29/06/14 Calvary (2014)
Spent the whole of this film thinking it was called 'Cavalry' and wondering what the title had to do with anything. Then I saw it was Calvary, which is apparently the place Jesus died. Now it makes much more sense.

05/02/13 What Richard Did (2012)
*Spoilers*
A mostly excellent Irish film about a double murderer (one gerbil, one human) and the effect that seemingly small acts can have in the immediate and long term.
The Richard of the title is an 18yr old lad from a good family living in an idyllic portrait of youth: beach parties, disposable income, good looks, popularity, mobility and a bright looking future.
One night, he attends a party where alcohol blurs perception and emotions run high, leading to an (unintentionally) fatal confrontation. The remainder of the film is an exploration of how Richard deals with the repercussions of his actions and highlights the burden of guilt he carries.
The acting, by the whole cast, is superb, and elevates what could be a mundane film into the realms of a highly recommended one.

Right, that's enough serious wank. Here's some pictures:

Ireland. A nation separated by history, religion and cheese counters. Fuck those White-Hats!
"You just don't understand me! I'm not like the other petrol stations!"
The Irish. Drinking heavily. Just in case you wasn't sure.
