Well, well, well… what have we got here? It’s been a couple of years but J.J. Abrams has finally come out with a new film. Super 8 is actually only his 3rd film but with Steven Spielberg all over the promotional materials, you can rest assured this is a biggie. Ok, to be fair, they’ve […]
moreI’ve always had a soft spot for the Planet of the Apes films. I’ve only seen the first one but I really like the idea. You know, a planet full of smart apes, something about that resonates with me. Hehe. It’s been 38 years since the last of the original series and 10 years since […]
moreGoodness! Priest is nearly upon us and I’ve only done one post on it… and that was months ago! Anyway yes, as I said in that post – alternate future? post-apocalyptic dystopia? I’m there. It’s my favourite genre of fiction. I don’t care if there’s vampires, cannibals, zombies or just a simple breakdown of civilisation. […]
moreProudly on the poster, Attack The Block proclaims “From the producers of Shaun of the Dead“. Now, I love Shaun of the Dead, that’s why I’m choosing to ignore that line… I don’t want to burden this innocent first time feature director with those kind of expectations. Let’s let him stand on his own two […]
moreI’m a big fan of the X-Men. Well, more accurately, I’m a big fan of the X-Men films and that brilliant cartoon they had in the ’90s – here’s a flashback for y’all. Oh how I loved that cartoon… I had the theme as a ringtone for a while. It was so good… Anyway, I’m […]
moreSource Code is a sci-fi thriller from Duncan Jones, director of the critically acclaimed sci-fi drama, Moon. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead) as Captain Colter Stevens, Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone) and Vera Farmiga (The Departed). A soldier wakes up disorientated and suddenly finds himself seemingly in someone else’s body. His mission: To find the […]
moreAs you know, if you read my last review, I don’t really like watching trailers in general… but I do like to watch the first ones as they give you a flavour for the film without (generally) giving too much away. Thing is, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep […]

I spy with my little eye…. some kind of alternate future / post-apocalyptic dystopia!
moreAt first glance, a follow up to 1982 sci-fi film, TRON, seems like an odd prospect. It has been a long long time and it’s very much a cult film. What seems odder is that it’s being revived as a mass-market Disney feature… … Or perhaps it’s not that odd at all. The success of […]
moreSo I reckoned it was probably time I did a feature on something… I didn’t want to pick anything too far away because well, release dates change all the time, so I picked Iron Man 2. Actually I’m not entirely sure of the release date on this. It’s supposed to be in Irish cinemas from […]
