Not heading to Coachella – Why not Couchella instead?
With Coachella kicking off again this weekend, you may feel some serious FOMO as you’re scrolling through all the pictures on Instagram; especially when instead of partying in your cowboy boots and fringed jacket, you’re at The Barge Pub on the Grand Canal or Dollymount Strand working on those T-shirt tan lines.
To help ease the pangs of jealousy you feel while re-watching Beyonce’s performance for the 23rd time, why not have your own Couchella (or Couch Eile as Gaeilge) weekend from the solace of your own home – with not a portaloo in sight.
Couchella is the perfect event for those of us not heading off to California this weekend. Rather than standing in queues to see your favourite artist, you can enjoy them from the comfort of your living room. No elbowing to get to the front of the line here or having to fork out for an overpriced hot dog, with Couchella, your favourite bag of Tayto will hit the spot.
See below for the Netflix Couchella line up: Continue Reading »

Film Review: The Cured
Frances Winston reviews this Irish film about zombies, and finds it comes up short.
Directed by: David Freyne – Starring: Sam Keeley, Ellen Page, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor

In the zombie sub-genre, this danger is somewhat multiplied, given the nature of the beasties featured. There’s a fine line between The Walking Dead and the Thriller video, and not everyone finds the balance. Continue Reading »
