It’s a testament to his prior work that I still call myself a Tim Burton fan. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s made a film that I can really say I liked. There have been films that were tolerable… films that were ok… but nothing actually… good.
moreIt’s Spy vs. Spy when Chris Pine and Tom Hardy find themselves fighting for the affections of Reese Witherspoon… This Means War. Apparently.
moreIt’s been so long since I’d written anything here I had to wonder if I was actually going to remember the password. Turns out I did. All is not lost folks, I am back to give you my many apparently unpopular (if my recent stints on Cinerama have taught me anything) opinions. I’ve decided to […]
moreYou 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 […]
moreA week or two ago I tweeted an interesting article from Awards Daily discussing some of the early contenders in the Oscar race for Best Lead Actress. Thankfully it looks like this year is going to be a much better year for women than last year and one of the movies that’s providing a lot […]

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 […]
moreI 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 […]
moreThe 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 […]
moreThere’s only really two directors that I would say I’m a big fan of, Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, in case you were wondering… but I do admire the films of Quentin Tarantino. They’re always so stylish, so cool. I met him briefly once at a signing in HMV Dublin and he was just as […]
