"What makes a film great?" The answer is simple.
Great film like any other form of great art must
evoke an emotional response, good or bad.
It's got to move me, make me question why
this is so and what it says about me
as an individual.
I have called the blog "Celluoid Heroes".

American film at its best. A performance like Jennifer Lawrence produced deserved an Oscar. To carry the amount of story she did was remarkable for one so young.

David Byrne walks out on stage with a tape recorder and a guitar. He puts down the recorder and says.... Hi this is a tape I want to play. Byrne bends down, presses play and begins to gently stamp his feet. The Heads are Talking!

The cradle of all ideas. I might as well use my favourite movie line as it's probably the most apt way to describe it. "You are only as good as the people you're with" (Down Terrace).
Everything else in the world goes out the window when you spend two days on the lash with this lot. While I adore every minute with them it comes at at a savage cost to my health. The upside is that the things they say with normality are the craziest lines of dark Irish humour you'll ever hear. I am blessed.
