MAD MEN AND WOMEN


The brilliant MAD MEN is back tonight on RTE at 12 midnight.....12 midnight what kind of fools are they in RTE who watches stuff at 12 midnight?I am at an age now where I need all the sleep I can get or else I get very grumpy.I suppose I will take a little nap earlier and wake up fresh for Don Draper and Betty and all the gang......great tv though.

Neglected irish film


Our first film of 2011 in athy film club was SMALL ENGINE REPAIR an irish film from 2006 and it was brilliant.I read an article recently on irish films and apparently it did not do well in the box office on its release, THIS IS A SHAME.It had a great soundtrack one of the best I have heard in a long time, see it on dvd if you can you could probably but it on amazon for a fiver....really
.Busy time at the old film club we are showing THE PIPE on sat.22 jan.looking forward to it big time.As usual the director is coming to host a Q&A its getting to the stage where we take it for granted that the director will show up for our saturday night specials....long may it last.
Back again in a couple of days
