JOE’s 5 for the Weekend

Whether you're staying in or heading out we've got it covered. Leave the working week behind with our five top picks.

Watch Senna, one of the greatest sports films ever, on Blu-ray

One of the only five stars reviews we've dished out all year, the extraodinary life of late F1 driver Ayrton Senna is explored in this week's top Blu-ray and DVD release, Senna.

How director Asif Kapadia was able to condense a reported 15,000 hours of footage into 105 minutes is anyone's guess, yet this release deserves attention for its craftsmanship, care and respect for its portrait of a true sports icon. An essential purchase.

If you want to see The Rubberbandits, you'll have to leave the horse outside

This time last year The Rubberbandits were about to hit an unsuspecting public with 'Horse Outside' and become overnight sensations.

While the risible follow-up single from the comedic group, 'I Wanna Fight Your Father', killed a lot of their momentum, there's a still a huge amount of laughs to be had in the company of Limerick's finest, so don't pass up the opportunity to see them at the Olympia.

The clock is ticking for you to catch The Minutes

Up and coming Irish group The Minutes have been making waves in the music scene in recent months and released their first UK single, 'Black Keys' late late last month. If you'd like to hear for yourself what the hype is about, why not check them out at the Pavillion in Cork?

Find out if id Software's 'Rage' lives up to the Doom and Quake legacy

When id Software decide to release a brand new first-person-shooter IP, the world stands up and takes notice. In the case of Rage, a post-apocalyptic racer/shooter, game critics fell about themselves at last year's E3 trade show to reward the title with numerous 'Best in Show' awards.

With one of the biggest pre-Christmas release lineups in video game history, expect at least one essential title every week in this section and this week, it's got to be Rage.

Enjoy The Lion King all over again... this time in 3D

Tired of Hollywood's fascination with 3D? You may want to look away - the latest trend is to re-release classics that have been remastered for the 3D format and with the success of The Lion King 3D ($80m in the US in three weeks), Disney have decided that four more will be '3D'd-up' for 2012 and 2013.

That's right, expect Beauty and the Beast in January 2012, Finding Nemo in September 2012, Monster Inc for January 2013 and The Little Mermaid in September 2013. And if you buy tickets to The Lion King 3D this weekend? Expect a lot more on the way too.
