There is little purpose for a short movie. I guess they show them occasionally before a feature, but no one pays in to see them (unless they’re collected together as part of […]

Ok, I’m slightly out of date, as I was away for the weekend in a county where the internet doesn’t exist (Longford), so here’s a mega short view of what’s out this […]

A few new releases that might be worth a visit this week, with the Messenger being the one that’ll probably get my €10.50. It’s directed by Oren Moverman, who wrote the nicely […]

Kaboom is the new movie from Greg Araki, who previously made ‘Mysterious Skin’ among many others that I haven’t heard of. The Guardian says it’s ‘Like an episode of Scooby Doo without […]

June 11th this year is the IFI’s open day. If you’ve been to one before, you know how it works, but for those who don’t, it’s a free movie day! You have […]

Ok, a sad admission of guilt. I secretly hope that all the X-men movies won’t be trash, so that I can sneak off to them at some stage, and make my inner […]

It’s a bit of a slow week at the movies, as I guess no one wants to compete with the Hangover 2! Still, there’s a couple of things worth a mention. ‘Build […]

It may be obvious that I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while, but ‘Win Win’ opens today, which is the new movie by Thomas McCarthy. Thomas’ acting career is […]

“This Spring it’s inner city versus outer space” or something equally dreadful says the tag line for ‘Attack the Block’ the directorial debut from Joe Cornish (Adam and Joe). It’s getting fair […]

Seems like an Irish movie is the pick of the week, this week. Hmm. I’m never sure when the Irish Times reviews an Irish movie, and glows about it. They’re sure to […]

Trash to look forward to! 1 July Transformers: Dark of the Moon 1 July Larry Crowne – New muck from Tom Hanks (remember him?) 15 July Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, […]

‘How I ended this Summer’ is the story of two men in a isolated russian weather station. All the critics seem to think it’s top notch, but it might be a bit […]

Meek’s Cutoff seems like the movie of choice this week. It’s directed by Kelly Reichardt who made Old Joy starring Will Oldham a few years ago. Its rare a trailer really captures me, […]

Cold Fish is liked by the Times, who says it ‘unforgiving swipes at societal sicknesses and national flaws’, the Guardian says ‘freaky, but is far too long and wearying’. I guess I’ll […]

Spring is in the air, the birds are singing in the trees, and due to their abduction of an hour last weekend, it’s starting to feel a lot like summer. This has […]

How can this be a good movie? How can a documentary about a trip to see cave paintings in France in 3D be in any way worthwhile? ‘The Cave of forgotten dreams’ […]

While discussing global politics and in particular the recent events in the middle east, in the impossibly long queue for Patrick Wolf last night, this song came up, and I just have to […]

An actual movie review this time, as in a movie i’ve seen myself! Submarine is comedy set in wales, directed by Richard Ayodale (the guy with the big hair in the I.T. crowd!). […]

Norwegian Wood gets confusing reviews, the type of reviews that scare me a little, and would make me very slow to go to it. The Guardian loves it, the English Independent doesn’t, […]

Yes, this week seems to be the day to release your movie. Maybe they were all holding them back, due to the oscars. Who knows. Archipelago is the story of an unsuccessful […]

Ah, there was none! Ok, I’m slightly surprised they gave everything to a movie that is essentially English, but according to the bookies, it went exactly with form! I had to look […]

The Dublin Film Festival is still on, I’ve dabbled in it, going to two movies, one good, one bad! I think that’s the danger with the film festival, is that you’re basing […]
