Balcony TV: Meet the quirky Bec Laughton
Today, we’re in Brisbane for our Balcony TV review. Bec Laughton performed her song ‘Now or Never’, which was broadcast on 6th November for us Balcony TV viewers to catch. Or as the song may be known to some people ‘Shoo Be Doo’ (once you listen, you’ll know why!).
The Road (2009) – Review
Cormac McCarthy’s typically bleak and challenging novels pose a unique test to any director in today’s department, primarily for their tightly restraint and oppressively dark atmospheres. The Coen brothers certainly deserved every bit of praise and award for their 2007 masterpiece No Country for Old Men; a harrowing, cold and brutal cat-and-mouse thriller about a man on the run from a sadistic hit-man in pursuit of a suitcase full of money.

“We’ll queue from 8am, yeah, I know, it’s a bit mad, but sure, it’s something different, and it’ll be a bit of craic.” The exact words I uttered to my friend a few weeks back as we planned out our entrance strategy to the Monster Pit at Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball. Turns out I only half lied as a trip to Camp Gaga Dublin on Friday night saw a minor rearrangement as 5am became the new 8am.
Gangnam style
Recently a video has dominated YouTube. “Gangnam Style” by Psy, a k-pop artist has amassed over 187 million views, and this continues to grow steadily, with no signs of slowing!
