Cork born writer/director Margaret Corkery's first feature film Eamon is set to go on sale at retail outlets nationwide on November 19th for €9.99. For those of you who missed this brilliant dark comedy the first time round, Eamon revolves around the character of the same name, a quiet but disturbed 6 year old who can't handle his Coke (...as in Cola), wonderfully played by newcomer Robert Donnelly. When his feisty mother and dull but doting daddy bring him on a holiday, Eamon's fervent affections for his mother ensure that his daddy is left nursing a severe case of sexual frustration.

Understated with a sharp sense of humour, if you missed it the first time,...

Curioser and Curioser.. First off, the world premier of road trip comedy Bunny & The Bull which we reported on a Long time ago. Next is Gaspar Noé's Cannes premierer Enter the Void which didn't fare too well.. I'm betting this is a new edit. The winner of the grand jury prize at Cannes, Un Prophete will have a special screening. Hugo Weaving's gritty Aussie thriller Last Ride (we'll have a review up soon, got a screener!) is also playing along with another flick from down under we've been clocking, Beautiful Kate. Let's not forget the world premier of Yoichi Sai's ninja flick Kamui.. plus so many more!
