 | Cathy Davey - Tales Of Silversleeve (CD)A must for any music lover. - richeyc2000Dublin born singer/songwriter Cathy Davey delivers a tidy, enjoyable and enriching album in Tales of Silversleeve. There is something about this style of music that lures you into wanting to replay the tracks again, also the music is performed and sung with confident execution. Both of which are good things but the overall resonance of the music is more more ... |
 | P.S., I Love You (Film)If there is a Hell, Then it is to watch this Over and Over and Over and Over and etc etc - richeyc2000Based on the bestselling debut novel by Cecilia Ahern, this movie, like the source material, is obviously designed with a specific target audience in mind and needs to be judged within this context. The best description I can give to my experience watching P.S. I Love You is being stuck in an elevator for two hours with the most mundane of music being piped more ... |
 | I Am Legend (Film)I Am Not A Bad Film! - richeyc2000Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, The Last Man on Earth has already inspired two prominent movies, The Last Man on Earth (1964) with Vincent Price, and The Omega Man (1971) with Charles Heston. Director Francis Lawrence brings Will Smith to the screen as the last man on earth… sort of. I am Legend opens with a news report in which a doctor (Emma more ... |
 | Apocalypto (Film)Apocalypto = A New Beginning! - Richie CActor now turned director Mel Gibson brings us Apocalypto. This is, I believe, Gibson's finest hour as a film maker to date. The film starts off with a group of hunter/gathers chasing a tapair around a jungle. It is their lifestyle and free will that makes them who they are. Here we meet Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood) a son, husband and a father who's heroic more ... |
 | Crank (Film)They Probably Should Have Given Him More of That Chinese S**t! - Richie CJason Statham is so type cast for this role no other person on the face of the planet could pull it off. Assassin Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) wakes up and finds out by a cruel twist of fate that he, an assassin, has being poisoned in his own home with a lethal Chinese cocktail by gangster Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo). The result of this cocktail of death more ... |
 | Doom (Film)Did I just Waste 20 Minutes of Life Reviewing This, Did I waste 113 Minutes Watching It. - Richie CAnother computer game has managed to make its way onto the big screen and quickly off of it again. Doom is just one of a long line and of many to come. Sarge (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) is the leader of the Rapid Response Tactical Squad sent to a remote station in Mars to eliminate all hostiles before they eliminate them. With the scenario set all more ... |
 | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (CD)Go Ahead! Clap Your Hands, Say YEAH!!!!!!! - Richie CMaybe no one told Clap Your Hands Say Yeah that you only get one chance to make a first impression, or maybe they just have massive Balls? Whatever it is their self-released, self-titled debut CD opens with the weirdest, most potentially grating bit of music ever. You see most people are afraid to listen to something new unless it is stated that more ... |
 | The Devil Wears Prada (Video)If it's Not Prada, It's Nada! - Richie CUgly Betty has been seen to be the best show on television because of the runaway success of the film adoption of the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger, The Devil Wears Prada. Anne Hathaway is Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a young idealistic woman who heads to New York in search of her one true passion, Journalism. The lack of any success has more ... |
 | A Scanner Darkly (Film)A Druged up Keanu Reeves, Why Not? Just Might Loosen Out His Acting - Richie CDrug users James Barris (Robert Downey Jr.), Ernie Luckman (Woody Harrelson) and Donna Hawthorne (Winona Ryder) are all addicted to a futuristic drug called Substance D. The drug is so addictive 'you're either on it or you've never tried it'. Special agent Bob Arctor/Fred (Keanu Reeves) is sent into infiltrate this group to source where the drug is coming more ... |
 | Babel (Film)Babel On! - Richie CYesterday, my friend Will and I went to see Babel. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and bounced ideas of the film between ourselves and it was very apparent that communication or the lack of is the main theme of this film. We see three different storylines running parallel to each other to show how people thrust into different circumstances where normally they more ... |
 | Stranger Than Fiction (Film)A Moderate Kaufman Style Film - Richie CStranger Than Fiction has a very inventive and funny enough storyline to it. One day Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) wakes up to find that his life is being narrated in the third person by an English accented woman. At the same time Karen Effiel (Emma Thompson) is stuck between a rock and a hard place as she seems to have some sort of writers more ... |
 | Brokeback Mountain (Video)I Wish I Knew How To Quit You! - Richie CI went to see this film with an open mind. Too many people focused on the supposed homosexual content. To my dismay I could not figure out what all the big fuss was about. I emphasised with these characters as I or anyone who has ever been in a relationship could feel their pain. Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) is the one who wants to throw it all out there and go more ... |
 | Walk the Line (Video)When The Man Comes Around! - Richie CJoaquin Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon were chosen by 'The Man in Black' and June Carter to play their respective parts. What better way to repay such an honour than give one of the best performances of their careers so far, both being nominated for best actor and actress Oscar with Witherspoon winning her category. Also both Phoenix and more ... |
 | Lucky Number Slevin (Video)Kansas City Shuffle - Richie CNewton's third law of motion states that 'For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction'. It is from here where the film draws its greatest influence and a superb ensemble cast is provided for your viewing pleasure in Lucky Number Slevin. Slevin Kelevra (Josh Hartnett) is just the wrong guy, in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Lindsey) Lucy more ... |
 | Inside Man (Video)Who? What? When? Why? - Richie C“My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself”. The only real flaw I would have to say about this film is that unfortunately Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) did repeat himself. But that is of no significance to the film, just my own personal opinion. With the air of more ... |
 | 16 Blocks (Video)16 Blocks Too Far - Richie CA solid performance from Bruce Willis as Detective Jack Mosley is what truly carries this film along. You see our character for what he is, a burned out, alcoholic cop with a bad hip and a past that won't let him forget. Sounds vaguely familiar! Eddie Bunker (Mos Def), if you can stand his accent, offering unexpectedly concrete support as the career more ... |
 | Slither (Video)Slugs + Zombies + Comedy + Horror = Slither - Richie CSlither, James Gunn's first Hollywood film as director, is a low-budget, low taste, high entertainment splatter thriller. Be warned: Slither follows all of the typical laws of horrors and offers stomach wrenching scenes to match. A true tribute to the eye popping gores of 20th century horrors i.e. Evil Dead, Hellraiser, The Blob, etc. more ... |
 | Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (Film)If It Be Your Will! - Richie CIf I felt the need to see so much of U2, I would not have gone to see this film. Sure they may be one of the world's biggest bands but seriously, it was all a marketing ploy. I went to the Point Depot to see 'Came So Far For Beauty' and on the average it was like the film, most of the songs had no individuality except for some brief moments where you more ... |
 | Shortbus (Film)Leave you inhibitions at the door. - Richie CWriter/director John Cameron Mitchell, hot off the cult success of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which he also starred in, introduces us to Shortbus in one of the most explicit opening scenes that is certifiable. To perceive this film as a purely sex driven movie would be the completely wrong thing to do. This movie shows the world another side of homosexual more ... |
 | Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary (CD)Grounds For Divorce! - Richie CWolf Parade, where do I begin? If you know your music, you will hear an essence of Bowie like structure and Pixie rhythms to the tracks of Apologies to Queen Mary. For a band to grow you need certain ingredients and Wolf Parade have it! Included are electronics, keyboards, guitar, drums, and two forever tuneful vocalists, Dan Boeckner and more ... |
 | Talladega Nights (Video)If your not first, you could be second or third? - Richie CIf you're not first, you're last, the infamous words of Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell). As a NASCAR driver Rickey Bobby has it all, a 'beautiful' family an impeccable career and his best friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly) as his team mate. However, when flamboyant French Formula One driver Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) turns up, his throne as King of more ... |
 | Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Video)Hedwig - 'It's my first day as a woman, already it's that time of the month'. - Richie CI only recently stumbled across John Cameron Mitchell from watching Shortbus, marvellous film but we will save that for another time. Being based on the already successful New York show, Hedwig and The Angry Inch, can only, be embraced by all movie lovers. Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) narrates her story through a series of flashbacks and more ... |
 | Pan's Labyrinth (Film)Hey Kids? You Like Fantasy, right? - Richie CHey Kids? You Like Fantasy, right? Think again! Director Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) initiates Pan's Labyrinth out with a young girl Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) travelling with her pregnant mother (Ariadna Gil) to her stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez) in the dense verdure of northern Spain. Vidal and his fascist brigade have set up more ... |
 | Little Miss Sunshine (Video)Rent it, Buy it, Borrow it, Steal it, Just watch it! - Richie CI have selected 'Little Miss Sunshine' as the years best movie. Anyone who enjoys movies knows the buzz that you feel when you know you've seen something magical. I am well aware of the movies mixed reception, however no other movie this year created such a eclectic collection of characters that the audience wanted to see redeem themselves. The film more ... |
 | An Inconvenient Truth (Film)What If? - Richie C'An Inconvenient Truth', is a documentary of the speech on global warming given by Al Gore will be released in Ireland or to what extent but having seen it I would highly recommend it. Gore strives to raise awareness and disipate misunderstandings, continuing a campaign he has been a supporter of from his earliest days in office. The speech is littered with more ... |
 | The Last King Of Scotland (Film)Adrenalin-filled thriller, Great way to start the 2007 Film Year. - Richie CDirector Kevin MacDonald gives us a film adaptation of Giles Forden's novel The Last King of Scotland. The opening sequence sets out the tone of the film by stating that it is 'inspired by true events' and leaves the audience debating over the areas of fact from fiction. Set in the 1970s, a young Scottish graduate decides to leave it all behind in the more ... |
 | Superman Returns (Video)The Return Of Superman - CKI'm lucky enough to be based in New Zealand at the moment where 'Superman Returns' has been released so I offer you my review of a movie I have been looking forward to for a long time now. The review contains no spoilers as to plot points but does refer to specific elements. 'Superman Returns' sees the return in every sense of the word of Superman to the more ... |
