Highlander: The Source
Celebrating 20 years of the Legend, Adrian Paul is back as the immortal Scottish swordsman, Duncan MacLeod in an all new Highlander: The Source. Following on from the success of the first movie, the Highlander sequels produced a number of flops but the TV spin-off series saw the saga getting back on track. The first of a trilogy, this new movie is unlike any Highlander yet produced, with a great cast including many favourites from the TV show and a decent plot. The Source tells the story of Immortals as they quest to locate the Holy Grail of their world. The entire series of films will chronicle the origins of the Immortals. Director Brett Leonard (Lawnmower Man & Virtuosity) commented “This is a tremendous opportunity for a storyteller of this genre to take part in the mythology of 20 years.” He continues that “HIGHLANDER is an amazing ongoing story that I can bring my visual style to… Everything I have done has led me to this kind of mythical fantasy.”

The Unwanted Gift!
This morning I spent some time just flicking through various channels (mostly music) and one thing really struck me: The number of scenes of men and women, in pop videos, portrayed in what could be described as an openly sexual manner. It set me thinking… Does anyone remember AIDS? Not so long ago there were several campaigns on TV, warning people about AIDS and the dangers of Risky Sexual Behaviour. AIDS has not gone away… just the information! Rogue pregnancies are not the only result of unprotected sex, AIDS and some very nasty STDs are on the increase. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are affecting more and more men and women. Sadly, for several people, the festive season will have brought with it the unwanted gift. Research findings and some very useful information are available from both The Well Woman Centre and The Well Man Clinic, two organisations that no doubt witness a rise in numbers attending for treatment, after the holidays. The good people in both centres are doing a good job, but it’s now time that the Irish Government took an active role in warning people about the dangers.
