We have been quiet since the death of Whitney, mostly due to our grieving process. It’s sad to see a legend pass, but we’re dealing with our pain, and hope it will […]
Movies – 17-02-12 – JDIFF
Movie fever has hit Dublin, with the Film Festival in full swing today. There’s also some good deals here for the next hour and ten minutes! It’s 1 to 3 everyday and […]
Movies – 10-02-12 – The Muppets
Another week of good news, as not only is there a new Muppet movie on the streets, but it’s also meant to be good! The strange thing is that most of the […]
The Amazing Spiderman… again!
Ok, it looks pretty good, but I can’t help but feel we just saw this movie! Can Hollywood keep rebooting these franchises? Surely they should wait a few years before they kick […]
Movies – 03-02-12 – Chronicle
Oh happy day, I think we have a good sci fi movie on our hands! Even more exciting is that it’s one of those found footage movies that just make you think […]
Movies – 27-01-12
First up, the Descendants, which I was lucky enough to get to see as part of the le cool preview. This is the new movie by Alexandre Payne (Sideways and About Schmidt) […]
Dunlaoghaire Pavilion Theatre Events
The same venue that also gives you ‘An evening of nostalgia with Johnny McEvoy’ also has some events that are aimed at a younger audience! In their Spring Catalogue, there’s a few […]
Movies – 20-01-12 – Lighthouse Cinema Reopens!
It’s old news at this stage, as it was announced on Tuesday, but it’s only happening today, so I thought it was worth a mention. That and the fact that there’s not […]
Movies – 13-01-11 – Shame
Shame is the second movie by Steve McQueen. He’s a video artist turned movie maker, and I’m sure he’s getting much more notoriety from making movies than the other. He actually won […]
Movies – 06-01-12 – The Artist
I first heard about this movie while I was checking the ‘best of 2011’ movies for critics stateside, and it featured on almost all of them. I’m sure it will be added […]
Movies – 30-12-11
The last movie post of the year, and a couple of good ones for you to check out. For those of you keeping note of these sort of things, yes, I did […]
Top 10 Movies of 2011
Working my way back through the releases from this year, it wasn’t a vintage year, and there were very few that would excite me greatly. Still, we did see Tomas Alfredson prove that ‘Let […]
Top 10 Christmas Movies
Ok, this is another request form the wonderful candepop, and seeing as one of them delivered a Christmas present (complete with candy cane!) to my office recently, I’ll have to oblige! Some […]
Movies – 16-12-11
Ok, I’m a week behind at the movies, but by the sound of things, we didn’t miss very much last week. I was kind of hoping that Puss in Boots would be […]
Movies – 2-12-11 Hugo
Hugo wins by default I fear, as it’s a slow week at the movies. December has become the month where everyone looks back at the past year, and nothing new really happens, […]
Movies 25-11-11 – Deep Blue Sea
Deep Blue Sea seems to be the critics choice of the week. It’s a Terence Davies’ adaptation of the Terrence Rattigan play from 1952, and sounds like it’s top notch. Other movies […]
The Music of John Carpenter
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and it really hit me how much I a) love John Carpenter movies and b) love the music in his films (which he largely […]
A Tribe Called Quest – The Movie
‘Beats Rhymes and Phife’ is a documentary on the life and times of one of the best hip hop acts of our recent past, ‘A Tribe called Quest. The screening is on […]
Movies – 11-11-11 The Silence
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 […]
Seven Psychopaths
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 […]
Movies – 28-10-11 – Ghostbusters!
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 […]
More Halloween Movies
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). […]
Halloween Movies – Screen Cinema
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 […]
Movies – 21-10-11 – We need to talk about Kevin
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 […]
Movies – 14-10-11
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 […]
Movies – 07-10-11 – Midnight in Paris
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. […]
Guest Post: Top Five Sci-fi Movies
Before you ask, yes, I am annoying all my friends on a consistent basis to do these things, but they’re kind of fun. I’m enjoying them at least. This is by one […]
Guest Post -Red State – Movie Review
Think this is a first for the workhorse! Don’t think we’ve actually had a genuine, honest to god movie review. Still, L.A. wanted the chance to wax lyrical about Kevin Smith, and […]
Red State
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 […]
