Saw this a few weeks ago and since it got a few BAFTA nominations the other day I thought I’d better get my act together and do the review. Hey maybe it’ll convince someone to go and see it, after all it only seems to have 424 ratings on IMDb… Nowhere Boy is a biopic […]
moreSince this is a documentary as opposed to a feature film I thought I’d try to bash this review out quickly, no need to think about the characters or cinematography or anything… somehow I still managed to waffle on and on… oh well! Usually I don’t bother with much of a synopsis but I don’t […]
moreMoon is a sci-fi film conceived and directed by Duncan Jones. It stars Sam Rockwell as the sole inhabitant of a moon base that serves as the operational centre
moreThe standees in Movies@Dundrum describe Slumdog Millionaire as the “The feel-good film of the decade”… so from the get go I’m worried; I’m not usually into “feel-good” films.

moreMy my, I have been lax lately, I really need to write more reviews… it’s not like I haven’t seen any films lately… it’s just that I haven’t had a chance to write any reviews… Anyway so… I saw Iron Man the other day. You may have heard of it, it’s directed by the multi-talented […]
moreThere 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 […]
