Here’s another in a growing list of films I was to see in the next few weeks.
I think the only thing cuter than kittens are baby monkeys! Project Nim is in theatres this weekend and is a documentary telling of a baby chimp taken from his mother and is taught how to communicate with humans through sign language. He goes to live with a family in New York in the 1970s. I remember seeing something about this when I was about 7 or 8 on a Saturday morning tv show, I thought it was cool!
I had the pleasure of interviewing actor Demian Bichir for Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM. During our chat we chatted about Demian’s new film ‘A Better Life’, what he thought of filming The Runway in Co Cork and he also shared how he gained and lost weight for his roles as an actor. He comes across as a really nice gentle guy.
Part of this interview was orignially broadcast on RTE 2XM on August 10th, this is our full unedited telephone call. Enjoy!

I’m going to be honest here, samba spectaculars aren’t really something that I would associate with Phil Lynott, or the celebration of his birthday.
Here’s the blurb:
On Phil Lynotts birthday, Saturday 20th August, at 6pm MaSamba dance and music troupe will put on a spectacular street pageant to celebrate the life and work of the Thin Lizzy legend. 90 dancers and members of Masamba will form a street pageant, called The Boys Are Back In Town, on Grafton Street, Dublin performing Thin Lizzy hits.
The troupes incredible carnival costumes are being created in Sao Paolo, Brazil and will represent the different songs; Elvis outfits for The King, Celtic warriors for Emerald and heavy metal leather jackets, electric guitars and more for The Boys Are Back In Town. (more…)
