Shutter Island – Review

Shutter Island, the oft-delayed Martin Scorsese adaptation of the best-selling Denis Lehane book finally hits Irish cinema screens on March 12th. Usually these kind of release date changes result from studio unease at something that took place during production, be it unsatisfactory effects or the commonly cited “creative differences”.

Capitalism: A Love Story – Review

There’s only one thing Michael Moore likes more than talking about his home-town of Flint, Michigan, and that’s having a bash at right-wing America. The unashamedly biased critic’s latest target is capitalism itself, in all its green coloured glory. Setting your sights a bit high there Micky?

The latest in this long [...]

A Serious Man – Review

Joel and Ethan Coen, fresh off their Academy Award winning No Country for Old Men, return to the silver screen to give us what is perhaps their most intriguing film to date. A Serious Man is that movie and man is it seriously good.

Releasing nationwide in Ireland today, New Moon has been hugely anticipated by Twilighters since the release of the first film Twilight last November. A cult like following has developed for the [...]

It’s the end of the world as we know it… 9 – Review

Living in the Netherlands does have certain advantages, especially when it comes to some movie release dates. The Dutch were fortunate in that 9, the animated movie from Shane Acker, came out on it’s intended release date 9.9.09. Naturally I popped along to check it out…
