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 […]

Why tamper with perfection? If you only made one truly great movie in your life, why would you go and destroy the memory? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, The […]

Looking back over their career, with Blood Simple now being 27 years old, its pretty fair to say Coen bothers hardly put a foot wrong! There are a few on the list […]

Is it possible for a newspaper to wake up in a bad mood? Well, the Guardian doesn’t like anything this week, and especially not the new Clint Eastwood movie Hereafter (well, ok, […]

First off, any surprises? People they missed out? I don’t think so really. All comes within standard parameters of what we know as ‘Oscars’! The long list of ‘best movie’ nominations makes […]

Yes, this is one that we’ve been waiting for, for a long time and is a definite for the oscars if you ask me. I’m of course talking about John Carpenter’s ‘The […]

1. Winter’s Bone – This blew me away when I saw it. Like most movies I go to, I try to avoid reading about them before I do, so I had no […]

Yes, every critic I can find thinks Tron was rubbish. Annoying, but i’m not quite sure what I was expecting. Otherwise the only releases are old movies such as ‘its a wonderful […]

Ok, so I’m a week behind, better late than never right? Hmm. I’ll keep it short so, seems last week was a good week at the cinema, I guess most people wanted […]
