releasing this week: Dinner for Schmucks and The Last Exorcism

Loads of films came out on Friday. 10 at my count and undoubtedly there’ll be extra ones showing in the IFI and elsewhere. So I’d better just get to it. The first film I’ve chosen to highlight this week is… Dinner for Schmucks from Jay Roach, director of the Austin Powers films. He’s also directed [...]

releasing this week: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

It’s not been a bad couple of weeks for cinema and this week sees a couple of big releases. Adam Sandler’s latest, Grown Ups is out as is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on the popular kids novels. Speaking of novels, Swedish thriller The Girl Who Played With Fire is also out. There’s only [...]

releasing this week: The Expendables and Piranha 3D

Whereas last week there was sfa to go and see, this week we’re spoilt for choice. There’s at least 4 films I want to see this week. If I tried to highlight them all it would take too long (and I’m already two days late posting this) so I’d better just get to it. Here [...]

releasing this week: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

I have to admit. I’m faintly curious about The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. I suppose that tells you what I think of the rest of the films this week. Ah that’s not entirely true but the ones look good are on very limited release (like 2 cinemas each) so it’s not really fair on any Irish readers [...]

releasing this week: Knight & Day and Step Up 3

It’s that time of the week again! Now I still haven’t seen The A-Team so that’s my mission for this week but I assume that if you’re here then you want to know about the new films coming out… and who am I to deny you? Probably the biggest film this week is the Tom [...]

releasing this week: The A-Team

To be perfectly honest, if you haven’t seen Inception or Toy Story 3 then you should probably go and see one of those first. If you have seen them though then there’s a couple of options this week. For me, the major one this week is The A-Team. But, for the first time in a [...]

releasing this week: Toy Story 3

Finally, at long last and over a month after it’s US release, Toy Story 3 has made it to these fair Irish shores. I have to see this movie. There are also a few other films coming out this week including a medium sized romantic comedy, a Sicilian comedy drama, a film about bees and [...]

releasing this week: Inception

Ok late again but I have a good excuse this week, I was out of the continent… but without further ado my (late) round up of the films that went on general release in Ireland on Friday 16th July 2010. As I mentioned last week, we’re currently going through a quiet patch of movies. There’s [...]

releasing this week: Predators

So… I’m gonna keep this relatively short because I’m currently overseas on holiday. Lucky for me my two weeks holidays fall across weekends that don’t have many new films coming out. I guess most studios were expecting Shrek Forever After and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to suck up most of the audience. They’re probably right. [...]

releasing this week: Shrek Forever After

Well well, it seems that none of the other major studios fancy their chances against Shrek Forever After this week, Paramount Pictures pretty much has the place to itself. There are a few smaller foreign language releases so I’ll talk about them later. So… you know there’s a big green orge… but what’s Shrek Forever [...]
