It’s two days before Savage is finally going on general release in Ireland and I’m meeting writer/director Brendan Muldowney for half an hour to talk about why he made the film, what he’s trying to say and how he feels about all the interest now about a film that debuted over a year ago. I […]
moreBouncing boobs and buckets of blood… … that’s right, Piranha 3D is most definitely, and unashamedly… … a B movie. Then again, what were you expecting from a film about prehistoric killer fish? Truth be told, there isn’t much to be said about Piranha 3D. It’s pretty much exactly what they promised. Between the fake […]
moreIt’s been a while since I wrote a review. I feel bad about this. I’m sure you’ve missed my endless waffling about topics wholly irrelevant to the films in question. Never fear though! I’m back… Splice was one of those films that sounded interesting enough to take note of but not interesting enough to actually […]
moreI had to think about this one. Well, I think about all my reviews – words don’t appear on the screen by themselves* – but usually it’s less about what I’m going to say and more about how I’m going to say it. This film had me thinking about… stuff. Ah ok, there’s no point […]
moreYou’ve heard me talk about it so you’re probably wondering… what did I actually think of it? Here goes. Or maybe first I’ll do the intro. The ads for Get Him to the Greek have been tryin’ to sell it as this year’s The Hangover… It’s probably a fairly apt description. Looking through the slate […]
moreIt was with surprising lack of trepidation that I wandered into Cineworld on Monday 7th June for the one night only showing of the new Rush documentary, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. As we passed the bar I couldn’t help but notice it was awash with stringy ponytails and tour t-shirts. Not quite the usual […]
moreI can’t say I was overly excited about a film based on a video game. Uwe Boll has made me wary… If you haven’t had the delight of watching a Uwe Boll video game adaptation I’d recommend Alone in the Dark… it truly is awful. Seriously. It’s terrible. So, I wasn’t sure if I was […]
moreAs I’m sure many of you will have noticed by now. I’m a pretty big fan of horror films. Course, more often than not, being a horror fan involves watching a lot of terrible horror films. And, more often than not, those terrible films are sequels or remakes. It was with this in mind that […]
moreBeen taking a break from watching films and writing reviews but I thought I’d better get back it. Unfortunately this means I have to think back a few weeks to work out what to write about. Then I remembered Cemetery Junction. I wish I couldn’t though. I saw Cemetery Junction a good while back actually, […]
moreLike with many films that have their release dates moved around, I was skeptical of Shutter Island. As in I was expecting nothing. I was pleasantly surprised. I have to admit, I don’t really know much about Martin Scorsese… …I say things like that and people are all “What kind of a film buff are […]
