It’s finally that day, the one with all the ones! I’ve been looking forward to it for ages, well, at least a week. I was just listening to RTE One who were […]

Something to look forward to, with a very impressive cast and a director who I’ve always liked. Seven Psychopaths stars Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken,  Sam Rockwell and Tom Waits, and […]

Right, first off, this is not a weekend for art house stories of struggles in eastern Europe or coming of age dramas in South America, this is a weekend for ghost, ghouls […]

I’m sure it’ll be rubbish, and the trailer below would suggest that it quite possibly is, but the Wicker Tree is part of this year’s Horrorthon in the IFI (Thurs at 9.15). […]

I was in the Screen cinema on Sunday for Woody’s new effort (top notch!) and saw a list of movies they’re showing for Halloween. Pretty good stuff, other than the Human Centipede […]

First, an apology: We realise that in this section last week, some comments were made that were painful for some of our readers. While these were made in a jovial manner, this […]

You ever have one of those weeks? The cinema certainly is. Ok, lets see, ahhhh… a crap remake of ‘The three musketeers’ in 3D, ahhh…. a crap remake of ‘Footloose’ (which was […]

Ok, ok, I’m sure it won’t be anything special, and will probably last as long in the memory as the average TV sit-com, but I have to say, I like Woody Allen. […]

In a lead up to a guest post by L.A, I thought this was worth a mention. Kevin Smith used to be a director that split the vote, some loved him and […]

The choice of movie of the week was a bit more difficult this week than last. Nothing was jumping out at me, so I went with the only one that all the […]

Movie of the week is easy this time out, as everyone seems to love the one above. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is an adaptation of the 1974 cold war novel written by […]

It’s a good week at the movies, with a little something for everyone! Post Mortem is like by almost every critic I can find, and is the story of a mortuary attendant […]

The Kill List is an English movie directed by Ben Wheatley (who previously worked on BBC comedy ‘The Wrong Door’). It’s a story of middle class England and Hit men, so what […]

A bit later than normal with my movie reviews, but the exciting thing is that I’ve actually seen one of the movies, and actually know things about it! Quite an achievement, so […]

Not a stellar week for the movies in truth, maybe it’s time to stay at home with an improving novel and a cup of cocoa. Cowboys and Aliens sounded like it could […]

Project Nim is the latest documentary from the guys behind ‘Man on Wire’, and focussed on an experiment from the 70’s, where a University Professor in Columbia made a chimpanzee live with […]

I’ve been looking forward to Super 8 for a while. As one critic said, it looks a bit like all of Spielberg’s early movies squeezed together, and it’s even set in 1979! […]

Generally when reviewers get their hands on a super hero flick, their response is that it’s poop, and if you think differently, then you smell and are stupid! Not so this time, […]

Beginners is probably the only new release that people are getting excited over! Ok, I can’t say excited, but at least it’s getting a mention. Otherwise, The big picture get’s some positive […]

Yes, it could well be the biggest release of the year, or any year for that matter. ‘Hobo with a shotgun’ is one that’s sure to pack them in throughout the country, […]

It’s Terrance Mallick day here, with all the papers wetting themselves and showering the movie with stars. I’ve a small problem with Terrance, which is that his movies are a little dull, […]

It’s always fun to see the release of a big nasty blockbuster, as you can see all the reviewers sharpening their pencils to come up with something especially nasty to say about […]
