Cinema Reviews
The Great Gatsby
How are we to take a death seriously when it looks like something out of a cabaret?
Star Trek Into Darkness
There are a few breaks for plot, wobbly-eyed bonding and nerd-centric chortling, but not many.
The Place Beyond the Pines
Through some foliage dreamily.
Compliance
An unsettling psychological thriller
Jack the Giant Slayer
A 3D re-imagining of the old beanstalk chestnut.
Good Vibrations
The tale of Terri Hooley, Belfast’s resident punk impresario.
In the House
A mischievously amusing musing on the creative muse, the artifice of writing, and “the dictatorship of sex.”
Reality
Cannes Grand Prix-winning tragi-comedy.
Gangster Squad
Everybody got guns!
Lincoln
Daniel Day-Lewis and Stephen Spielberg’s Oscar-bait ‘masterpiece’ is problematic, to say the least.
Les Miserables
Les Miserables is an extremely affecting drama which, despite its revolutionary codas, seems to have left politics as an afterthought to the personal.
Dollhouse
[A] brave and formally daring piece of Irish cinema that should be applauded and encouraged.
