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 […]

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 […]
