so many Trad (traditional Irish music) have just a few participants. Dempsey's had a Tuesday night regular session going for more than 12 years and could have dozen or more participants each session, with alternating "starters" and it welcomed the first timer as heartily as the old-timers.

This was a joy to watch.

I had been to Doolan in Ireland and various pubs in Dublin and around, and this was reminiscent of those wondrous evenings of familiar tunes with way more musicians than we saw there at a single session.

I loved hearing the stories of various participants, seeing their 'in real life" jobs and then hearing the reasons they kept coming back and back to Dempsey's.

I'm not a film reviewer, just a person who thoroughly enjoyed this informative and joyous documentary.

I was sad to hear it closed down in April 2016. I am sure the songs ring on in the building in the wee hours of the night.

Good plots, witty snappy dialogue, believable characters, engaging and understandable plot twists, intelligent science-fiction melded with old-west frontier style action, surprisingly sharp witted humor...

The characters are well drawn, costuming imaginative, scenery and lighting well done...

when you follow the crew through the ship, you don't get lost.... things are logical, it's believable, you can trace back in your mind and have a feel that the ship is in real-time space, that the "inside" is NOT bigger than the exterior.

And - EXPLOSIONS IN SPACE don't make noise.... they tend to have the science right and consistent.

No aliens, No FTL drives....no gory bloodbaths, but some cuss language (mostly in Chinese)....

RENT IT, BUY IT!! plus see the FIREFLY series on DVD. You'll be hooked and wonder how Fox ever decided to drop it..
