Culchie Christmas Catch-Up

Ladies and gentlemen  the Christmas season is almost at an end and while we’ve been very busy entertaining ourselves in order to keep you entertained in the past months we’re taking a little relaxation time.   Things might be a little quiet around here for the next week what with all those TV movie repeats,  turkey [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (14)

There are some sore heads this morning after an early start on the #dubcrawl trail hence the delayed Catch-Up this week.  (Ouchy).
So what happened this week? Charleze Theron handed a sneaky victory to Ireland. The Top Gear Live show is attracting thousands. Electric Picnic tickets went on sale and I couldn’t get my [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (13)

You know, it comes to Tuesday every week and I think ‘I must start the Catch-up’ but inevitably I put it on the long finger until Friday morning comes around when I scramble, bleary eyes and uncaffeinated to put the post together. I’ll be better next week, pinky swear!

FYI we will be Live [...]

In honour of Screen Cinema’s season of musicals and the December 25th release of Rob Marshall’s musical, Nine, we have decided to open up the Top Five to our favourite musicals.
Now, we are talking about movie musicals only – there are plenty of strange and wonderful stage productions that have yet to grace the [...]

Which part of Henry’s hand isn’t touching the ball?
Sports
Look at us, we have a sports section this week!  Some people are calling it Handball Gate others are inspired to create poetry and poor old Anto is simply outraged.

Only a few days to go before the general release of the frankly terrifying [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (11)

Three very important things occurred to me this week while I prepared the catch-up. Firstly everyone and yes I mean YOU should go see Terminus, the new play in the Peacock Theatre in Dublin. Don’t make me come over there!
Secondly, what a brilliant vital tool the new youth website Reachout.com is for young people. Yes, [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (10)

Burrrrrr it’s cold out lately but we’ve been keeping very busy to keep our temperatures up and  to ward of  the dreaded Piglet Flu.  Apparently 30,000 people contracted Swine Flu this week. Something just squeals tales of self-diagnosis for a few free days in bed.
Music
Do a boy a favour and throw some questions at [...]

Culchie Catch-Up (7)

It’s Friday, again. Where do the weeks go? As we move closer to Halloween, the Oktober Fest continues and there’s some fun events to look out for over the next few weeks, not least of all The Chocolate Festival (more to come on that this week).
But as the weekend closes in and it draws  near [...]

Two Sheets to the Wind: Top 5 Vampire Movies

For the month that’s in it our Top-5’s are all scary ghoulish themes.
Last week we had the Top 5 Zombie Movies and some disagreements about the exclusion of The Evil Dead series from our list. This week it’s all about the Vampires.
I am a huge fan of the Vampyre, from the classically kitsch to [...]

Two Sheets To The Wind: Top 5 Movies of the 80s

Right off the bat, this seemed like it was going to be an easy post to do. There’s a bunch of 80s movies that love. I would do a long list and whittle it down to my top 5 and a few honourable mentions.
Then I asked the question – should this list be the top [...]

24 REM busting films you might want to avoid. Or maybe not…

A number of weeks ago I was watching one of the Rental Boys episodes on the RTE website . One of the characters in the particular episode had a scene with a customer where he talked about his favourite film, Requiem for a Dream. I’d never heard of it but put it on my [...]
