Pyjama Girls – Review

by Anthony on April 15, 2010

First of all, I’m really happy to be reviewing an Irish documentary that is about to receive a cinematic showing, and kick off the brilliant Stranger Than Fiction Festival. Maya Derrington’s film tells the story of a group of teenage girls from working class Dublin who spend most of their time out and about in, [...]

We had a great chat about documentaries on The Venntertainment Show a few weeks back (Check out the podcast). Our main focus was the Stranger Than Fiction Festival being held by the IFI from today, 15th April till the 18th April in the IFI cinemas, Temple Bar.
We wanted to recommend a few films from the [...]

She & Him — Volume Two.

by Donal Cumiskey on March 24, 2010

In advance, you should really know that I am completely biased by my love for Zooey Deschanel. She could probably squawk into a microphone, release a marauding bunch of wild animals, and trash the recording studio, all the while recording the whole cacophony, and on its release I would still hail it as great music. [...]

Greenzone: A Review

by Rob C on March 12, 2010

I was lucky enough to be invited along to an exclusive preview of Greenzone by Universal and Simply Zesty last week. We all know that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass have 2 excellent Bourne films behind them, so their reputation is firm with a few hits under their belts. I’d also read some previews on [...]

Soupy Norman

by Rob C on February 5, 2010

I love being made laugh and am really surprised when an Irish show makes me do so. I posted this a few weeks back, and had the point made that Irish comedy is not where it should be. Many feel like this, all you need to do to understand that is to take a look [...]

Edge Of Darkness: A Review

by Paul Hickey on February 2, 2010

Released: Out Now
There is a lot riding on ‘Edge of Darkness’. In one sense it is the latest in a string of very successful directorial efforts from Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) and in another sense it marks the return of Mel Gibson to acting after a near 8 year break. I was personally very excited [...]

Hot Chip – One Life Stand – A Review

by Rob C on January 29, 2010

Rewind two years. Hot Chip would have featured on my top songs of the year list. ‘Ready For The Floor’ was an anthem, and the band could do no wrong in the eyes of many. ‘Made In The Dark’ is still one of my favourite albums and their previous effort ‘The Warning’ which featured classics [...]

Is the iPad all it could be?

by Rob C on January 28, 2010

Like the rest of the world, I was tuned in all afternoon and evening, dying to see what Apple’s latest and greatest invention was going to be called and what it would look like. Initially, I was impressed. The iPad is very easy on the eye as you can see.
But my question is, could they [...]
