple it could have been produced in the 70s on an Atari 2600, you walk down 2D corridors, and press the screen to jump onto the roof and vice versa, you do this to avoid

obstacles and traverse the environment. The game ﬁnds hundreds of ways to use this mechanic in its admittedly short length and is extremely enjoyable to play and replay. I highly recommend this game.

DVD of the week thrilling as it goes on. It’s a black comedy at heart, and can be very funny throughout, though it is deﬁnitely more serious than The Guard. The cast are all great, with Brendan Gleeson, Chris O’Dowd (Moone Boy) and Aidan Gillen (The Wire, Love Hate, Game of Thrones) all putting in great work. Calvary is a very good movie and I recommend it.

Calvary Calvary comes from the same people responsible for 2011’s The Guard and tells the story of a priest in confession whose told by the man on the other end that he’ll kill him by Sunday week. Initially he’s not quite sure what to make of this but the ﬁlm escalates past this and becomes quiet

BOOK of the week J.M Coetzee: The Childhood of Jesus The Childhood of Jesus is the somewhat new book by South African Nobel Laureate twice booker prize winning author J.M Coetzee. The novel is another strange one, highly allegorical about a middle aged man (Símon) and a ﬁve year old (David) who arrive in a new country after escaping their own for unclear reasons. The

Business of the Week Kilkenny Airsoft Kilkenny Airsoft is Ireland’s ﬁrst fully indoor shooting range and is one of the best locations in the country for enjoying airsoft. Located in Wallslough Village 3km from city centre, Kilkenny Airsoft is perfect for a day or night out; packages are available that

will keep the prices to your liking and the helpful staff will make sure your day is a great one whether you’re an expert or have never held a gun before. It’s perfect for birthday parties or even stag and hen nights; I highly recommend Kilkenny Airsoft.

boy’s mother is already in this country and Símon takes it upon himself to ﬁnd David’s mother and return him to her. I honestly couldn’t tell you what any of this has to do with Jesus but Coetzee’s sober prose and bizarre premises make him a unique and powerful voice in modern ﬁction and The Childhood of Jesus is certainly worth a read.

It was a Monday night, so only about a score or so were in the bar when my friend’s bank manager popped in, spotted my friend and his father, and said to all and sundry: “Jaysus, I am surprised to see you in here of a Monday night, given the state of your overdraft.’’

Puzzles

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order. One letter has already been entered. Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?

It may be time to put your observer’s hat on. Note how you’re attracting original thinkers into your world. Note too how certain people dress and how some definitely complement your style. It’s said that we are all just power and energy sources. It seems that these waves vary. When you want to use it, you have an extraordinary ability to turn things around and to direct traffic so that everyone gains. A combination of charm and expertise is at the root of this - plus your natural talent for staying grounded and ensuring practicalities are dealt with. By the end of this week you’re likely to be more in tune with yourself than you have been. True, that might also be because you realise you’ve come to the end of the road as regards a working partnership. It may be that you’ve given this all the energy that you can. You know that thing you do when you’re upset: that withdrawal into your shell? There’s a possibility you might want to do just that toward the weekend - but perhaps not for ‘negative’ reasons’. Fact is that it seems you’re on the threshold of a breakthrough (assuming you haven’t already crossed over). Perhaps you recall that since October 2012 Saturn has been moving through another of the Fixed signs and across the base of your solar chart? On several occasions, this, the very back-bone of this chart has been illuminated with both property and family matters demanding significant attention. By Thursday the Moon will be in your sign and it’s at this point that you may feel better able to voice disquiet at plans. It’s not that you’re being unnecessarily critical but rather more that you need to be clear as to what is planned, a time-frame and how it can best be managed.

SUDOKU

Think back to August last year and the connections you made then. Which of these require attention? It’s very likely that an investment (probably of time) might now require a little cash too. If there’s an issue here it’s perhaps that a close colleague or partner doesn’t share your aim. On Saturday, Saturn, still moving through your sign, opposes the Sun. You experienced this transit last year too. This represents something of a cosmic ‘full stop’ moment when any matters not finished to satisfaction come back for those final touches. It might help to think back to last August and September and what you and a colleague were planning. It may be time for review. True, you might simply end up discussing holiday dates. It’s as likely that your joint research and development ideas will push forward. It may not be possible to work from home but it certainly seems that there is home-work to do. Ensuring you have adequate working space set aside could be a driving force this week. Actually, this might well build on plans made late last summer and which you’ve never quite got around to implementing. It might help to think back a few months - perhaps to before the November solar eclipse. Though you may have consciously been reviewing every step you’ve taken since then, this week could provide the first opportunity to make real and lasting amendments. There are some signs who attract drama - and it seems you’re one of them. Perhaps that’s why those of your sign are viewed as chameleons - readily changing direction and style to accommodate conditions. It seems you might spend an increasing amount of time in your ‘dressing-room’ this week.
