review: A Single Man (2009)

Usually you’d have to read me waffling for a while to find out if I actually liked a film or not… Not this time. This time I’m gonna come straight out with it… I loved A Single Man. I really feel it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in years. I mean, the last [...]

feature: top 10 films of the decade (2000 – 2009)

10 years is a long time in cinema. I had a look at my IMDb.com vote history and I saw around 60+ films in 2009 – significantly down on previous years – but still, more films than I can remember off the top of my head… So when it came to making a top 10 [...]

review: Inglourious Basterds (2009)

There’s only really two directors that I would say I’m a big fan of, Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, in case you were wondering… but I do admire the films of Quentin Tarantino. They’re always so stylish, so cool. I met him briefly once at a signing in HMV Dublin and he was just as [...]

review: Star Trek (2009)

I know I generally stay away from plot details but let’s face it, nobody’s gonna Crank for the plot. Jason [...]

review: WALL·E (2008)

I would class myself as a fan of Pixar however to be honest that’s all because of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I love those films… so since 1999 I’ve been waiting for Pixar to make a film as good as those two. It’s 2008 now and while I wouldn’t say I’ve been disappointed [...]

review: The Science of Sleep (2006)

Until a few years ago Michel Gondry was primarily known as a music video director. His videos include Around The World by Daft Punk, Everlong by Foo Fighters, Come Into My World by Kylie Minogue and my personal favourite Dead Leaves On The Dirty Ground by The White Stripes. His first foray into feature films [...]
