The marketing and hype around Solo: a star wars story is remarkable for its absence. I barely saw a trailer for it. Spotted very few posters, if any, outside the cinema. And the excitement levels around it were totally non-existent as far as I could see. Was anyone hyped for its release? Don’t you find […]
Rewatched 17th Mar 2018 So, my thoughts on this rewatch are “wow, Stark is a dick, and no Pepper, his behaviour with women is not cool. Not cool at all. Also the little transphobic and homophobic jokes, so not cool. But I still enjoyed it, and I agree with my past self about the importance […]
Political interference in the Avengers’ activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. And wasn’t it great? First thing I said after watching it was “let’s watch it again.” And I did, although two days later, not straight away. So yeah, I really enjoyed it. But it is one of those […]
Rewatched : 18th March 2018 So yeah, Tony is still a dick and Pepper has turned into an utter whiney damsel in distress. Original review from May 2010 below. IMDb ; Metacritic I really enjoyed Iron Man[1] and I love Mr. Downey Jr. and I think Jon Favreau is so very adorable. All positives, so […]

I’m pretty far from a royalist. So there were a few moments during The Young Victoria when my hackles […]
Just been to see Master and Commander: The far side of the Ocean and have to say I had a very enjoyable afternoon. Even before the film started I was entertained by the Irish Health Board’s anti-AIDs ad, even if it did elicit some anti-homosexual groans from a a couple of lads up the back […]
This is not a film for everyone, as I watched it quite a few members of the audience left. One couple even left with less the 20 minutes to go, nevertheless I am going to recommend it because I really really enjoyed it. I haven’t seen any of Von Trier’s films before, and I’m not sure if this will make me more likely to, but if he ever does make the others in the trilogy then I will go to see them.
