The Killruddery Film Festival takes place this weekend, in Killruddery House. It’s a festival with a difference as it specialises in silent film (as well as the classics). The silent films that are shown are all accompanied by live music. This years festival will screen South, a 1920 documentary about Shackleton’s expedition to the the south pole. John Ford fans are in for a treat too as The Informer and The Iron Horse will also screen. The full programme can be found here. This year they will have in attendance, Kevin Brownlow probably the worlds greatest expert in silent film, the legendary Maurice Galway, Stephen Horne and Morgan Cooke who will be the musicians accompanying all the silent film. Best of luck to the crew on the festival.

Frances Ha (15)
(Noah Baumbach, 2012, Us) Greta Gerwig, Mickey Sumner, Michael Esper. 86 mins
Gerwig does a winning line in klutzy/ditzy in what's essentially a tailor-made showcase for her natural comic talents. An aspiring dancer whose sense of fun is starting to look a lot like immaturity, Frances is having trouble negotiating that tricky stage between studenthood and adulthood. A very minor crisis, admittedly, but this is more about character and tone, and Gerwig's New York misadventures are rendered with a casual verve that brings to mind the French New Wave or Manhattan-era Woody Allen.
The Wolverine (12A)
(James Mangold, 2013, Us) Hugh Jackman, Rila Fukushima. 126 mins
The X-badass rips into Japan in this solo adventure, but while Jackman's as mean and buff as ever, the story feels a little long in the claw,...

The World's End (15)
(Edgar Wright, 2013 UK) Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, Rosamund Pike. 109 mins
Wright brings another Hollywood scenario down to earth by virtue of an utterly British setting, and the clash is still hilarious. Especially for the 1990s generation, since this sees Pegg and co attempting to relive their youth with an indie-dance-backed pub crawl down memory lane. Has their hometown changed because of high-street homogenisation, robotic infiltration, or the effects of 12 pints? All three, it turns out.
Breathe In (15)
(Drake Doremus, 2013, Us) Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Amy Ryan. 97 mins
As he did with Like Crazy, Doremus tells an age-old story with uncanny intimacy and powerful acting, particularly from Jones. Playing an exchange student in New England, she's drawn to Pearce's musician dad, with inevitable consequences.
