clips and trailers: Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Back in 2008 the world was introduced to a cute little panda called Po. Well maybe he wasn’t all that little… and he wasn’t like fantastically cute. But he was cuddly and people all over the world fell in love with him and all his antics in Kung Fu Panda. Except me, I didn’t love [...]

Finally, at long last and over a month after it’s US release, Toy Story 3 has made it to these fair Irish shores. I have to see this movie. There are also a few other films coming out this week including a medium sized romantic comedy, a Sicilian comedy drama, a film about bees and [...]

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 [...]
