You probably already know if you’re going to like Moonrise Kingdom. Wes Anderson is one of those directors where you know what you’re going to get. Still, he’s just about the only […]
Movies – 18-05-12 – The Raid
This week sees the release of the Raid, the heir apparent to the title of best action movie, that has the critics wetting themselves to prove how butch they are, and that […]
Movies – 11-05-12
So what’s new at the movies this week? I think it’s another week to explore the sights and sounds of the city, without actually going to the cinema. There’s still probably some […]
Free Movies in the Rain – Temple Bar – Meeting House Square
I went to this once before, to see ‘Eternal sunshine…’ and you guessed it! It was a wet night in Dublin, and a bit miserable, but if you come prepared for the […]
Andre 3000 dressed as Jimmy Hendrix
Some stories are just too odd. Yes, that’s right, if you’re from Dublin or Wicklow, watch out for Andre doing a Jimmy impersonation! Andre is starring in biopic of Jimmy, which is […]
Movies – 20-04-12
‘Breathing’ looks the best bet on a slow week for new releases. It’s directed by Karl Markovics who you may remember from The Counterfeiters, from a few years ago. It tells the […]
Movies – 06-04-12
Nice to see the Irish Times ran with the story about James Cameron directing Promethus 2, which according to this was an April Fool story. This story with fake quotes had already […]
The Pieces of Shit
Ok, first up, don’t go to ‘This is not the place’. There’s far too many good movies on at the moment to see that one. Go to ‘Into the Abyss’ or if […]
Movies – 23-03-12 – This must be the place
I think this week the critics found the key for the alcohol cabinet, as they’re all in very good form! This must be the place is released this week include the Hunger […]
Movies – 16-03-12 – Once upon a time in Anatolia
Yes, the best movie released this week seems to be a two and a half hour Turkish movie that even critics are describing as difficult (but rewarding). If you want difficulty with […]
Movies – 09-03-12
I took a break from our regular view of what’s what in movie land, as I had to visit the sick and lame last week. One thing I did learn though, was […]
Whitney Huston – A Tribute
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 […]
