film review: Arthur (2011)

You know. I enjoy a lot of films. I rarely slate a film. I know I wasn’t particularly nice about Scre4m last week but I didn’t slate it. It was alright. I think a lot films are all right and I tend to give a lot middling ratings as a result. If I really think [...]

film review: A Serbian Film (2010)

If you haven’t heard of A Serbian Film by now then… you probably don’t want to. Just, you know, go and look at another review. Might I suggest this one perhaps? Ok, ok, I’ll tell you what it is. A Serbian Film is probably the most notorious film you’ve never heard of. Well actually, you [...]

film review: Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

You may have seen me going on about Battle: Los Angeles recently. It’s the one with that fantastic trailer I saw before The Mechanic. You should click that link and watch it. It’s great. Have you watched it yet? Ok, great. On with the review. So as you can tell from the trailer, Battle: Los [...]

film review: The Mechanic (2011)

I had high hopes for The Mechanic. Well, kind of… I mean, I knew it was an action film starring Jason Statham. I may love Jason Statham but you can only hope for so much from his movies. In this case, unfortunately, I hoped for a little too much. In that I hoped for a [...]

film review: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

You may wonder why, after how little I thought of Paranormal Activity, I decided to see Paranormal Activity 2… Let’s just accept that I did and get on with the review. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Dublin when I pegged it down from The Barge to Movies@Dundrum to catch a half empty screening [...]

film review: The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)

So the other day I mentioned on my own facebook that I was going to take a stab at watching The Human Centipede. Or to give it its full title, The Human Centipede (First Sequence)… apparently the writer/director, Tom Six has plans for a follow up. Anyway, a couple of people asked me to let [...]

film review: The Social Network (2010)

Truth is, I was pretty skeptical going into the screening of The Social Network. Well ok, that’s not a secret, I know I said it a couple of times on the ol’ twitter and I might have even mentioned it on the facebook page once. But I don’t think I ever said it here so, [...]

film review: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

I can’t say I was overly excited about a film based on a video game. Uwe Boll has made me wary… If you haven’t had the delight of watching a Uwe Boll video game adaptation I’d recommend Alone in the Dark… it truly is awful. Seriously. It’s terrible. So, I wasn’t sure if I was [...]

film review: Cemetery Junction (2010)

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, [...]

film review: Kick-Ass (2010)

I’d be extremely surprised if you haven’t heard of Kick-Ass at this stage. It seems to be everywhere I look, online and offline. Granted I hang around movies websites and cinemas a lot but I even saw the titular Kick-Ass peering at me from the window of a French Connection store this afternoon – what’s [...]
