In a previous post I outlined the reasons why I was backing the Tuam based comedy-drama “Lucky Run” and indeed I urge you to vote for the lads again as every vote counts.

Russell Crowe to direct Ellroy Screenplay
Totally robbed this from the guardian site but as an avid fan of James Ellroy I’m keen to see this happen. Obviously L.A.

Look At Me!!!!!
So I have been pretty shameless in how I have used this blog as a self-promotion tool and some people may be uncomfortable with such brazen self-aggrandizing.

The Pipe on TG4
TG4 will broadcast Risteard O’Domhnaill’s “The Pipe” this Wednesday at 9:30. It’s an incredible film about the Shell to Sea campaign. If you haven’t seen it yet, you are seriously missing out. The film has been a huge success for Risteard, starting with sell out runs and awards at the Galway Film Fleadh and going…
