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: Shame (2011)
Shame. In more ways than one. Man of the moment, Michael Fassbender, plays Brandon Sullivan, an Irish-American business suit type with an addiction to porn and sex with anonymous strangers. His life is going… relatively well really. His job hasn’t yet cottoned on to his problem – or at the least he must be making [...]

As I’m sure many of you will have noticed by now. I’m a pretty big fan of horror films. Course, more often than not, being a horror fan involves watching a lot of terrible horror films. And, more often than not, those terrible films are sequels or remakes. It was with this in mind that [...]

Been taking a break from watching films and writing reviews but I thought I’d better get back it. Unfortunately this means I have to think back a few weeks to work out what to write about. Then I remembered Cemetery Junction. I wish I couldn’t though. I saw Cemetery Junction a good while back actually, [...]
review: Green Zone (2010)
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 [...]

There’s actually quite a few films coming out this week so it’s a bit hard to just pick two… I’ve done it though! This week’s picks are Youth In Revolt and The Princess and the Frog The Princess and the Frog is Disney’s latest animated tale. I haven’t seen it myself but a few people [...]
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: Daybreakers (2010)
When I talked about Daybreakers the other week I mentioned that, although I thought it looked great, I was a bit concerned about the fact that I’d never heard of the writer/directors – Michael and Peter Spierig. Turns out I had reason to be concerned. Daybreakers really had the potential to be a good film. [...]
review: Up In The Air (2009)
Ok, I know this has only just released in Ireland so technically it’s 2010 here but it released in the US on 23rd Dec 2009, just in time for the Oscars. Up In The Air is based on a novel of the same name by Walter Kirn. I don’t know that novel but I am [...]

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. REVELATIONS 6:8 I was looking forward to The Road. As I mentioned in some previous posts, I’m all about post-apocalyse movies. Post-apocalypse / dystopia a favourite genre of mine. I really like the [...]
