film review: Green Zone (2010)

5 Comments

Every review I’ve seen of Green Zone mentions the Bourne films. This one is no exception. It’s not really that surprising though, it’s all over the poster and they share a star and a director, well the last two do anyway. To me that’s where the similarity ends. Well… ok, there’s the whole annoying shaky […]

releasing this week: I Love You Philip Morris and Zonad

1 Comment

There’s a variety of films opening on Friday 19th March here in Ireland so hopefully something for everyone. 2 family films, 2 romantic comedies (to throw them under one umbrella), an Irish comedy and a drama/thriller. Well ok, there’s not quite something for everyone – there’s no big action film – but Green Zone is […]

feature: Iron Man 2

5 Comments

So I reckoned it was probably time I did a feature on something… I didn’t want to pick anything too far away because well, release dates change all the time, so I picked Iron Man 2. Actually I’m not entirely sure of the release date on this. It’s supposed to be in Irish cinemas from […]

releasing this week: Shutter Island & The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The biggest film coming out this week is actually Green Zone but I’ve already seen it and will be writing a review shortly so I thought I’d highlight two I haven’t seen. This week keep your eye out for Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island and Swedish thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. First up this […]

film review: Alice in Wonderland (3D) (2010)

6 Comments

As I mentioned in my “releasing this week” article on Friday, I was really looking forward to seeing this film. Again I’ve been taught that I’m better off keeping my expectations low. It’s not that Alice in Wonderland is a bad film. Hehe, that’s probably my favourite phrase, I don’t like saying films are bad… […]

film review: A Single Man (2009)

Usually you’d have to read me waffling for a while to find out if I actually liked a film or not… Not this time. This time I’m gonna come straight out with it… I loved A Single Man.

releasing this week: Alice in Wonderland (3D) & Legion

2 Comments

Some weeks it’s hard to decide which films to highlight. Not this week! There’s about seven new films coming out this week but two I’m picking are films I’ve been waiting for for ages and ages… Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and Legion. I know I was expecting people to have heard of Crazy Heart […]

feature: nicola-t’s Oscar predictions 2010

No Comment

If you’re looking for an Oscar prediction ballot form for 2013, I have one right over here – 2013 Oscar Ballot Form. So the 82nd Academy Awards are less than a week away, they really crept up on me this year… It’s probably about time I did my predictions. For ease (mine, of course) I’m […]

releasing this week: The Crazies & From Paris with Love

3 Comments

To be honest I almost only picked one film this week but I thought I’d better give people a choice… Fact is that I’m not sure there’s a great calibre of films coming out today; They don’t look bad but they just don’t look great. Anyway the ones I did pick were The Crazies and […]

releasing this week: Crazy Heart & Solomon Kane

Yes, I know I’m kind of ignoring the biggest film of the week… which is of course Peter Jackson’s take on Alice Seobold’s novel, The Lovely Bones. Thing is, I’ve already done a review of that this week so I figured there was no need to highlight it any further. You can read that review […]
