If you read the site regularly (or at least as regularly as I post) then you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of post-apocalyptic dystopia as a genre….

If you’ve seen Insidious, you will no doubt be wondering… how are they going to pick up from that ending?

Horror’s a difficult genre. You’ve got two main types of horror fans. Well ok, there’s all sorts of sub genres and all sorts of types but I’m breaking it down to two. Go with it.

With snowmageddon going on here, it’s hard to think about going outside at all, let alone going out to go to the cinema. But then that’s just what I did today. Not to this though. I went to this weeks ago. Today I went to Catfish. But that’s not important right now. Wikipedia (today, 21st […]

film review: Piranha 3D (2010)

August 24, 2010 // 4 Comments

Bouncing boobs and buckets of blood… … that’s right, Piranha 3D is most definitely, and unashamedly… … a B movie. Then again, what were you expecting from a film about prehistoric killer fish? Truth be told, there isn’t much to be said about Piranha 3D. It’s pretty much exactly what they promised. Between the fake […]

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 […]

January 16, 2010 // 4 Comments

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 […]

film review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

January 5, 2010 // 3 Comments

Apparently there have been many many many screen incarnations of Sherlock Holmes…. I haven’t seen any of them though. I actually know pretty much nothing about Sherlock Holmes beyond the fact that he’s a detective, he’s got a friend called Watson and he lives at 221B Baker’s Street. That last one was courtesy of a […]

film review: 2012 (2009)

I haven’t actually seen many Roland Emmerich movies… well ok, looking through his IMDb I’ve seen Stargate, Independence Day and 10,000BC but I didn’t know he did Stargate so… anyway… The point is I haven’t seen The Day After Tomorrow. Though, I’ve seen bits of here and there and it looks an awful lot like […]

film review: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009)

November 1, 2009 // No Comment

Looking over Terry Gilliam‘s filmography on IMDb, I notice that I’ve actually seen 9 of his 14 films… so you’d think I’d have an idea by now of what to expect. But the fact is that you just can’t know what to expect with him. Except that it’s going to be odd. The Imaginarium of […]
