In Time is the latest film from writer/director Andrew Niccol, who wrote and directed Gattaca. I love Gattaca. Really, it’s one of my top 10 films. So obviously this meant I had fairly high hopes for In Time. Not massively high because well, S1m0ne was a bit of a strange one and I’d heard pretty […]
moreStrange, strange, strange. I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to like Red State. I liked the trailer but I’m not particularly a fan of Kevin Smith; I can still smell Cop Out from here… then again, I did really like Zack and Miri Make a Porno and I thought Chasing Amy was kind of […]
moreTinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy… Those of you who know me will know, I’m not exactly a reader… but even I’ve heard of John le Carré’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I couldn’t tell you why though, just that – in my head – it’s an extremely famous and highly acclaimed spy novel. With a class title. […]
moreI’d heard about The Reef… vaguely. I’d heard it was a low budget Australian film about some people who get caught out at sea. It featured in the Horrorthon in the IFI in 2010. However, having not been a big fan of Open Water and being limited by funds, I skipped it… … Then I […]
moreSo the other day I mentioned on my own facebook that I was going to take a stab at watching The Human Centipede. Or to give it its full title, The Human Centipede (First Sequence)… apparently the writer/director, Tom Six has plans for a follow up. Anyway, a couple of people asked me to let […]
moreSo… if you know me personally, or “like” the facebook page, then you’ve probably seen me going on about Buried for a while now.
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 […]
moreEvery review I’ve seen of Green Zone mentions the Bourne films. This one is no exception. It’s not really that surprising though, it’s all over the poster and they share a star and a director, well the last two do anyway. To me that’s where the similarity ends. Well… ok, there’s the whole annoying shaky […]
moreIt seems like people have been talking about The Lovely Bones for ages… Well actually they have been. The fact that the Irish release date was moved back twice has not particularly helped with this but with a very staggered worldwide release and the presence of Irish actress, Saoirse Ronan, we really have been hearing […]
moreTuesday night and myself and a friend thought we’d go to the cinema. We had been trying to go the The September Issue but it was on too late and the only thing that looked good that we hadn’t see was District 9… but I had promised a mate I would see that with them… […]
