review: Chronicle (2012)

There was a plethora of new film releases this week, from a raft of genres, but on paper, this is the one I was most interested in. Chronicle chronicles the story of three high school boys who find themselves with the somewhat unusual ability to move objects with their minds… or, you know, telekenisis. So [...]

review: Underworld: Awakening (2012)

Kate Beckinsale is back in her PVC catsuit, corset and leather jacket for the fourth installment of the Underworld series, Underworld: Awakening. Actually, I didn’t know she had gone, I checked out of this franchise after the first film. Not that I’d hated it or anything. As far as I recall. I think it was [...]

review: Get Him to the Greek (2010)

You’ve heard me talk about it so you’re probably wondering… what did I actually think of it? Here goes. Or maybe first I’ll do the intro. The ads for Get Him to the Greek have been tryin’ to sell it as this year’s The Hangover… It’s probably a fairly apt description. Looking through the slate [...]

review: Nowhere Boy (2009)

Saw this a few weeks ago and since it got a few BAFTA nominations the other day I thought I’d better get my act together and do the review. Hey maybe it’ll convince someone to go and see it, after all it only seems to have 424 ratings on IMDb… Nowhere Boy is a biopic [...]

review: The September Issue (2009)

Some of you might be more interested in football, online poker (poker.de) and action movies, I know I am, but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy a film about Fashion. Continue reading to find out more. Since this is a documentary as opposed to a feature film I thought I’d try to bash this review [...]

review: Moon (2009)

Moon is a sci-fi film conceived and directed by Duncan Jones. It stars Sam Rockwell as the sole inhabitant of a moon base that serves as the operational centre for a team of helium-3 harvesters. I started this review in this conventional manner as, in many ways, this is a very conventional film. I hadn’t [...]

review: Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

The standees in Movies@Dundrum describe Slumdog Millionaire as the “The feel-good film of the decade”… so from the get go I’m worried; I’m not usually into “feel-good” films. Add to that the buzz about this film from the US… There’s nothing wrong with good buzz… but about a “feel-good” film with no associated buzz about [...]

review: Body of Lies (2008)

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: Sex and the City (2008)

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)

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 [...]
