It’s kind of another quiet week this week… there are actually quite a few films out but they’re all fairly small/medium releases… We’ve got Cemetery Junction, Dear John, The Ghost, Repo Men, City of Life and Death and The Daisy Chain all coming out by Friday. There isn’t a really big film opening until Iron […]
moreLike with many films that have their release dates moved around, I was skeptical of Shutter Island. As in I was expecting nothing. I was pleasantly surprised. I have to admit, I don’t really know much about Martin Scorsese… …I say things like that and people are all “What kind of a film buff are […]
moreAs 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… […]
moreUsually you’d have to read me waffling for a while to find out if I actually liked a film or not… Not this time. This time I’m gonna come straight out with it… I loved A Single Man.
moreSome 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 […]
moreSaw this in the beautiful Light House cinema, an 4 screen arthouse cinema in Smithfield. I wasn’t particularly expecting to like this film. I don’t really like country music and it sounded like a story I’ve heard before. I like to see new stuff, or at least old stuff taken in a new direction or […]
moreTo be honest I almost only picked one film this week but I thought I’d better give people a choice… Fact is that I’m not sure there’s a great calibre of films coming out today; They don’t look bad but they just don’t look great. Anyway the ones I did pick were The Crazies and […]
moreYes, I know I’m kind of ignoring the biggest film of the week… which is of course Peter Jackson’s take on Alice Seobold’s novel, The Lovely Bones. Thing is, I’ve already done a review of that this week so I figured there was no need to highlight it any further. You can read that review […]
moreIt seems like people have been talking about The Lovely Bones for ages… Well actually they have been. The fact that the Irish release date was moved back twice has not particularly helped with this but with a very staggered worldwide release and the presence of Irish actress, Saoirse Ronan, we really have been hearing […]
