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 […]

Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejects, you’ve probably all see them a 100 times. See what you think. they make me giggle anyway. Wonderfully simple style of animation, and a nice idea of rejected shorts […]

An odd little teaser has just turned up on the internet, from Neil Blomkap, the co-writer and director of District 9. He’s a south african director, and D9 was actually the first […]

Yes, it’s Harry Potter Season again, so that will fill up most of the main stream cinemas. Still, two good movies this week, so we can’t really complain. Uncle Boonmee who can […]

Ok, a quick round of what’s new this week. I went to ‘Another Year’ last week, and it was a little better than I expected. As with all of his movies, even […]

Mixed bag this week, and the only thing it really proves is that reviews don’t mean a great deal! Another Year is Mike Leigh back to doing what he does best (and […]

Just checking the new releases this week, and nothing much of any interest on at the moment! A lot of three star movies released, and that just means ‘wait till dvd release’ […]
