If it was raining soup, the Irish would go out with forks
Brendan Behan
If you're at all well-versed in your Irish history, you'll know that at one point a few years back (the exact date escapes me just at present, but I'll Wikipedia it before the end of the review) the Irish had a bit of a famine, from which the population has never really recovered. With breathtaking originality, the Irish have taken to calling this 'The Great Famine'. Could this population disaster have been averted if they'd had Smash? Well, yes. But there's no telling the Irish anything, especially where processed mashed potato is concerned.
Most of the country learnt lessons from this: they grew some crops other than potatoes, they shunted the British landlords off to a small and unfriendly corner of the island, and they bought in ...
the masses.
Anyone has read this and the DaVinci book will know it won't take long to convert the book into a screenplay. If ever a writer wrote for the book of the film then it's this guy. But those authors who criticize his books, and there are many, are just angry because no ones buying their books because this is what 90% of readers actually want. Any method that introduces reading and history to people who never pick up books has to be good.

stranded by circumstance. Spielberg?s aim is obviously to make a Capra-esque feel-good film. To achieve this end, he has mixed the cream of the Hollywood crop with an appealing bunch of largely unknown supporting actors to create a group of sympathetic characters. And then he plonked them down in a fully functional facsimile of an airport terminal. Though it may look real, the whole thing was built in an aircraft hangar in California, decked out with all of the usual retail outlets and departure boards and peopled with a crack team of extras. If I hadn?t known otherwise, I would have been convinced it was real.
I?m not a big fan of Tom Hanks. Though I enjoyed his performance in ?The Ladykillers?, I usually find him terribly bland. That isn?t his fault, it?s just that he plays a good everyman and that tends to be what he?s cast as. Viktor ...
