Film Review | Insidious: Chapter 3 – (Scare x Creepy Music) + Horror Cliché = Money… But…

Ged Murray Jun 8, 2015 0

Insidious: Chapter 3 is in some ways a change up for the franchise. The original director, James Wan, presumably Scrooge McDuck-ing it in a money pool right now, has sailed off into a glorious, post Fast and Furious 7 future and handed over…

Review | Danny Collins – The Further Demise of Al Pacino?

Ged Murray May 27, 2015 0

This is a film about Al Pacino playing a thinly veiled metaphor for Al Pacino. Danny Collins is a commercially successful but artistically bankrupt, ageing singer who wants for nothing financially - a Bob Dylan turned into a Neil Diamond.…

Review | Mad Max: Fury Road is Mad, Mental and Totally Mesmerising

Ged Murray May 14, 2015 0

It's pretty reliable to assume that those calling themselves 'mad' are generally some of the most tedious people out there. We've all been cornered by some self styled 'mad bastard' at some stage or other and ended up bored to tears. This…

Review | The Connection

Ged Murray May 11, 2015 0

This is based on the same events that inspired 'The French Connection' but since this movie is from France they just call it 'The Connection'. Actually, the French title is, confusingly, 'La French'. Not 'Francais' but the English word…

Ged Murray May 1, 2015 0

Dublin can often be a mandatory bohemia. Few people from around the world come here to make it, not like they do in New York or London, at any rate. If you're young it often feels like a holding area for future emigrants or somewhere people…

John Wick – Film Review

Ged Murray Apr 8, 2015 0

'Jesus, man. Leave it out, it's not worth it'. That is one of the things that a sane person would have shouted at the characters in this movie. I'm glad no one did as there are no sane people in John Wick. We see Keanu Reeves as the titular…

I Used To Live Here – Film Review

Ged Murray Apr 2, 2015 0

I Used to Live Here doesn't touch on the issue of suicide but chooses to address it head on. Set in modern day Tallaght, it follows young teenager Amy, played by an amazing newcomer, Jordanne Jones, who is dealing with the loss of her…

Run All Night – A Review

Ged Murray Mar 13, 2015 0

Liam Neeson films are generally as rigidly structured as a haiku. You have a mostly useless, probably haunted, normally drunk, violent auld fella who, via a series of fantastic circumstances, is offered a shot a redemption through…

Suite Francaise – A Review

Ged Murray Mar 12, 2015 0

Suite Francaise is the adaptation of the novel of the same name by Iréne Nemirovsky. The novel itself was based on a manuscript that came to light decades after the author was shipped off to be murdered in a concentration camp. It's sad to…

Jupiter Ascending – A Review

Ged Murray Feb 6, 2015 0

Have you wanted to see a film with Channing Tatum wearing elf ears and fighting a space lizard? Would you like to see Eddie Redmayne delivering lines like a half cut octogenarian constantly on the verge of orgasm? If you've been longing to…
