feature: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

I have to admit, this isn’t a film I’ve been paying a lot of attention to. Which is ridiculous because I really should be paying attention to it. It’s by Edgar Wright, director and co-writer of one of the best comedy-horror films in a very long time. Love that film. Also it stars Michael Cera, [...]

feature: Get Him to the Greek (with exclusive clip!)

Back in 2008 a little comedy called Forgetting Sarah Marshall, from first time director Nicholas Stoller caused quite a stir. It was romantic comedy that actually delivered laughs. Many of those laughs came from Aldous Snow, the narcissistic English rock star played by Russell Brand)… So many in fact, that they decided to make a [...]

Upcoming film news: Inception (2010)

You may remember, back in January I was all excited about this trailer I’d seen for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, Inception. Looks class.

releasing this week: Perrier’s Bounty & The Blind Side (& Kick-Ass previews)

Since I’ve seen Kick-Ass I thought I’d mention it as well, since there’s a fair chance that you’ll be able to see it this weekend. First [...]

feature: Iron Man 2

So I reckoned it was probably time I did a feature on something… I didn’t want to pick anything too far away because well, release dates change all the time, so I picked Iron Man 2. Actually I’m not entirely sure of the release date on this. It’s supposed to be in Irish cinemas from [...]

feature: Korean cinema at JDIFF 2010

With the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival just a couple of days away, it occurs to me that I never wrote that Korean cinema @ JDIFF article I promised in my intro to JDIFF article. Whoops. I’d be lying if I watch a lot of Asian films at the moment, but I used to… When [...]

feature: JDIFF 2010 programme launch

Thursday night (28 Jan 10) saw the launch of the 8th Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF). This year’s festival runs from 18th to 28th February 2010 and, like every year, is packed full of films that you’ll want to see. Of course, like every year, I’ll probably only end up seeing a handful of [...]
