It’s no secret that here at Culch.ie, we’ve been huge fans of the irritatingly talented Devious Theatre troup for a number of years. Not only are they brave enough to stage the likes of Cannibal: The Musical, Trainspotting, War of the Worlds (as well as a considerable amount of original material), they manage to do [...]

I should probably throw down my thoughts on Dark Shadows as quickly as possible – the more I think about the film, the more flaws I find to pick at and the the more that initial lustre of having seen a shiny new film fades to a dull, tarnished some-film-I-once-saw shade. Dark Shadows was a [...]

*** Competition Closed – Winners will be notified shortly *** *** Congratulations to Colin, Gary, Dave and Caroline *** I am a huge fan of Jeff Dunham. Yes, like everyone else, I fell in love with that cookie little go-getter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, long before I knew that Jeff Dunham likes to stick [...]

We’re huge fans of the 80s supergroup Spring Break at Culch.ie. Playing the biggest American 80s hits even better than the originals, every single time we’ve been to see them has been an amazing night. Yes, that is me getting into the action (thanks to @cloudsteph for the awesome hair). That’s one of the most [...]

“Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh, totally emotionless except for her heart.” Truer words were never spoken. “Millions of peaches, peaches for me; millions of peaches, peaches for free.” Words to live your life by. Ok, so the Presidents of the United States of America were never the most profound songwriters, but there’s no [...]

This is lovely. I always love the TED Talks and this one is no different. It’s a glimpse into the mind of a great story teller as tries to explain what makes the greatest stories. Andrew Stanton is the writer of Disney’s newest film, John Carter, but he is responsible for Toy Story, Finding Nemo, [...]

I‘ve seen some fine theatre in the past week, including Bookworms in the Abbey, The Master Builder in The New Theatre and The Goddess of Liberty in the Project Arts Theatre. Below is my video review of the latter two plays. I’d love to hear what you think. Both The Master Builder and The Goddess [...]

Hi there gorgeous, So, Valentine’s Day. Starry-eyed loser, star-crossed lover or cross-eyed malcontent, you’re bound to have an opinion on it, yes? Be it a memory, a barely-concealed urge to vomit, a poem for your other half that makes the rest of us vomit, a scribbled note on what a perfect valentine’s would be for [...]

This is my first video review for Culch.ie, so I would appreciate any feedback you have, not just on the review but also on my irritating voice and awkward looking face. Camille O’Sullivan’s Changeling is a superb album, featuring a wonderful artist in her prime. Check out what else I have to say about her [...]

Wonderfully melodramatic, magnificently performed, tender and touching – I can’t wait for part 2. Except, there won’t be one. Phyllida Lloyd‘s The Iron Lady, with Meryl Streep in the roll of political giant Margaret Thatcher, is an unfinished film. It’s an openly emotional look at the personal life of the colossus, but it barely glances [...]

I wouldn’t usually post items like this, but…last week, I was in Dubai and one of the features of my week was to visit the top of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Today, I watched some behind the scenes footage of Tom Cruise actually abseiling (and generally bouncing around) on the [...]
