Very rarely does a film offer so much potential, yet fall so spectacularly short. This one is screaming for a remake because in so many ways, it very nearly hits the mark but doesn’t. Sometime in the future, humans are engineered to stop aging at 25. However, there is a catch – you only...

I’ll cut to the chase – go watch this film. Lately I have become more and more of a film snob. Without a doubt, the recent big-budget offerings from hollywood have gone some way to encourage this. I should not be so surprised – the trend of consumer culture leads the “market” to favour...

Inception is a great movie, and one that really must be seen. Christopher Nolan delights moviegoers once again with a summer blockbuster that is sure to have everyone talking. This sci-fi heist movie is held together by great performances by the leads which tie in the resolution of emotional issues with strong dialogue and...

The Secret of Kells

A relatively unknown animated feature from Ireland rocketed into the limelight with an academy award nomination for best animated feature. Although ultimately losing out to Pixar’s “Up”, it is the author’s opinion that this film should have won that particular award.

The readers of my website who have been following for a long time will know that I have written the occasional film review. In truth, I review a shockingly small percentage of the films that I watch. Part of the reason for this is because I often can’t be bothered, but the main reason...
