There’s 3 movies out this week in Irish cinemas. It takes brave films to go up against a goliath like Avatar and we can excuse film producers for not wishing their pet projects be released this week. That said there are 2 movies out other than the one with the blue aliens, and one of them is actually rather good.

It’s Tuesday so that means it’s DVD day. We have quite a selection box of treats this week on the DVD front including a major summer blockbuster, an inoffensive if poor kids movie, an atypical Sandra Bullock rom-com and decent horror flick. Also out are two new releases from the BBC in our TV section. So a little something for all you fellow couch potatoes.

‘Whip It’ is the directorial debut by Drew Barrymore and evolved from a script based on a Shauna Cross novel called ‘Derby Girl’. Featuring Barrymore, Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig and Andrew Wilson; it’s a coming of age story set in the world of mayhem on wheels aka Roller Derby. To the uninitiated Roller Derby is an American invented contact sport based on formation skating around an oval track. Points are scored as certain players overtake members of an opposing team. Featuring humorous pseudonyms and rockabilly/burlesque inspired uniforms; It’s fun, fast, raucous and often punctuated with fights between the players. Nearly all contemporary roller derby leagues are all-female, self-organized and it’s one of the few sports in the world that is entirely run by and for the players.

This week sees the release of 3 big movies including the latest from Robert Downey Junior and Bruce Willis, as well as a remake of a 1980′s classic. First up is Fame, a remake of Alan Parker’s 1980 Academy Award winning musical drama of the same name. Anyone who grew up in the 80′s will be familiar with the central premise as the original movie spawned a long running TV series. The story centres around a talented group of dancers, singers, actors, etc. over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts. Cue lots of singing, dancing and elaborately over-the-top choreography. The students form friendships and compete with each other leading them to push themselves to the edge and beyond. The cast is replete … There’s more →
