LAST WEEK'S SINDO
Another article about how 'great' the Irish film industry is. This time it's last week's Sunday independent newspaper. Lots of new titles on the way, but the problem is that none are of much interest. Haywire is a Hollywood movie made here, Albert Nobbs is another. Byzantium is Neil Jordan's latest but his best work is long gone. Shadow dancer seems to be some kind of Irish movie with international leads? At swim-two-birds is actor Gleeson's pet project and no doubt will impress those who've not read the book! Can a song save your life? is Carney's new movie but is not Irish. Parked is the latest Colm Meaney vehicle. Asterix 4 is shooting here too, nothing Irish about that one! That's it (for the big-budget ones anyway). No doubt one or two will be good and the rest rubbish and straight to DVD?
