review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, Harry Potter is a phenomenon, both literary and cinematic. In terms of Irish box office, all of the films so far have been in the top 5 of their year… and this is a country where The Hangover is currently #1 for the year. I actually [...]

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… [...]

While 2006 was quiet in terms of releases he obviously spent the [...]
