This week our reviewers went to see Breakfast on Pluto, Neil Jordan's new film starring a host of Irish actors including Brendan Gleeson, Gavin Friday, Liam Neeson and Stephen Rae. Cillian Murphy takes the lead role of Patrick 'Kitten' Braden as a clever but tough transvestite from the Northwest of Ireland. The role resulted in a Golden Globe Nomination for Cillian Murphy and has been a huge hit both in Ireland and America. Our reviewers adored the soundtrack and thought it was most definitely worth a trip to the cinema for.
Wednesday January 25th
We look at the life and music of Johnny Cash and review the biopic of his life Walk the Line starring Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as his wife June Carter Cash. The film has been nominated for a number of Oscars and with the stars doing their own music vocals, it is definitely unmissable.
