Perth, Nov 30 (Ians) The West Indies men’s team are wearing black armbands on day one of their first Test against Australia at Optus Stadium in Perth as a tribute to former wicket keeper David Murray, who passed away last week.
Murray, who passed away last week at the age of 72, was the son of West Indies batting great Sir Everton Weekes. He played 19 Tests and 10 ODIs for the West Indies from 1978-82.
Murray’s first tour with the West Indies was in 1973 to England. He made his international debut for the West Indies men’s team at The Oval on September 7, which featured Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, Rohan Kanhai and Clive Lloyd.
His Test debut came in 1978 against Australia in Guyana. He also featured in 114 first-class matches. But in his international career, he mostly remained an understudy to his namesake Deryck Murray and then was usurped by Jeff Dujon in the start of 1980s.

Nearly 10 years ago, Billy Crystal and writer Quinton Peeples started work on a screenplay they’d eventually call Have A Nice Day. Not terribly long in Hollywood development years, but eons removed from our current political climate.
Performed and recorded (by Amazon’s Audible) as a staged Off Broadway reading last night and tonight by a starry ensemble – Crystal, Kevin Kline, Annette Bening and Dick Cavett, among others – Have a Nice Day, with its progressive, honest and do-good president, is just a fantasy too far, even given its Wonderful Life trappings.
Crystal, in full-on City Slickers likability, plays a bumbling, sweet-tempered angel of death who comes calling on David Murray (Kline), a middle-aged man with a stifled wife (Bening) and a teenage daughter threatening tattoo-level rebellion.
Since Murray happens to be President of the United States, the visit from this track-suited existential...

Telling the story of the night the Irish government decided to guarantee the entire domestic banking system, The Guarantee hits Irish cinemas next week, and Wildcard Distribution have released the first clip from the film, featuring Brian Lenihan (David Murray) fielding some hard questions from the press. It could be the music, it could be how it's shot, it could be Murray's acting, it could be all three, but there is a bucket load of tension in this very simple scene that has me really excited to see the finished product. The Guarantee hits our screens on October 30th, launching with a live Q&A and panel discussion from Movies@Dundrum, hosted by broadcaster Matt Cooper, that will be broadcast live to numerous cinemas across the country, allowing audiences to interact with the panel through a special live Twitter feed projected to each cinema.

If there is one type of television show we’ve got a lot of right now it’s the drama. While mostly concentrating on murder and politics there are some though that look to hit a much more emotional nerve by using the subject of children. Amber is one of the latest to use children as the subject using the theme of abduction.
When fourteen year old Amber Bailey disappears her family are left in turmoil. As they search for her at her friends they find she lied about visiting there and with no sign of her return it’s left to the police and pleas to the public for any news on where she could be. As the days go by...

Rating: 3.5/5
Directors: John Carney, Kieran Carney
Cast: Simon Delaney, David Murray, Slaine Kelly
The Irish are known for two things: poetry and drinking. Some of the greatest creative minds have come from the land of 1000 welcomes while others have squandered the opportunity to carry on the great literary tradition of Ireland by drowning in Guinness and pub spillage. In Zonad, a great mind of a different breed descends upon the sleepy, quaint village of Ballymoran in the form of an overweight alien with an overgrown bicycle helmet who proceeds to become the town hero whilst consuming as much alcohol as possible.

Nailing a feature length comedy can be tough. Writing a review for one can be just as tricky. With its international premiere happening today at Tribeca, Kieran and John Carney's send up of 50s Sci-fi B-movies and American sitcom culture via way of an Irish Hamlet has garnered a lot of buzz around these parts. So, how does the actual film fare? Well... a little setup first.
When a comet passes over Earth the same night the Cassidy family find an unconscious latex clad man on their living room floor, the townsfolk of Ballymoran think they have an alien visitor in their midst. Upon revival this mystery man reveals himself to be intergalactic traveler, Zonad (Simon Delaney), who fell through a rip in the space time continuum... or something.
Soon enough Zonad is taking full advantage of the gullible, totally smitten locals and - to the dismay of American...

Here’s a little piece or tease for the upcoming comedy Sci-Fi? “Zonad”. The bit I just saw is funny enough for me to want to share it with you, my Sci-Fi buddies. It’s directed by John Carney and stars David Murray and Simon Delaney (Zonad, himself) Not sure when we’ll get to see it, only that I want to. Thanks Quiet Earth for the tip.

G.I. Joe is the best Lorenzo di Bonaventura-produced movie based on a Hasbro toy line that I’ve seen this summer. And that’s because Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is 30 minutes longer. G.I. Joe left me apathetic. The film is two hours of non-stop CG-action, frantically directed by Mummy director Stephen Sommers, who must have had rabies when he shot this unremitting escalation of climaxes that plays like a never-ending crescendo.
Fans of the 1980s G.I. Joe cartoon (of which I was one) will have to live without Shipwreck, Torch, Lady Jaye, Flint, Tomax & Xamot and Sgt. Slaughter (remember him?), but trust me, there are more than enough characters (too many, in fact) in this film to keep you busy—if only the movie’s action stopped for two seconds, you might get to know something about them. Oh, wait, a couple of the leads get some silly Lost-style flashbacks,...

It’s not very often that such a fond childhood memory of mine is given the opportunity to play itself out on the big screen. Transformers? It never played any real part in my childhood, so when I saw it on the big screen it wasn’t with the fondness of someone who’d acted out their very own Transformers movies as a child, in the playground with friends.
That was the feeling I got when the opening credits rolled on G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra this past Saturday, at an exclusive screening in the prestigious Vue cinema at the O2 Arena.
My love of G.I. Joe (or Action Force as it was called in the UK back then), began during a turbulent time in my life, I’d just moved away from my Mother and Siblings to live with my Father in a strange part of town,...
