movie club feature: Kinoteka Bray at The Harbour Bar, Bray

The second in our movie club feature series takes a look at Kinoteka Bray, a monthly arthouse movie club in the very cool Harbour Bar in Bray. After cinemas in Bray and Greystones closed, the area was left with only one place to watch films. The Mermaid Arts Centre regularly exhibits arthouse films however they [...]

feature: Heineken wants to Serenade you!

Or rather, they want you to serenade your loved ones… yes. That’s more accurate. I’m sure they’d sing to you if you asked them to though. Well, maybe. Anyway, obviously this is a little different from my usual posts. It’s a sponsored post but then I wouldn’t write about it if I thought it was [...]

feature: The Woman in Black – YouTube Ghost Story competition

A while ago, I did a clips and trailers post for The Woman in Black. It looks like a good old fashioned ghost story and I’m very much looking forward to it, I honestly thought that teaser trailer was one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a big horror fan [...]

feature: Light House Cinema, Smithfield re-opening!

If you live in Dublin and haven’t heard by now then I’m here to spread the word! The beautiful Light House Cinema in Smithfield is reopening this Friday, 20th January 2012. New operators, Element Pictures, say they plan to screen the best of international art house and Irish cinema, as well as re-runs of classics [...]

movie club feature: Film Fatale at The Sugar Club

As you may or may not realise, Ireland has a bit of a love affair with cinema. We have one of the highest per capita cinema admissions figures in the world and I’m sure you’ve noticed, we talk about films all the time. What you may not also realise is that there are a great [...]

feature: Horrorthon 2011 (IFI Dublin)

Yes yes, it’s that time of year again. Time for the annual IFI Horrorthon Film Festival! As big a horror fan I am, last year was actually the first time I went along to it. Pretty poor showing from me considering this is its 14th year. For the 2010 festival I did a little post [...]

feature: Faster (with exclusive clip!)

Here at Average Film Reviews, we’re big fans of Dwayne Johnson. I mean I saw Tooth Fairy. TOOTH FAIRY. And I didn’t even hate it… Because The Rock was in it. I’m not sure if we’re allowed call him The Rock any more but oh well.* Anyway, with Planet 51, Race to Witch Mountain and [...]

feature: Sucker Punch (2011)

I kinda get the impression that Zack Snyder’s one of those directors that some critics love to hate. He’s divisive. I had a look over on Metacritic and all his films got scores in the 50s from the critics… Yet they all got over 7 in the user ratings. The people like him. I like [...]

feature: Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

As you know, if you read my last review, I don’t really like watching trailers in general… but I do like to watch the first ones as they give you a flavour for the film without (generally) giving too much away. Thing is, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep [...]

feature: JDIFF 2011 highlights

Goodness. The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF) really crept up on me this year. I mean it started tonight and I still haven’t done my picks. Damn. I’d better get to it. Every year the JDIFF divides itself into strands and this years strands are Reel to Reel – Documentaries from around the world [...]
