 | Inception (Film)raises the bar for hollyword standards. - AaronQuinnThis movie will be on everyones tongues and your co-workers and friends will all be discussing it no doubt, because this movie is one of the best i've seen this year, if not the last few years! It's not perfect but its pretty damn close to it! Nolan delivers an awesome science fiction trippy, film that will blow your mind and its certain to be the type of more ... |
 | Men in Black 2 (Film)Would entertain newcomers to the Franchise. - AaronQuinnMen in Black 1 was a classic by any means and stole the crowds but the sequel vears away from the dark side and comes along with its spoofy sci-fi comedy and tommy lee and smith make the perfect duo. American director Barry Sonnenfeld said he wished to create a French Connection with aliens with Men In Black, his well-made and dark horror sci-fi flick that more ... |
 | Robin Hood (Film)a franchiuse that has long been exhausted - AaronQuinnRobin hood can only ever stick to the men in tights type genre if it wants to move forward, as for this film the fight scenes were quite good, and visuals satisfactory but for a Ridley Scott movie, everyone has higher expectations and it is a bit of a let down! Also everyones complaing about russells accents, i personally thought it didnt take away from the more ... |
 | Good Hair (Film)a good watch - AaronQuinnthis movie unvealed the complex and fascinating world of black peoples hair! I never knew about any of this let alone imagined theses things until these moves! Chris rock makes it an easy watch, id never have thought id have enjoyed a movie on this particular topic and its a break from the usual stuff he pours out and we get to see a different side to more ... |
 | How To Train Your Dragon (Video)Visuals and music perfect. - AaronQuinnI was astonished when i watched this film that it had not gotten greater coverage! the animation in it was astounding , almost photo realistic! Better than real life so to say! And the soundtrack was John Williams worthy as ive got the theme tune stuck in my head! As for the story it was fairly average and predictable but i wasnt bored for a second and it more ... |
 | Toy Story 3 (Film)Excellent - AaronQuinnBeing lucky enough to attend the Dublin premier i thoroughly enjoyed the screening! Its one of the greatest animated films this decade! Its a seamless continuation of the last movie and deals with the sad inevitability of leaving childhood and growing up. The visuals for one are stunning and its a definite cinema experience and without spoiling the movie more ... |
 | Predators (Film)acceptable - AaronQuinnDirector Nimrod Antal lives up to his meager reputation from his previous films such as Closer to Love but Predators is a step up.at least. The effects are standard compared to recent blockbusters but its still enjoyable to see predator back in action. Brody does his best given the case but the plot was a bit of a let down as this was probably the last more ... |
 | The Princess And The Frog (Film)hi ho hi ho Back to the 2D we go! - AaronQuinnI've always been a fan of Disney but they have been going downhill since Treasure Planet where they concentrated on the special effects and CGI but this movie has brought my love back for Disney! They concentrated on a great story and even thought it only took 3 years to make from concept it is a top notch film and i hope they continue on in this fashion! more ... |
 | Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Film)Weird and brilliant! - AaronQuinnOnly saw this the other day and im so glad i got to see it! Jim Carrey kate Winslet Elijah Wood all have great chemistry in the film and work terrifically! it follows Jim and kates characters as their relationship breaks down but they decide to undergo a strange procedure to erase all the memories of eachother. I wont spoil the movie any further! the acting more ... |
 | Up (Film)BALLOONS!!!! ..and death - AaronQuinnSenior citizen as the main character and a chubby kid. Apparantly pixar has gotten bored with all their success and decided to challenge themselves. I was at a private screening for this in cineworld courtesy of my animation lecturer in college, and thought the experience was brilliant! There was balloons everywhere and every cinema poster in sight was for more ... |
 | G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra (Film)G.I awesome - AaronQuinnWasn't expecting an amazing movie but it sure blew the socks off me! And on a screen the size of 3 houses it would want to be :P The acting was pretty shady but didn't take the enjoyment out of the film! The effects were amazing and I'd say if G.I. Joe The movie was made ten years ago we'd be ashamed of the effects! The effects were astounding though! And more ... |
 | Bruno (Film)Pretty good - AaronQuinnSo i just watched Bruno there, of course i heard the horror stories from it but im rarely offended by these things! How Sascha got away with the stuff is beyond me! The only thing that raises my eyebrow is the black kid in the film..what kind of parents would subject a kid to this? The film was funny throughout and laugh out loud at many parts but it felt more ... |
 | Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Film)worth a watch, nice adaptation. - AaronQuinnHellboy(ron perlman) is back in this sequel with the same cast as before. The film dellivers excellent special effects but its attempt at giving the film a scary feel doesn't quite work as it seems childish! There was some jaw dropping moments such as the giant plant attacking the city and the ectoplasm german guy , but overall it doesnt deliver much and more ... |
 | Hostel: Part II (Film)A fine sequel but even more gruesome - AaronQuinnThis movie is definitely NOT for the faint of heart! It'll leave you cowering behind the sofa, shaking in your blankie with a torch! If you saw the first film this one is definitely more predictable. The film continues on with the same character that the first one ended with, but stupidly he inevitable gets his head chainsawed off. Nice. The film then more ... |
 | Hostel (Film)Gritty to the bone - AaronQuinnThis movie is a must see for any horror fans but not a movie for you to get the popcorn out and watch with your girlfriend! With more blood than any zombie or war movie this film sets out the world of High-rollers paying big bucks for guilty pleasures-torturing and killing tourists. Annoying at times and unbearable to watch)during torture scenes) people more ... |
 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)Hate it or love it - AaronQuinnThere are mixed opinions about this film but i thought it was brilliant, I thought Michael Bay did a great job and if anyone says otherwise, I'd like to see them do better! Shia returns in this sequel where the Fallen transformers come back to earth and wreak havok. With some jaw dropping moments and some comical ones too this movie delivers the goods! more ... |
 | Valkyrie (Video)Worth a watch - Aaron QuinnI'm a fan of the war movies myself, but compared to classics like Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse now, Valkyrie isn't one worth mentioning. Interesting casting with Tom Cruise setting out to assassinate Hitler with a group of Anti-Hitler high rollers. At times the film is historically inaccurate but no harm, and i suppose it does shed some light upon the more ... |
 | Slumdog Millionaire (Film)The Oscars chose right this time - AaronQuinnJust saw this movie!WOW! It's amazing! I thought it would be a regular hollywood movie set in a fake world but this film really brought to light the slums of India. The main actor was brilliant! And to think this guy never had acting lessons and came from Skins on Channel 4! Fair play to him! the film had everything, drama, action, romance you name it! more ... |
 | Star Trek (Film)Great for trekkies and newbies - Aaron QuinnI myself am more of a star wars fan, but since that franchise has gone down the drains as of late I've become more interested in Star Trek. As the movie was highly anticipated and directed by Modern Day Spielberg , J.J. Abrams(Lost, Fringe,Heroes etc.) everyone knew this would go down well. And luckily for me being unfamiliar with Star Trek , all the t.v more ... |
 | Wolf Creek (Film)Scary - AaronQuinnThis movie is surprisingly gritty and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Us irish imagine Australia as a kind of utopia place with barrier reefs and surfing resorts but we fail to realise just how big and barren this country is. This film is based on the true events of what happened at Wolfe Creek, which is a meteor crater in the outback. A couple get more ... |
 | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Video)A curious film - AaronQuinnI'm sure everyone only watches this film because they're curious at the storyline, they want to find out what happens at the end ! I was no different! A friend recommended this to me and I knew roughly what the story was about so was interested to see how the film explained it. The actings pretty good throughout and there's even some comedic value at it! more ... |
 | Watchmen (Video)Brilliance - AaronQuinnJust saw watchmen,,,,wow! a fantastic adaptation of the graphic novel! people always say the books are better than the films based on them but wow this puts the graphic novels on the screen and beyond! If this film was made a decade ago it would have looked terrible but this movie is visually stunning! the soundtrack was off in a few bits but this was more ... |
 | Fast and Furious (Film)terrible - AaronQuinnthis film was an eyesore but if you like a film with a hopeless storyline and terrible acting like the previous movies you'll love this! this film should have been the original sequel bu didnt make the cut for some reason. Even racing fabs will be disappointed as there's only one race! Its a good tv movie but dont waste your popcorn on this cinematic more ... |
 | Enchanted (Film)not for people over the age of ten - AaronQuinni went with a friend to see this, with no idea of what it was about but i suppose i cant enjoy a film that was meant for kids, the musical aspect of the film was okay and i would enjoy that more than the modern HSM stuff , but the songs were nominated for 3 Academy awards? they werent that good! the story i gues was inventive, combining the worlds of more ... |
 | My Bloody Valentine 3D (Film)Film okay, but 3D aspect poor - AaronQuinnI probably wouldnt have gone to see tis remake if there wasnt the 3D aspect but i gave in and wanted to see how the world of 3D cinema had progressed..which wasnt much. The 3D was very poor throughout, with mediocre 2D effects during the dialogue scenes, and the only good 3D parts lasted about 5 seconds, such as pointing a gun out towards the audience and a more ... |
 | Rabbit Proof Fence (Film)Easily a classic, needs more publicity - AaronQuinnI thought this film was great, it was like a POW movie in australia with kids! The main kid was great and i really felt empathy for her character and was nervous and excited when she escaped. The tracker after her was really interesting and was a good character even though he lacked dialogue! I didnt know that this film was based on a true story till the more ... |
 | Primer (Film)Incredibly confusing. - AaronQuinnThis film was confusing and painful to watch. It lacked everything of an inventive movie. The characters were dull, the dialogue petty, and the whole idea of the film a waste of time. If i didnt read on the back of the DVD that it was about time travel i wouldnt have a clue what this film is about. Yet maybe its one of those movies , you eithere hate it or more ... |
 | Twilight (Film)Stunning adaptation! - Aaron QuinnI want a twilight fan until a friend lended me the book. I read the first book within a week just before the film came out and i enjoyed it thouroughly and was eager to see the film! I had high expectations and the movie delivered! Every girl in the cinmea was gasping when the main charactera Edward and Bella arrived on the silver screen and i must admit it more ... |
 | The Day The Earth Stood Still (Film)Not a film for this time, - AaronQuinnTHis film was realeased at a bad time in my opinion, as the whole world is in deep recession and the last thing people want to be worrying about is how much damage they are doing to the earth. This film was ahead of itself in the 50's and despite its lack of jaw-dropping effects and abudance of cardboard scenery it still was inspiring and a great film and more ... |
 | The Happening (Film)Disappointing! - AaronQuinnWith such high publicity and great advertising i was eager to sit down and turn this flick on but as the story progressed it just wasnt a thriller and was more of a comedy! People running away from plants?? Come on! and that scene where he's scared of the plastic plant is just plain silly! The only good part of the film was the sense of mystery at the start more ... |
 | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (Film)good and a film apart from itself. - AaronQuinnyou dont have to see the first film to enjoy this! (which i didnt) The film is great animation which puts the likes of shrek to shame! the characters are all very individual and the voice casting is excellent such as David Schwimmer as the Giraffe and Chris Rock as the Zebra(s)! I loved the penguin characters (everyone has to!) and their private eye 1930's more ... |
 | Fred Claus (Video)Good for kids!' - AaronQuinnits christmas time again so this would get you in the spirit if you rented it out and watched it with the kids! The story is pretty basic but quite quirky with vince vaughn being santa's little bro! The acting is very poor but a younger audience wont notice that big a-list oscar winning actors are shaming their talents in this film! funny characters like more ... |
 | Eight Legged Freaks (Film)enjoyable - AaronQuinngood mindless comedy for all ages. even with a story of disaster and death you still laugh at this film! the story may be pretty basic with the mutated spiders but proves to be an enjoyable film with plenty of blood and guts for the gore fans! the eccentric radio dj was a very funny character and the twist at the end was unexpected and fulfilling. top notch more ... |
 | Waltz With Bashir (Film)i love the animation. - AaronQuinnAri Folman's hypnotic cartoon Waltz With Bashir is a dramatic milestone in the way documentaries are told. The film animates the dreams and traumatic personal memories of Israeli soldiers who fought against the Palestinians in the first Lebanese war in the early 1980s. It's so beautifully painted that it is hard to believe the ingredients. In a bar one more ... |
 | V for Vendetta (Film)Stunning to say the least - AaronQuinnThis film is the perfect adaptation of a graphic novel and this sets the bar for future graphic novel films. The film tells the story of the revolutionary,Guy Fawke's inspired character, "V". This film has everything, love, action, and science fiction. "V" seems to be a perfect assassin who can not be killed because of his ideas! The more ... |
 | Evan Almighty (Film)Doomed from the start! - AaronQuinnI loved the bruce almighty film as im a huge fan of jim carrey, but this sequel was evident in the adverts that it wasnt going to be great! More of a family film than Bruce Almighty and with no deep thought provoking moments, this movie could have been better. The story in itself was quite ridiculous but i guess it would have inevitably been made by some more ... |
 | The Island (Film)Great action thriller - AaronQuinnMe, being a lover of sci-fi thought this movie was great! the story is enjoyable , the casting was perfect and the dialogue was suited well. I liked the appearance of Steve Buscemi too! The futuristic and deep moral issues underlying in the film really makes this one stand aside! I would recommend this for any age and every sci-fi film! This film is REALLY more ... |
 | Iron Maiden - Brave New World (CD)Compared to the rest: - AaronQuinnThis is definitely not one of my favorite Maiden albums, it is closer to the bottom on that list. Brave New World lacks the excitement and the sense of power that pervaded the pre-1990 releases. It seems to me that every time a chorus or a good passage comes along it is repeated endlessly until it loses any impact. Blood Brothers, Out of the silent planet more ... |
 | Saw V (Film)Sequels bring movies down. - AaronQuinnI thought the movie was only slightly better than the 4th, which I didn't like at all, and I loved the first 3. In this one they don't develop the characters in the game at all and it's not at all suspenseful as you know 1 person will die during each trap. Also, some of the traps Hoffman builds are pretty absurd especially for a detective with no more ... |
 | The Dark Knight (Film)Action Film of the decade. - gapmunkyDark as night and nearly as long, Christopher Nolan's new Batman movie feels like a beginning and something of an end. Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, it goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind — including “Batman Begins,” Mr. Nolan's 2005 pleasurably moody more ... |
 | Children of Men (Film)excellent,deserves more appeal - gapmunkythis movie was great! the acting was impeccable, the story was interesting and the visuals delivered! the ending was quite disappointing and didnt feel that it was thought out well enough but rather than that the war-feel and the fight for survival and future shock reality of the world was terrific! more ... |
 | Alien (The Director's Cut) (Film)CULT CLASSIC Innovative story . - gapmunkyexcellent film, one of the best sci-fi movies of the era. Alien has so many cult moments that it can be watched over and over again! the effects are stunning and Ridley plays her part excellently! The face-huggers are creepy and the whole film has lots of tense and scary moments to keep you screaming! a must see for sci-fi fans! more ... |
 | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Video)Hard to beat the oldies but delivers - gapmunkyVery good movie despite what everyone says. It would be very hard to delivery another cult classic after the perfect first 3 but spielberg and lucas don't do a shabby job. There was ridulous bits like C.G.i gophers and Shia LeBoufs tarzan-esque encounter with monkeys but despite that its enjoyable and crammed full of action, and with people complaining more ... |
 | No Country For Old Men (Video)The oscars picked a good one!THis movie is very creepy and the story is compelling - gapmunkyTHis movie is very creepy and the story is compelling and the casting is perfect. The story kicks off to a good start and keeps the viewer interested throughout! This movie deserved its oscar and i would recommend everyone to see this. The assassin was very well played and was very disturbing. A must see! more ... |
 | The Simpsons Movie (Film)Good family fun - gapmunkyThis film was full of memorable moments and some annoying ones(spider-pig). I reccommend this for the children audience of the simpsons and not the long term fans, but they did well considering its very hard to come up with a movie after some 12 years of tv episodes! Family Guy did a much better ob of giving their movie and episode feel rather than the high more ... |
 | The Mist (Video)Predictable yet enjoyable - gapmunkyThis tale of Stephen King's seemed like a rip off of "The Fog" but was well pulled off by the end. The film character's weren't very strong and it seemed like a tv drama the way they acted, and gosh that religious lady had me gringing my teeth i felt like turning it off until she was dead! I liked the ending which was very deep and the creatures more ... |
 | Burn After Reading (Film)The coen brothers deliver again! - gapmunkythis film was very enjoyable! Malkovich and Brad Pitt may seem a weird combination but they both played their roles excellently! The film seemed relatively quirky and light hearted but the outbursts of violence took me by suprise especially when Malkovich attacked the jim owner after the break in! Pitt was by far the most enjoyable and had the whole cinema more ... |
 | 30 Days Of Night (Video)Gruesome and Thrilling - gapmunkyWhat more could one want! It was an excellent film with an easy to pick up story and recognisable characters, I enjoyed this immensely being a fan of vampire films, and this one sure delivered. With it's "from dusk till Dawn" kinda story it didnt let you down when it cam to bloody massacres and suspense enduring moments! the film had the perfect more ... |
 | Wanted (Video)not bad but not great. - gapmunkythis film looked good in the adverts but failed to deliver. The main actor wasn't appropriate casting!!! BUT its still nice to watch if you're into no brainer action movies! It seemed like a film steven seagal should be in, but since he's pretty elusive these days i guess they can't afford him. The idea of curving bullets and the faith loom was ridiculous more ... |
 | Iron Man (Video)iron man is a good superhero movie - gapmunkythis movie is a perfect rental movie for all ages. I love the futuristic aspirations featured in the movie and the overall look of the movie is sharp and the main character is a witty person and very likeable. This movie is great for a superhero movie, even though it has it's downpoints such as lack of serious dialogue and partially poor acting on other more ... |
 | Quantum of Solace (Film)Quantum of Solace is good. - gapmunkyQuantum is a good film but we ll compare it to the might casino royale which was excellent. Casino is indefinitely better and more exciting but quantum is still better than the Casino's predecessors. The bond films with pierce brosnan were gimmicky and all of them seemed like one liner films full of adverts for phones and shavers.. The new series with more ... |
