releasing this week: The Expendables and Piranha 3D

Whereas last week there was sfa to go and see, this week we’re spoilt for choice. There’s at least 4 films I want to see this week. If I tried to highlight them all it would take too long (and I’m already two days late posting this) so I’d better just get to it. Here [...]

review: Splice (2010)

It’s been a while since I wrote a review. I feel bad about this. I’m sure you’ve missed my endless waffling about topics wholly irrelevant to the films in question. Never fear though! I’m back… Splice was one of those films that sounded interesting enough to take note of but not interesting enough to actually [...]

releasing this week: Get Him to the Greek and The Collector

So you’ve heard me going on about it for the last while and it’s finally here. Get Him to the Greek will be in Irish cinemas from this Wednesday 23rd June. On Friday then you will be able to see a new horror thriller The Collector as well as When In Rome and Woody Allen’s [...]

releasing this week: Sex and the City 2 and Rec 2

Sex and the City 2 really is the only show in town this week… We’ve had a few big releases so far this year, but this is the biggest. Rolling into a vast number of cinema screens around the country and undoubtedly enticing many people, who wouldn’t usually go to the cinema, to put on [...]

review: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

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 [...]

releasing this week: The Crazies & From Paris with Love

To 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 [...]

feature: The Wolf Man (1941) & The Wolfman (2010)

The other night, courtesy of Universal Pictures, I had the good fortune to watch the classic horror film, The Wolf Man (1941) in Denzille cinema, a cosy private cinema in Dublin 2. I had never seen it before but those of you who’ve read this blog before will know that I’m quite into horror films. [...]

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: Paranormal Activity (2009)

Well technically Paranormal Activity came out in 2007 but it only got a cinema release in 2009, so (2009) it is. Not that it matters but anyway… better get on with this. The force is strong with this one. Umm… the Paramount marketing force that is. This is apparently now the most profitable movie of [...]

review: Zombieland (2009)

The plan, on heading to the cinema for the evening, had actually been to see Pandorum… however a scheduling miscalculation meant that I missed the 6.40pm start time so had to go to Zombieland instead. And, despite being at the theatre 20 mins before Zombieland was due to start, I still managed to miss the [...]
