Listened to a bit of a review of Filth last night and now I can't wait to see it. The guy was raving about McAvoy's performance!! Apparently it's not one to take the Missus too though!

Ah shite - we're going tonight! Will let you know what she thinks of it. Maybe I'll just go on my own! Mind you, just got some expenses from County Board, so she's getting taken out beforehand, so 1/2 ain't bad, if the film ain't her cup of tea!

Milltown Row2

Went to the Grand Opera house last night, an old friend of mine had his play in the Baby Grand upstairs in main building.

It's called the Man in the moon, brilliant local play about life in West Belfast (though it would relate to most places), dealing with a lot of current issues. Very well acted by Ciaran Nolan who'd acted in the Pulling moves show and Man about a dog. Last showing tonight but I think this will get another run. 10/10
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

A poor man's Trainspotting. Few laughs in it but too much laid on McEvoy's character to carry the movie.

Acid House is great crack. Another one based on the awesome writing of Irvine Welsh.

Watched This Is The End last night. Pish.

Agree - would be hard to replicate Trainspotting! But, went to see Filth last night - was going to say I "enjoyed" it, but that's not quite the right word! Well worth seeing though & McEyoy is excellent in it.

Would give Filth a 7/10.

Had read the book so half expected what to see. Very good imo but not probably to everyone's taste. McAvoy very good in it.

Welsh's books make better films or so it would seem so far.

This looks like to could be decent.

Watched Captain Phillips the other night. It was probably a 6/10 Hanks very good in it as you'd expect but lot's of filler in places with Pirates shouting at eachother in African which got a bit annoying after a while. I've seen worse though!

Went to that myself a couple of weeks back and really enjoyed it. Definitely a show to be seen on the big screen. Didn't expect to be so engaged for over two hours and my heavily pregnant Mrs sat all the way through it which is saying something! Tom Hanks was excellent as usual! I'd strongly recommend it.
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

Saw it last night and I would agree with that, very good.

I almost fell asleep in the cinema though not sure if was down to the film or fact i was knackered. Saw a Danish film Hijacking on same theme about two weeks before hand and preferred it. Perhaps had something to do with me thinking that Captain Phillips was far from brilliant.
