The other night, courtesy of Universal Pictures, I had the good fortune to watch the classic horror film, The Wolf Man (1941) in Denzille cinema, a cosy private cinema in Dublin 2. I had never seen it before but those of you who’ve read this blog before will know that I’m quite into horror films. […]

Ok, I know this has only just released in Ireland so technically it’s 2010 here but it released in the US on 23rd Dec 2009, just in time for the Oscars. Up In The Air is based on a novel of the same name by Walter Kirn. I don’t know that novel but I am […]

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. REVELATIONS 6:8 I was looking forward to The Road. As I mentioned in some previous posts, I’m all about post-apocalyse movies.

Apparently there have been many many many screen incarnations of Sherlock Holmes…. I haven’t seen any of them though. I actually know pretty much nothing about Sherlock Holmes beyond the fact that he’s a detective, he’s got a friend called Watson and he lives at 221B Baker’s Street. That last one was courtesy of a […]

Looking over Terry Gilliam‘s filmography on IMDb, I notice that I’ve actually seen 9 of his 14 films… so you’d think I’d have an idea by now of what to expect. But the fact is that you just can’t know what to expect with him. Except that it’s going to be odd. The Imaginarium of […]

Tuesday 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… […]

No Comment

Saw this one courtesy of Phantom 105.2 Thanks guys! (500) Days of Summer is essentially a love story. I know it says it isn’t, but it is. It may be a quirky indie love story, but it’s still a love story. I wouldn’t let that put you off though; that is, if you are the […]
