releasing this week: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

It’s not been a bad couple of weeks for cinema and this week sees a couple of big releases. Adam Sandler’s latest, Grown Ups is out as is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on the popular kids novels. Speaking of novels, Swedish thriller The Girl Who Played With Fire is also out. There’s only [...]

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

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… [...]

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

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 [...]

releasing this week: Brothers & Toy Story 2 (3D)

Two films releasing this week, well actually there’s three films but I’m gonna just talk about the two. The other, Un Prophète, is only opening on 5 screens and they’re all in Dublin so not everyone will have a chance to see it. In case you’re wondering it’s on in Cineworld Parnell Street, IMC Dun [...]

review: Avatar 3D (2009)

There is only one film worth seeing in the cinema this week. Avatar. Well, if we are to believe the hype anyway. Personally, I had been rather apprehensive about this whole Avatar business. I can’t remember the last time a film promised so much (well… maybe Snakes on a Plane but that was really a [...]

review: The Final Destination 3D (2009)

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while (or if you know me… like most people who seem to read this) you’ll know that I watch a fair number of horror films. They’re not like a favourite genre of mine or anything but I like a good horror film, so I watch them in [...]

review: Monsters vs. Aliens 3D (2009)

I’m all about 3D… now, I can’t actually see it properly… or at least I haven’t sat in good seats for it in a while… but I really appreciate film-makers creating this new genre. I was off at the side of the theatre for this one so the 3D didn’t look that amazing but judging [...]

review: My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

Contrary to popular belief, not all slasher flicks are the same. Ok, the formula tends the same in all of them – take a group of youngsters, add one homicidal maniac and watch the blood fly all over the place – but that doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Ok, there’s lots of bad ones… [...]

review: Scar 3D (2008)

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. [...]
