New Jack City.


One of my faves.Fr Fintan Stack is every nightmare roommate/neighbour you've ever had rolled into one and the best thing Brendan Grace has ever done.

Ever? Ah now you have to give the man first credit to his own comedy!

If you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun and that's all what matters.

As a mid-teen I used to fall about laughing at Brendan's act, "Bottler" in particular ("Youse are all lookin' at me!")

Years later I found a video cassette in a bargain basket and bought it. It was bloody awful. Jokes that Will Hay would have rejected as old-fashioned. Even Bottler had lost his lustre.

However, in NJC, I thought he was great. A wonderfully menacing, sinister performance - especially that uncomfortable moment when he confronts the priest about enjoying watching guys running around in shorts!
