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 [...]

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 [...]

I spy with my little eye…. some kind of alternate future / post-apocalyptic dystopia! If you don’t know by now that this is my favourite genre of film then… I guess you just haven’t read my review of The Road, or my top 10 films of the decade article where I talk about Children of [...]

Those who know me – or follow the blog on facebook or twitter – will know that I’m a big fan of Jason Statham. So much so that I bought my 2010 office Secret Santa gift-receiver* a Jason Statham calender because he once said he liked one of his flms. Damnit, Statham’s just plain cool. [...]

Holy crap Batman! Now, I ain’t really given to shameless self promotion… well, ok, maybe just a little bit… but I have to admit.

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 [...]

At first glance, a follow up to 1982 sci-fi film, TRON, seems like an odd prospect. It has been a long long time and it’s very much a cult film. What seems odder is that it’s being revived as a mass-market Disney feature… … Or perhaps it’s not that odd at all. The success of [...]
