)LOP /XF\ The ﬁrst thing you need to know about Lucy is that it’s not the movie its trailers would have you believe. Flaunting Avengers star Scarlett Johansson as a no-nonsense gunslinger, its trailers suggest that Lucy is a wall-to-wall actionthriller with a healthy dose of science ﬁction. However, the latest from writer-director Luc Besson is far more cerebral than these ads let on. While a non-stop Johansson-fronted action vehicle is something I’d gladly see, what Lucy offers is a bit more rich, though perhaps too rushed to sell its grander premise. Johansson stars as Lucy, a student whose life is thrown radically off course when she’s abducted by a pack of vicious gangsters and forced to be their international mule for a new synthetic drug, CPH4. A bag of the powdered drug sits in Lucy’s lower intestine after a crude surgery. But when

0DJLF LQ WKH PRRWOLJKW Pride & Prejudice meets Harry Houdini’s quest, meets Woody Allen’s aesthetic. This is the recipe of Allen’s latest Magic in the Moonlight. If you had given me this pitch a couple of weeks ago, I would have been totally delighted, expecting an intellectually stimulating and jaunty romance with a healthy edge of wit. Unfortunately, Allen doesn’t get the magic of Mr. Darcy, overloading his prickly would-be lover with smugness and elitism to the point where this love story curdles. Set in 1928, Magic In the Moonlight stars Colin Firth as Stanley, a world-renowned magician, and outspoken debunker of so-called spiritualists. He’s Harry Houdini, except with a cringe-worthy use of yellow face he parades on stage as Wei Ling Soo, an “Oriental” practitioner of illusions complete with slanted eye makeup and appropriated accouterment. Thankfully, Stanley is quickly plucked from his Eastern costumes and offensive Berlin stage show and swept to Southern France where a colleague (Simon McBurney) invites him to debunk a beautiful American ingénue mystic named Sophie (Emma Stone). She is lovely, girlish, and easily charms the affluent English

family who hosts her to have access to her gifts as a medium. But is she a fraud? While seeking to expose her, Stanley--despite his rationale and skepticism--begins to fall for this uneducated yet darling young woman. All in all, Magic in the Moonlight is a muddled movie that delivers a gawky, unbelievable love story, tangled among a lazy intellectual debate, marinated in an abundance of sentiment and nostalgia. If you look at in the grander scale of

Allen’s works, there is some value in picking apart how it fits and what it might say about the filmmaker’s state of mind as he ages closer to the realization of his own mortality. Along the way, there are some appealing performances from a supporting cast that includes Jackie Weaver, Eileen Atkins, Marcia Gay Harden, and Hamish Linklater. But as a piece of entertainment unto itself, Magic in the Moonlight is frustratingly flaccid and uninspiring.

she’s assaulted en route to her forced ﬂight out the country, it bursts, ﬂooding her body with high doses of a chemical that in its natural state is intended to help a fetus grow bones. For Lucy, this blue would-be club drug instead expands her

mind, allowing her to use more of it (percentage-wise) than any human before her. Ultimately, Lucy is solidly entertaining, though at times its leaps in logic feel a bit silly. Nonetheless, those looking for a Scarlett Johansson actioner won’t go away disappointed. She is a fearless and captivating warrior as Lucy, throwing down thugs with hand-tohand combat, master marksmanship, or mind powers. But along with some jaw-dropping action scenes and cringeinducing violence, you’re given some food for thought. At times, Lucy’s earnestness feels sentimentally old school, harkening back to Besson’s early days circa La Femme Nikita and The Professional. While its intensely sincere tone might feel a bit dated, it’s a welcome sentiment that threads Lucy with a sense of self-importance it’s easy to get on board with.

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.

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.

In Castlecomer with Chubby Brennan Blast from the past...

Our pic was taken in Hughes’s Lane about 1964. Included are Sheas, Holdens, Brophys, O’Neills. ‘Maryville forever’ is the slogan

MANY FOREIGN visitors and Diaspora visit Castlecomer every Christmas and New Year. Many look forward to seeing family and friends over this special time of the year and enjoy participating in our Wellie Race. The 2013 Wellie Race was one of the ﬁrst events of the Gathering 2013 project and received widespread recognition for the manner in which we adapted to focus on returning emigrants and international participation. Now in 2014 we have been offered a small but signiﬁcant

grant towards building up the range and scope of the events leading up to the Wellie Race. Once again we have to deliver proof of participation of international visitors and returning emigrants. We are looking to see if other clubs, groups, businesses and individuals would be interested in getting involved. We feel there is an opportunity to create events on either the weekend between Christmas and New Year or on New Year’s Eve that would appeal to visitors and returning family members. We would like to

see events that would complement the Wellie Race and might share the Wellie theme. A meeting will be held in the community hall on August 18, 8pm to discuss the project and we hope as many organisations as possible will attend. We will have to be conﬁdent that the project is viable in advance of commencing work as funding will only be provided once we have achieved the clear targets of the funding body. For more information or if you are unable to attend but feel

your group might be interested please contact myself, Chubby Brennan, at your convenience. ATHLETICS ‘Comer athletes have been competition at national level. At the men’s senior finals, Eoin Muldowney was fifth in the ‘B’ final of 100m in Santry. In the junior championship, Nicky Connolly was third in 2000m U14 but was prevented by illness from competition in the national championships. Collection training after holidays will focus on Autumn

cross country races. LIBRARY Join the free Summer Reading Programme! You can pick up prizes all this month. Mythical Maze themed art classes on August 21 and 26 at 11am. Suitable for boys/ girls aged 6-12 years. Ring 4440561 to book. Go along to the launch of ‘!rish Detective in London’ by local man Gerry O’Shea on August 19, 7pm. To celebrate Heritage Week go along to a presentation on ‘The Golden era of ceili music

and dance’ on August 26, 7pm. There is no charge FUN DAY Castlecomer Union of Parishes (St Mary’s, The Colliery, Bilboa and Mothel/ Coolcullen) hold a Fun Day and Vintage Afternoon Tea on August 16, 2pm to 5pm, in the Grounds of Wandesforde National School, The Square. There will be a secret auction, display of vintage artefacts, wellie toss, kids’ fancy dress, face painting, barbecue, ﬂowers and plants, cup-cake stall and games.

*ROI 1RWHV Castlecomer Open week: It was quite wonderful to meet and greet the players from other clubs who came to enjoy the new layout of Castlecomer course during open week. Resounding affirmations and approval for the changes made, that removed nothing of the splendour of the course, were heard from all quarters. Open week was a joyous and celebrated time for the club, thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by all the players, whether winners or not. To the music of the Stone Throwers, prize winners collected their well won trophies during Saturday night’s revelry in the club house.
