Irish singer is Australian Idol finalist

Irish singer Damien Leith is currently third favourite to be crowned 'Australian Idol', after making the final ten of the show.

The 30-year-old pharmacist, who hails from Milltown in Co Kildare, now lives in Sydney.

According to bookmakers Centrebet, Leith is now at odds of 6-1 to win the show outright.

Centrebet spokesperson Gerard Daffy said: "There's no reason to think an Irish singer cannot win this year's 'Aussie Idol'. After all, an Irish footballer (Tadhg Kennelly) won last year's Aussie Rules title."

Invictus

If you're after a feelgood boost for February, then this is the ticket to buy.

Astro Boy

It won't stick in the memory like, say, a 'Monsters, Inc' or 'Lilo and Stitch', but 'Astro Boy' is a fairly quick 90 minutes.

Youth in Revolt

Some brilliant moments but sadly, for a film about losing one's virginity, it doesn't go all the way.
