 going into detail about the awesome cast. For starters, Dane DeHaan is incredible. I’ve said it since they cast him as Harry Osborn, but he just proved my point in this movie. He handles the darkness of Norman’s son and the madness of the Green Goblin flawlessly. That kid is going places. Speaking of Norman Osborn, it was a shame that Chris Cooper wasn’t utilized more. To cast someone of that caliber for one scene is such a bummer. The same can be said for Paul Giamatti as Rhino, but it pretty much goes without saying that we’ll see him again. Last but not least are our two leads. The chemistry between Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield is so amazing. Their real life connection carries over onto the big screen and it really helps with some of the more emotional moments of the movie. Oh man, I’m gonna stop right there before I venture into spoiler territory.
Basically, it was a great job all around when it comes to ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’. Since I’m supposed to be critical of these things, the weakest part of the movie was the villains. It definitely wasn’t crowded, but there were moments where things were rushed, especially with the Green Goblin. That being said, the bad guys had great motivations, provided some epic showdowns with Spidey, and possessed the right amount of believability in their backstories to make it all work. So if that ended up being the worst part, then that’s not so bad right?
At the end of the day, I think that after seeing ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, I will consider myself a fan of this franchise. Prior to this, I was a casual observer, but I have been converted, True Believers. I loved how dark things got for Peter, though never as dark as Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’, and how emotionally invested I found myself during the course of the film. In fact, I might even go so far as to say that this is my favorite ‘Spider-Man’ film since 2002. I highly recommend splurging and going for the IMAX experience. After you see those fight scenes, you’ll thank me.
‘World city research’ has always sought to identify links between the expansion of the world economy and social marginalisation. Changes in the division of international labour have provided the main explanatory insights. I believe that, given the financialised nature of the global economy, other theoretical instruments can be employed, such as the concept of ‘financial exclusion’ for example. Because of the way they have manifested in Chicago, the causes and consequences of the ‘mortgage meltdown’ are able to give us a chance to explain how financialisation has produced social marginalisation. Firstly I explain how the ‘meltdown’ of the secondary mortgage market has contributed to financial exclusion and then, in the local context, I analyse the relationships between financial exclusion and old and new patterns of marginalisation resulting from financialisation.

Celebrated illustrator David Rooney has donated a limited edition print to the Aisling charity mini-bus fundraising campaign.
The resident Irish Post artist has donated this striking but poignant piece, pictured above, from the recent Ardal O’Hanlon guest editor edition to help raise the £28,000 needed for the charity’s Return to Ireland project.
There are 200 of the signed limited edition giclée prints up for grabs. Each costs just £140, with proceeds going to the charity.
The piece is a reflection of an Irish farm cottage in the eyes of an old Irish London park bench resident – something the artist feels will resonate with many of the Irish living in Britain.
“I felt close to the subject as I had uncles who went over to Britain in the 1950s,” he said. “Fortunately they came back but told stories of a lot of guys who stayed on and ended up in pretty dire straits.”
The work of Wicklow-based Rooney, who also created the series of prints used in Fergal Keane’s five part BBC documentary series The Story of Ireland, is much sought after.
