EA Games have announced the final two Harry Potter games; “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1″ and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2″ are being developed to coincide with the final two films. The first part will be released this Autumn, seeing how the film’s release date is November 19th then this more than likely means late October. Here’s the official blurb: With all the action taking place outside of Hogwarts for the first time, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 represents a shift in tone for the Harry Potter games. On the run with a horde of merciless enemies on their tail, players will find themselves in unknown territory, far from the safety of the school grounds, fighting for survival at every turn.

I sat watching the RTÉ Concert Orchestra perform Looney Tunes tunes yesterday. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Those that know me will generally say three things - the first is not suitable for a family friendly site, the second would be enthusiastic and the third is that I’m a big child sometimes. That’s very true. I like to think there’s a wonder, a surprise, a revelation and above all something to enjoy in everything. Yesterday certainly fit into those criteria. I loved Looney Tunes as a child. Never a Disney kid really, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Tom & Jerry, Road Runner and Wile E Coyote were always on RTÉ and therefore always on my to-watch list. I’ll still sit and watch Elmer chase Bugs, watch Daffy try his oneupmanship on Bugs and watch Wile E construct the most elaborate contraptions available from … There’s more →

Last night I had the great pleasure of seeing Casablanca on the big screen, in The Screen cinema on D’Olier Street. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. The Hollywood glamour of the beautiful Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), the stunning clothes, the multi cultural setting in Casablanca where many people are waiting to escape to America via the one flight a day to Lisbon, the backdrop of World War II, the soft focus shots on the beautiful girl and her big, sad eyes, the stolen moments together, the heartbreak, the drama! Casablanca won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture despite the fact that it … There’s more →

‘My Sister’s Keeper’ tells the tale of Anna Fitzgerald, a 13 year old girl who is fed up being used as a donor for her older sister Kate and decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body. Anna was engineered to be an exact match for her sister to try to save her from leukaemia. Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and injections to help her sister, Kate, fight leukaemia. Anna was born for this purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they love her even more. But now she can’t help but wonder what her life would be like if it weren’t tied to her sister’s…and so she makes a decision that for most, at any age, would be too difficult to bear, and sues her parents for the rights … There’s more →
