review: The Spirit (2008)

No Comment

I’d never really heard of The Spirit (the film or the comics) until I started seeing the tv ads about a week before it came out… I like the visual style and I’m interested in films of comic book stories but mostly what swung it was that it had Samuel L. Jackson in it. I’ll […]

Sometimes I wonder if Seth Rogen sleeps… he seems to be in everything these days… Anyway, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the new film from Kevin Smith, director of such films as Clerks, Dogma and Chasing Amy. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not mad about Kevin Smith. It’s not that I think he’s […]

I was in a good mood watching this film. I saw it at its Irish red carpet premiere in the Savoy in Dublin with a load of cheering competition winning fans. Also Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider were there, so that was pretty cool. Being in a good mood always helps with film watching. I […]

review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

When I saw Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother was the lead in a new comedy I thought, I really gotta go see that. I really like How I Met Your Mother, it’s a great show and well deserves to stay in the network schedules this fall. It’s well written, sharp, funny and […]

Park Chan-wook could hardly be described as a household name in the western world however, his films probably are far better known than those of some other Asian directors.

Be Kind Rewind is the latest film from director Michel Gondry. It stars Mos Def and Jack Black. I don’t think this is a good thing.

I’m a big fan of Tim Burton, the only film of his that I haven’t seen is Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, but I would be remiss if I didn’t say that I think his output has been somewhat inconsistent.

film review: Knocked Up (2007)

Judd Apatow has had a very successful few years… between Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy, The 40-year Old Virgin and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, he’s been involved in some of the biggest comedy films in the last four years. While 2006 was quiet in terms of releases he obviously spent the […]
