 at 12 p.m. and features some of the best new businesses in Donegal with free admission and loads of giveaways. Why not come along and support your local businesses today? 14 minutes to midday! It's a Saturday morning rewind live from the Clanry Hotel from DLDC's business showcase taking place right here. Doors are opening at 12 midday. We have to say hello to Kay. Kay's hard at work inside in the Clanry Hotel this morning. Hello to UK from Filomena this morning and Sean and Joe Douglas in Castle Derrick. Good morning to you both as well. All right, time to talk movies and I'm delighted to say I'm joined face to face for the first time by Colleen McFadgin. Good morning. Good morning. It's first time for everything. It's first time meeting together. It's the first time I've been to Clanry, not the last time I'd imagine. And before this I knew epoxy could be good. I didn't know it could be epic. So I've learned so much today. There you go. And I haven't even gone in and seen the exhibitions yet. So I'm really looking forward to that as well. We know where you're going right after this. Well, it's great for a porphyry. We don't have any of your fancy backgrounds that you know where we have. No, that's why next time I can send you them so you can look at me and then you can send them because the Zoom, I don't think it does me justice. Although I have no filters on today so you see the real Colleen. Tell us how did National Cinema Day go last weekend? Well, National Cinema Day was a great success. I would say that anyway, but really for a couple of different reasons. There was definitely a sense that there were people who don't normally go to the cinema that came. But also even those that do come were much more adventurous than they usually are. You know, people who are going to go, I'll only go and see something if I'm sure I like it. Went, do you know what? It's four euros. Let's chance our arm. There's a couple of girls that were about 10 years old. I was talking to them and said, what are you going to see? And they said, ET. And I went, oh, have you seen it on Telly and stuff? And she goes, no, actually, we don't really know what it is. My mum said I should see it. And I was going, oh, you're going to have the best time. And of course, please tell me you spoke to them afterwards. I thought it was the greatest movie I've ever made because it's not the Princess Bride, but it's up there. And also, lots of people went, do you know what the heck? We go and see the movie that was all everyone was talking about last week. And to be honest with you, I know we told everyone the reason I wasn't on last week, which is when I was originally scheduled was because of National Cinema Day. And it was so busy. It was actually just that I hadn't recovered from Blackbird. Seeing the Michael Flatley movie. It is such an overwhelming sense of I've never quite seen a movie like that in the cinema. As a matter of fact, even though I'm an alfeller, I went back to college. And I'm supposed to be doing my last year, this year, starting in the 19th September at ATU. And the email me and said, I might have to do a second year, such as the damage to my brain that Blackbird has probably done. It is quite undoubtedly the worst movie I have ever seen in a cinema. However, that is a big statement. And I've seen a lot of movies and you try always try to find some positive. Yeah. And you know, there's other movies that are controversial, like nope, and people go, Oh, that's the worst movie. I go, Yeah, you've obviously only seen three movies. But now don't get this confused with, did I have a good time? I had a great time. It's so rubbish. Like the phrase, oh, so bad. It's good. People say all the time. But that's not usually true. It's usually just bad. Yes. This is so bad. It's good. All he does is fly around the place with it with his hat at a jaunty angle, his shirt on button, and he stands at balconies all the time. He loves the balcony. And then there's a bit where he has his private balcony. It is ludicrous. And he said, balcony, I thought we were going down the road of private parts. No, no, no, no. Well, there's a load of balconies, if you know what I mean, in that case. But it is ridiculous. And look, all nearly all the cinemas in the catchment area, we have to have a cheap day. Don't spend like proper money. And, you know, I'm not one to advise people on their health and so on. But just if you do take a drink out of mountain, that's the way to go and see it. Not totally sober. But what about the accent? Does he keep the accent? Oh, my God, Michael O'Flatley. Everyone's accent is bad. Even Patrick Bergen, who's a great actor, as I said, I'm a big Man United fan, right? And there's been a thing lately of many night have been buying players that were good before they come to Man United and suddenly go rubbish. Michael Flatley is that effect on Patrick Bergen, loads of other actors. Everyone has forgotten. They're just they're just about to manage to remember to look at the camera. Eric Roberts is the exact is the exception. He's going, this is so rubbish. I'm having a great time. He is loving it because he's been in some stinkers in his day. And he's going, what? This is this one's going to the record books. It is awful. And I loved it. And you think this movie is you know, I know it's awful, right? Yeah. I haven't had a single good report about it. I had one person I think it was actually our own vanilla rabbit to say that her eyes were actually stuck in the back of her head because she was rolling her eyes. But supposedly he won Best Actor at the Venice Award. Now, there's a couple of people trying to find out was anybody else nominated? Is there such an award? It is so ludicrously bad. There's even a fight scene that you're building up to. And then they just peer around the corner and you just hear and they walk back again, you know, you didn't even show us the fight. It is so bad. You really should see people. It's gonna make money. They're gonna go and see that. People are gonna watch this for years and quote along with it because it's that bad. There's a famous movie called The Room. That's a very similar thing. They actually made a movie about how bad this movie is. I could see this in 10 years time. People will make the movie about the making of Blackbird. It's gonna be it's gonna be cult. Yeah, when I do the obvious joke, close enough in the letters, but it's so rubbish. I loved it. It's great fun. Please go for next month. Please go and see it. I will. I promise. That's a promise. Right. See how they run. See how they run. Totally the opposite thing of a load of good actors being very good together. Crowned off. We're gonna have quite an Irish team if I haven't talked too much about like Michael Flatley today and Sirius Arona is just brilliant in this. And what this is, it's about the the famous play The Mousetrap. I nearly said The Mousetrap, which is a different movie. Mousetrap in London. It's the longest running play. It's a Agatha Tracy Who Donut. And this is a Who Donut featuring the cast of a Who Donut. So it's jokes within jokes and Sirius Arona plays this cop who's really eager to please, but not very bright, very, very funny. Okay, that's right. See how they run. And we were talking a little bit off here about a movie that is being filmed in or was filmed in Donegal. It's in us all. It's in us all. Now, a real change of pace here. It's very serious movie with a with an English actor called Cosmo Lansman that people might actually think is Irish because he's really brilliant in the movie a while back called Cam with Horses with Barry Cohn. And it's set up in Dunlop. And it's about a young British guy who comes home. I think his mother has just died and he's left some property where she was originally from and he comes home and he's involved in a car accident. Very serious, very dominant. I watched the trailer. It's very impressive. I'd ask people to watch on YouTube. It's quite swary though, but it's real serious drama and it's great to see such local stuff. You know, just Michael Bradley can't fair enough, but Saoirse Ronan is there and then with these Irish movies, a lot of it's the legacy of Game of Thrones and sort of the money places like the LDC and things like that have put in to supporting film around here. And it's brilliant to see we had the Northman not so long ago, which was filmed down near where I live and it's great to see. And hopefully people can support these movies because look it's brilliant with George Clooney and Julia Roberts movie coming up. It's a romantic comedy. It's going to make millions. They're on the Lake Lake show and all that last night and people should go and see it because it looks really good fun, but also it's very important we support these. And can I mention one other Irish movie? Yeah. It's called Russia and Frank. It is literally an Irish movie. It's Oscar and it's about a woman who suddenly finds this dog and she's convinced it is the spirit of our ex-husband. It's a really funny little comedy. I've just watched the trailer. I say I've just watched the trailer. I've watched the trailer about 50 times. It's one of my jobs is to put the trailers into movies and I put it into all the movies. I think this looks brilliant. I don't know if it can repeat sort of on Colleen Kuhn's sort of level of success, which was a huge success here in the North and elsewhere. It's much more a jaunty family comedy, but I think people will love this and I know people are put off by subtitles. You know if it's Irish or English. This is mostly in Irish, but it's English subtitles, but everyone can understand it. It looks absolutely lovely and that's out next week as well. So I think it's next week for Russia and Frank and then it's the following week for It's In Us All and it probably is not playing in old cinemas. It's getting a limited release, but I know it's definitely playing in a few cinemas here in the Northwest and hopefully when people realize it's a local movie that often happens that there's an interest and if you ring up your cinema, this is something people don't always know. If you ring or email your cinema and say, I'd really like to see this, would you be thinking again? You can change their mind because often they just go and go, I don't know if people would come and watch this. If people watch Blackbird, they will definitely watch this. Brilliant. Okay, so lots coming up, lots playing and lots coming up. When are you back with us? I'm back in three weeks time where you will probably only have seen Blackbird two or three times and we'd be talking, we'd definitely be talking. Probably Avatar has been re-released ahead of a big Christmas sequel, which is a movie called Mrs. Horace Goes to Paris and a lot of people probably think is that the nightclub in Bandurin, but most certainly it is not a very different movie if that was the case. We think that's going to be quite a big one, not that in the 30th September and I think we're back on on the days of September. Yeah, the first of October. First of October, we will look forward to that. Colleen McFadgin, as always, thanks so much for joining us and we'll talk to you first of October. Thanks for having me. All right, that's Colleen McFadgin there talking us through all of the upcoming and current cinema releases and as he said, we'll be back probably via Zoom next first of October, which is in three short weeks time.
