Who dares to take on the mighty Batman? Well, Ice T, the Lorax and a frenchie movie. Actually, it is a much smaller crop of movies than usual, and none are even […]
Things to do in Dublin – 16th July to 22nd
Well, the Nobel prize winners have all left the country and our collective I.Q’s have dropped considerably! They will be missed. So, what’s new this week then? 1. Dark Knight Rises – […]
Movies – 13-7-12
An average to dull week at the movies, with little of any importance in the pile of new releases. The Giants is a Belgian movie about three kids that are left to […]
Movies – 7-06-12
I’m behind at the movies, as I didn’t make it to anything last week! I might try to get to a couple this weekend, although Film Fatale is showing Rear Window this […]
Movies – 29-06-12 – Dark Horse
Three good indie releases this week is a bit of a surprise for mid summer, but there is also another version of Amazing Spiderman and Ice Age, so something for everyone I […]

As part of the Japanese Film Festival, the lighthouse cinema is showing ‘Children who chase lost voices from deep below’ on Monday the 2nd of July at 19.00, and have a Q&A […]
Movies – 22-06-12 – The Apartment
Ok, what’s new in the world of the silver screen! The one the critics are loving to hate is ‘lay the favorite’ which is the new Stephen Frears movie. The Guardian says […]
Dredd – trailer
‘It makes the brain feel that time is passing at 1% of it’s normal speed’. Ugh. It can’t be good, can it? Fingers crossed it won’t be as bad as the Sly […]
Movies – 15-06-12
Cosmopolis is a Cronenberg adaptation of a Don Delillo novel. There are a lot of good things about that last sentence. It stars Robert Pattinson. There are a lot of bad things […]
Movies – 1-06-12
Ah pants, the movie I’ve been looking forward to for months turns out to be dead average! Don’t you hate it when that happens. Just like Fox Mulder, I wanted to believe, […]
Things to do in Dublin – May 28th to June 3rd:
1. Forbidden Fruit – Kilmainham Hospital Grounds – it’s the biggest festival to hit the city so far this year, with bands such as Wilco, New Order and Beirut hitting our shores. […]
Movies – 25-5-12 – Moonrise Kingdom
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

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
