review: The Crazies (2010)

As you may or may not have noticed, I have been injected with a spurt of effort for the website lately. The new Clips and trailers section of the website seems to be taking shape and I’ve even managed to write some reviews lately. Unfortunately the “Releasing this week” segment has fallen by the wayside [...]

review: A Serbian Film (2010)

If you haven’t heard of A Serbian Film by now then… you probably don’t want to. Just, you know, go and look at another review. Might I suggest this one perhaps? Ok, ok, I’ll tell you what it is. A Serbian Film is probably the most notorious film you’ve never heard of. Well actually, you [...]

review: The Reef (2010)

I’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 [...]

feature: Priest (2011)

I spy with my little eye…. some kind of alternate future / post-apocalyptic dystopia! If you don’t know by now that this is my favourite genre of film then… I guess you just haven’t read my review of The Road, or my top 10 films of the decade article where I talk about Children of [...]

review: Burlesque (2010)

With snowmageddon going on here, it’s hard to think about going outside at all, let alone going out to go to the cinema. But then that’s just what I did today. Not to this though. I went to this weeks ago. Today I went to Catfish. But that’s not important right now. Wikipedia (today, 21st [...]

feature: TRON: Legacy (2010)

At first glance, a follow up to 1982 sci-fi film, TRON, seems like an odd prospect. It has been a long long time and it’s very much a cult film. What seems odder is that it’s being revived as a mass-market Disney feature… … Or perhaps it’s not that odd at all. The success of [...]

releasing this week: Unstoppable and The American

Loads of films out this week, loads of them! Well, there’s 6, but that’s plenty more than we’ve had in recent weeks… Unsurprisingly they’re all aimed at older audiences, no studio dares go up against the behemoth that is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 with a youth release. Last weekend HP7 took [...]

feature: Machete (2010)

Shockingly, I haven’t seen Grindhouse. Shocking because it seems like exactly the sort of film I would see. Unfortunately they decided to release Grindhouse in two seperate films, neither of which stayed around in the cinemas here very long so I missed them… I really should rent them some time. Anyway, in case you didn’t [...]

releasing this week: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

There’s only one show rolling into town this weekend, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has arrived. It’s playing in pretty much every cinema in the country except for Light House cinema, Irish Film Institute and The Screen… in fact in most places it’s probably playing in two screens. There are two other [...]

review: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

You may wonder why, after how little I thought of Paranormal Activity, I decided to see Paranormal Activity 2… Let’s just accept that I did and get on with the review. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Dublin when I pegged it down from The Barge to Movies@Dundrum to catch a half empty screening [...]
