feature: top 10 films of 2011

Little late this year but hey, better late than never right? Right?? On the whole, I don’t think 2011 was a great year for cinema. There were some great films sure but I struggled to get 10 films to be honest. I should probably preface this by saying that I managed to miss 3 of [...]

review: Black Swan (2010)

So… my first review of 2012 is a film that was probably one of the first films I saw in 2011… As it so happens it’s also turned out to be one of my top films of 2011. How’s about that. I’ll be doing a post on my 2011 top films soon enough but for [...]

feature: top 10 films of 2010

Ahoy-hoy! So 2010 has come to an end and it’s time for us all to look back at what films floated our boats 2010… First thing I have to say is that, I thought 2010 was a pretty good year for film. There have been some really outstanding films during the year and I had [...]

review: Buried (2010)

So… if you know me personally, or “like” the facebook page, then you’ve probably seen me going on about Buried for a while now. Course if you don’t you may have read the short “Trailer of the week” feature I did on it here or the “releasing this week” post I did mentioning it. I [...]

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 saw this about a week an half before it came out… What would have been useful for people would have been if I reviewed it then. Unfortunately I’m pretty lazy… but at least you’re getting it eventually, right?? On with the show. This Star Trek is actually the 11th film in the franchise, this [...]

review: Crank (2006)

Saw this on DVD the other day in preparation for Crank: High Voltage. Gonna be a short review this one… Crank is great film. It’s just completely ludicrious. It’s so over the top it’s hilarious. 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 [...]
