review: Body of Lies (2008)

1 Comment

I was pleasantly surprised by Body of Lies. I really didn’t expect to like it, it’s just not my kind of film. I think I’ve mentioned before in the blog (actually just had a look and it was in the No Country For Old Men) – I like films that have to be a film. […]

review: Hunger (2008)

No Comment

I didn’t grow up in Ireland during “the troubles“, I grew up in Asia but I am Irish… so I don’t what you’ll make of that but it’s just to put the review in a bit of context. I thought Hunger was an interesting film. I know very little about Bobby Sands, I know very […]

review: Scar 3D (2008)

No Comment

Actually I think Scar was released in 2007 but this was the 3D version that was re-released into cinemas in 2008. Though… I have no idea if the original “flat” version of Scar was ever released in cinemas here… I hope not. As far as I can make out, Scar is not a good film. […]

review: Saw V (2008)

No Comment

Another year, another Saw film. It’s all good. Saw IV was in my top 5 for last year so I was really looking forward to this next installment in the franchise. Saw V is the um… fifth film in the Saw series and I, for one, am glad that they didn’t bother with all that […]

review: Quantum of Solace (2008)

2 Comments

In case you were wondering about the… odd title. Quantum of Solace takes it’s name from the title of a short story from a collection of James Bond stories called For Your Eyes Only written by Ian Fleming. So now you know. We’ll start at the start. It was great to see the familiar style […]

review: You Don’t Mess With The Zohan (2008)

No Comment

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 […]

film review: Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006)

No Comment

Don’t know where I’d heard of this film… I think it was probably when I was browsing through Leslie Bibb‘s filmography while doing the Iron Man review… Anyway wherever I heard of it, I thought it sounded interesting but I put it down as a film I’d never see – didn’t seem like the type […]

review: Sex and the City (2008)

1 Comment

For the past couple of months I’ve been living in a double room in a friend’s house with all my worldly possessions around me in boxes… This rather limited the maneuverability in said room. Anyway, finally I have moved into my very own apartment so hopefully this means that in the near future life will […]

review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

1 Comment

In a fit of honesty I’m going to admit it… I don’t really remember much of the old Indiana Jones films. I think Indiana Jones is cool but honestly, I really don’t remember what happens in any of the films and I never really watch them when they’re on TV. There, I said it, I’m […]

review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

No Comment

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 […]
