Bouncing 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?

There’s only really two directors that I would say I’m a big fan of, Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, in case you were wondering… but I do admire the films of Quentin Tarantino. They’re always so stylish, so cool. I met him briefly once at a signing in HMV Dublin and he was just as […]

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, Harry Potter is a phenomenon, both literary and cinematic.
