The Red Door Film Festival is a new festival in Thomastown, County Kilkenny which
will be focusing on ‘a new way of looking at movies’. The aim of this festival is to take
cinema out of its natural habitat and present it in new and unusual environments,
including a drive-in, backdrop projections in pubs and restaurants (some with live
music). The idea behind this is to review the concept of cinema-going and create an
alternative collective experience of the moving image.

PULP FICTION” is everything it’s said to be: brilliant and
brutal, funny and exhilarating, jaw-droppingly cruel and
disarmingly sweet. Quentin Tarantino, the postmodern Boy
Wonder of American crass culture, for whom the only thing
to fear is boredom itself, has produced a work of mesmerizing
entertainment. To watch this movie is to experience a
near-assault of creativity. The multi-plot story, whose
almost-Escherian design becomes apparent as the movie
progresses, is too involved to outline. Essentially, the film’s a narrative circle of
interconnecting, time-jumping episodes, in which various pulp-fictional gangsters
molls and palookas deal with bizarre occurrences in their lives. In the end, everything
comes together in a multi-ironic Tarantino reverie. The never-a-dull-moment drama
is propelled by its crazy-casting dream team: Samuel L. Jackson is unforgettable as a
philosophical killer who quotes Ezekial before his ritual executions. Uma Thurman
serenely unrecognizable in a black wig, is marvelous as a zoned-out gangster’s
girlfriend. Bruce Willis is a pug-faced charm as an aging boxer who refuses to throw
a fight. And who knew John Travolta would produce the sweetest performance of
his career as a good-natured goon?
With the musical genre losing it relevance in modern film
“Grease” is one of the last in a golden decade of an innocent
time where musicals were cinematic operas invoking human
emotions, pain, joy, and excitement and “Grease” is a film
that’s immortal for its unbridled enthusiasm and top notch
production that makes it arguably the best musical ever made.
