Any good Irish-based film blogs?

Smashius_Clay

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any independently-run, Irish-based film blogs or websites? I was considering starting one myself, and I'd just like to know what the standard is out there. Preferably one that did reviews.

It wouldn't even have to be exclusively about film; if there's a website you'd recommend that deals with different cultural topics - film, music, art - I'd like to check it out.

Cheers!

Cheers, I'll check it out. By the way, I didn't mean specifically about Irish film, I meant about film in general, but ran by Irish people. Just to clear that up.

A couple of lads I know do it - I enjoy it.

That's good because that's about the only blog I know that's purely about Irish film.

I'd like to think that my own http://www.scannain.com is pretty alright.

My cousin's site krank.ie is on that. They've got a pretty decent entertainment section with a lot of film stuff in it.

As of today I've started Admining this site (did somebody say... NEPOTISM?!?!?!?!)
Anyone interested in writing anything film related; be it a review or barely literate rant feel free to PM me.

I also read this one:

Novel enough premise. Two reviewers: one positive and one negative. Always interesting to read.

Integrity be damned. I'm not above a bit of shameless self-promotion. If everyone else is doing it, I'm going to add my blog to the mix.
