Kormac has been releasing music as a solo artist since 2007 in the form of The Scratch Marchin', Good Lord and Showtime EPs worldwide. Following that was the release of his debut LP Wordplay. The success of Wordplay led to Kormac being booked for larger shows both in Ireland and abroad. In his own words he "wanted a new way to present his sampled-based productions in a live setting.

The Truman Show - Film Review Twenty- nine years ago, Truman Burbank was adopted by the Omnicom corporation and was set to be the star of a worldwide reality tv show that would film his entire life existence. Christof, the creator of the tv show built a world inside a dome and controlled every aspect of Trumans life and even mind without his knowledge. As Truman slowly discovers the real meaning of his life, he must decide whether or not to make a change. The purpose of this film is to explore

Truman “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand”-Harry S Truman, this quote shows that nothing will get in Truman’s way and he will get around every obstacle. Truman, born May 8th 1884 in Lamar MO. Unlike some other presidents and people of importance, Truman was not born into a family of wealth.

I chose to watch The Truman Show and analyze it in terms of personality development. In the beginning of the movie, the audience learns that Truman was adopted as a baby so he could star in a 24/7 television show.

The Truman Show was an odd show because the idea of the plot could potentially be in effect at this very moment. Just like how The Matrix could also be in effect, but this show seemed very creepy to me because of the plain lie to Truman. One thing that hits a button within me is the whole concept of lying.

The Truman Show by Peter Weir In The Truman Show (Weir, 1998), the eponymous Truman Burbank is the star of a reality television show, playing for 24 hours a day, uninterrupted since his birth. Despite this, he is unaware of his worldwide fame, for the constant observation has been conducted in secrecy. A burning exposition of the vices of modern society – one driven by a fatalistic need for distractions – we see ourselves in the millions of viewers that tune in every day and every night to look

The Henry Wiggen Novels of Mark Harris       There can be no question that sport and athletes seem to be considered less than worthy subjects for writers of serious fiction, an odd fact considering how deeply ingrained in North American culture sport is, and how obviously and passionately North Americans care about it as participants and spectators. In this society of diverse peoples of greatly varying interests, tastes, and beliefs, no experience is as universal as playing or watching sports
