review: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1

My unplanned and unexpected fall into all things Twilight continues. Somehow I found myself at a midnight screening of the latest installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1. I still don’t know how it happened but it did. Of course, as I had mentioned in the post with clips and trailers of Breaking [...]

clips and trailers: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1

I have nothing against The Twilight Saga. I was just never that compelled to learn anything about it. All the girls I know would talk about the books and the whole Team Jacob and Team Edward thing – (It was decided I would likely be in Team Edward) – but I just wasn’t bothered. Then [...]

clips and trailers: Footloose (2011) – exclusive clip!

Well you gotta cut loose, FOOTLOOSE! That’s actually the sum total of what I know about Footloose, I’ve never seen the original and up until about 2 months ago I didn’t even know it was set in a town that banned dancing. I’d heard reference to the idea before in shows like The Simpsons or [...]

releasing this week: Dear John and Repo Men

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 [...]

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 [...]

review: Couples Retreat (2009)

I tend to go into films with low expectations. I don’t like being disappointed so it’s easier to just not expect very much, that way there’s a better chance of being pleasantly surprised… With Couples Retreat I wasn’t pleasantly surprised. It was pretty much as I expected. A bit of seriousness, a bit of talking [...]

review: (500) Days of Summer (2009)

Saw this one courtesy of Phantom 105.2 Thanks guys! (500) Days of Summer is essentially a love story. I know it says it isn’t, but it is. It may be a quirky indie love story, but it’s still a love story. I wouldn’t let that put you off though; that is, if you are the [...]

review: Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

Sometimes I wonder if Seth Rogen sleeps… he seems to be in everything these days… Anyway, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the new film from Kevin Smith, director of such films as Clerks, Dogma and Chasing Amy. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not mad about Kevin Smith. It’s not that I think he’s [...]

review: Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006)

Don’t know where I’d heard of this film… I think it was probably when I was browsing through Leslie Bibb‘s filmography while doing the Iron Man review… Anyway wherever I heard of it, I thought it sounded interesting but I put it down as a film I’d never see – didn’t seem like the type [...]

review: Chasing Amy (1997)

There are some directors that I’m really into, like Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson and Tim Burton… however there are far more directors that I really have no particular thoughts on either way, I’ve seen a good few of their films but I’m still ambivalent. Paul Thomas Anderson is one – which I noted in the [...]
