SCIENCE-FICTION, melodrama, comedy, the road movie; big name directors David Cronenberg and Lars Von Trier; and stars such as Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Auteuil, Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, and Michael Fassbender, will all feature in the Galway Film Society’s winter/spring season.

As one of the most anticipated movies of the year, especially for Marvel fans who have been practically salivating, it is safe to say that X-Men: First Class has lived up to the hype, providing an experience which is action-packed and engaging while adding something a little different.

THE MAN behind the Ocean’s 11 soundtrack and possibly the finest DJ and film composer that has ever come out of Ireland, will be DJing in Kelly’s.

With breathtaking scenery, thrills and blood spills galore this film could have been the next Gladiator but sadly there was just too much carnage during the non-stop fight or flight scenes, not enough development of characters, and a less than impressive ending.

Watching grown men smear walls with faeces with their bare hands, hardly elicits thoughts of beauty, and yet, somehow you walk away from Steve McQueen’s Hunger feeling just that.

THE GALWAY Film Fleadh is celebrating its 21st birthday this year and from Tuesday July 7 to Sunday 12, it will host world premieres, special tributes, Irish and international features, documentaries and shorts, with a prestigious array of actors, directors, and filmmakers in attendance.

THE AWARD winning actor Michael Fassbender, who has starred in 300 and Hunger, will give this year’s Galway Film Fleadh Actors’ Masterclass on Saturday July 11.

AS AN actor, Michael Fassbender has been living a soldier’s life these past 10 years. Since appearing in Band Of Brothers, the Kerryman has gone on to star as a Greek warrior in 300, as IRA MP and hunger striker Bobby Sands in Hunger, and in August we will see him back on the big screen as a British army officer in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

‘The Basterds’ are a motley crew of vengeful Jewish-American soldiers and a deranged German turncoat, led by the brutal and determined Lt Aldo Raine who wants his 100 Nazi scalps. It’s brilliant, bloody, darkly funny, with brilliant acting. To sum it up, if you’ve forgotten what great film making is, then this Quentin Tarantino film will certainly remind you.
