Dublin and Belfast Quidditch Teams Heading for Tournaments in Europe

Over the past few months I have tried to keep you up to date with this exciting new sport and it’s development in Ireland, and more recently Northern Ireland. It had humble regional beginnings in a university in Galway and the national team fought bravely in last year’s World Cup. But the sport has come […]

Gilmore Girls Classic Series – ReWatch

With a four part return to Stars Hollow being the latest in Neflix’s slew of specials, there seems no better time to watch the old series. The show’s recent 15th anniversary started the whirlwind news that almost the entire cast were returning and fans couldn’t be happier. With seven seasons and thousands of confusing cultural […]

‘Better’- Regina Spektor – Track of the Day

Christmas-time with all it’s stress, crowd squashing and repetitive music is almost upon us. I’m no scrooge and I enjoy the season as much as anybody. Yet sometimes you just need to take a music break from it all that doesn’t involve Mariah Carey, Santa or feeding the world. There’s lots of relaxing music out […]

American Horror Story S6 Ep 10 ‘Roanoke’ Review – Chapter 10

The last episode of the season was better than I expected after the previous episode. That said, it had some of the same issues of the previous set of episodes. Of its pros, it does that much hoped for connecting with other series with Asylum‘s Lana Winters. It also puts the scare factor back up a […]

Quidditch: Ireland’s Up and Coming Sport

Although rumours of a Quidditch movie made on location in Wexford are far from true, Quidditch is making its way into Ireland. At present there are at least five active teams in the country. Most are associated with universities, much like how the sport sprung up in America. Dublin city alone has three teams (DIT?), […]

Nerd Icon – Emma Watson

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is probably best known as Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. Yet she’s so much more than that, with a experience in both film and academia. She’s an active feminist and all round good doer. I wasn’t always the biggest Emma fan, believing her acting was in her eyebrows alone. But […]

A Monster Calls Review

A Monster Calls is a touching piece of cinema, with just the right amount of sentimentality and inspiring strength coming from its 12 year old narrator. It is a honest story about how life is hard and it’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to “believe comforting lies”. The film raises an interesting question of […]

American Horror Story S6 Ep 9 ‘Roanoke’ Review – Chapter 9

Overall, this episode was a bit of a letdown, bringing in even more unnecessary hand-held recording and characters. The episode returns to the Roanoke farm and it’s haunting inhabitants, only to focus once again on the people drama. That being said, it did make more use of ‘The Colony’ than usual.  Up to this point, […]

David Yates Confirmed to Direct 19 More Years Of The Wizarding World?

As Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them gets it’s New York premiere, quotes by its director have been once again stretched to their capacity. While previous reports resulting from quotes concerning Dumbledore appearing in film two have proven true, Yates comments have been blown out of all proportion. David Yates, who has directed four Harry […]

Johnny Depp’s Role In Fantastic Beasts 2 Confirmed

Confirmations for the Fantastic Beasts sequel are coming in thick and fast now that casting has begun. Confirmations like these don’t generally happen so fast, but with rumours spreading like dragon fire about who Johnny Depp had been cast at, it suits Director David Yates to confirm his role. Once again the fan girls and boys […]
