***COMPETITION CLOSED. WINNER HAS BEEN CONTACTED*** Screen Cinema on D’Olier Street are kicking off their Action Season with a screening of Die Hard on this coming Monday night at 20.20. We don’t really have anything to say about it other than Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother F’kers!! It’s this on the big screen: Must-see action, Bruce Willis, airport setting (who doesn’t love airports?) and shoulder pads. What more do you need? If, like us, you’re under the age of 40 then chances are you didn’t catch it the first time around. So, if you’re up for a trip to 1988, see you on Monday night. But wait, as they say, there’s more. The lovely people at Screen have given us a pair of tickets to give away. So if you’d like to join us for some popcorn and Bruce Willis action (you don’t actually have to sit with us) then just leave a comment … There’s more →

Puns didn’t seem appropriate, and my usual smartarseisms a bit too flippant. I think this is a really snappy idea, and not just because I also write for the Anti-Room. Disclaimer out of the way? Here we go, then. The Anti-Room, in case you’ve been living down a well, is a site written by a fantastically slapdash bunch of ladies who cover everything from pop culture to politics. We love film, and we love a lively discussion over drinks, so we’re combining the lot in our monthly film club, which starts tomorrow night, Wednesday 6th, in the Workman’s Club on Wellington Quay, Dublin! We’ll be showing cult or classic films, and there is sombre promise of cake. I shall be missing for the inaugural screening, … There’s more →

Casablanca classic

Last night I had the great pleasure of seeing Casablanca on the big screen, in The Screen cinema on D’Olier Street. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. The Hollywood glamour of the beautiful Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), the stunning clothes, the multi cultural setting in Casablanca where many people are waiting to escape to America via the one flight a day to Lisbon, the backdrop of World War II, the soft focus shots on the beautiful girl and her big, sad eyes, the stolen moments together, the heartbreak, the drama! Casablanca won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture despite the fact that it … There’s more →
