The one with my take on Righteous Kill

Got to see Righteous Kill yesterday and getting to see De Niro and Pacino on screen at the same time, on the same screen is always a good thing. Or is it??

In a nutshell, De Niro and Pacino play cops. They've been partners since  T-Rex's were thundering about the planet. The movie starts with De Niro in an interview scenario saying he killed 14 people in his 30 years as an NYPD officer. From there on in, we get a dose of flash backs of  those killings. The rest of the story sees De Niro and Pacino along with John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg bicker back and forth about whos doing the killings. And then the pressure is on, once the suddenly figure out its a cop. Throw in the occasional scene with Brian Dennehy, 50 Cent and some steamy(ish) sex with Carla Gugino and you've got a movie that was billed as something fantastic. Actually, scrap the steamy(ish) sex bit, its not even worth opening a belt for!

Is it fantastic? Its got all the right elements, but doesn't entirely live up to the hype. 2 of the greatest actors the world has ever known pull off a performance that doesn't do much really. Id imagine they can pull off this sort of performance off in their sleep, or even if they were in a coma. I'm not saying its bad, but it could have been alot better. Ive heard and read about this movie where some say the ending is quite predictable. Well, I didn't see it coming. Admittedly, my brain was switched off for the movie, so being in idiot mode probably didn't help.

All the same, I enjoyed the ending and I enjoyed the movie. Its not a big pile of steaming shite in any shape or form and if you go see it, leave part of your brain at the door. I was really looking forward to this as a fan of Pacino and De Niro, and seeing the 2 of them share a whole load of screen time together will be  a pants removing moment for a lot of people. I got the vibe from the trailer that this was gonna be a great movie. Its not, but it'll keep you off the streets! Is it worth going to see? Well De Niro and Pacino together are the big draw here and yeah, its worth going to see. Just dont expect a Taxi Driver or Scarface like performance from the lads. You wont be foaming at the mouth with excitement, but you'll enjoy it all the same.

And yes, it is great seeing De Niro and Pacino on screen together. Lets just hope they dont do a fuckin comedy together.

The one with Letterman and McCain

As any one who knows me or has read the blog for any amount of time, one of my all time heroes is David Letterman. Well he's done it again, this time with John McCain. You might well get a kick out of this...

The one with [FILL IN YOUR OWN TITLE]

The world must be coming to an end. 4 days of sunshine. Yeah, you read that right. 4 full days of sunshine. Is there anybody taking bets on how long this is gonna last?

Anyway, the first round of the Victor Barry Competitive Consumption challenge took place last night, with yours truly taking the win after downing a litre of water in 46 seconds. Not to be tried at home. Really and truly felt like my lungs were gonna come up as well as the chicken I had for dinner. One of the many dumb things Ive done over the years on air. And it was certainly near the top. I reckon I could have shaved 6-7 seconds off it, if I didnt stop half way through to talk shite.

Anyway, this is the way it should be done....

The one with a radio station on fire

Hats off to the jock!

The one with the Irish Web Awards nomination

Good news to end a Tuesday with. 

Redfm.ie has just got short listed for the Irish web awards.

The one with Super Langer

Really, its time to get off the couch...anyways from a few posts back. The Marvel create a superhero yoke....

The one with something about nothing!

Well, its Tuesday. I'm sure nobody needs to be reminded that it is a Tuesday, particularly on a blog. So what shall I write / blog about today?

Maybe it'll be about how I seem to be stuck to the couch with a phenomenal, unwillingness to move. Even though I should move, because Ive got shit to do!

Maybe it'll be about how I should have went to bed after I got home last night, as opposed to watching about 3 hours of Runs house.

Maybe it'll be about how I just cant seem to balance the damn laptop in a comfortable, albeit lazy position on my lap.

Maybe it'll be about how some people really havent got a clue, about anything! But think they do!

Maybe it'll be about how Ive watched far too much Terminator: Sarah Conor Chronicles

Maybe it'll be about how I should really open the blinds and bathe the room in sunlight.

Maybe it'll be about how Im running out of maybe it'll be abouts.

Maybe it'll be about nothing!!!!!

If you've read this far, you, like I have wasted some time! And thats a good thing! Possibly!

The one with Viva Obama

The one with the before 8pm WTF

The one with nominations and Polar Bear security

As Im sure many of you know by know, RedFM got 9 nominations for the Irish Radio Oscars, so fingers crossed! And speaking of awards, the Irish Web Awards shortlist is out tomorrow andRedFM.ie is longlisted already in the best radio web site category, so even more fingers crossed we'll make that shortlist as well!

On another note, Im about to launch a new product in the coming weeks. The PBHSS will be THE alarm system to own this winter. Not only is it rescuing polar bears from starvation, but it gives them a new career move as well!
