A Nightmare on D’Olier Street

For one week only, Scream Cinema is opening its doors to the most frightening films imaginable. Okay, that’s not strictly true. But they are playing some great classic horrors, starting with The Thing tonight at 8.30. Stan talked more about the resurrection of The Thing in his post yesterday. If you miss it tonight, you can catch it again on Saturday. I’ll definitely be heading along to see Child’s Play on Saturday, but there’s plenty to choose from over the next few days, including a surprise screening on Friday night: Wednesday 28th October 6.30pm - Ghost 8.30pm - The Lost Boys

Screen Classics

Okay, we’ve talked about it before - the classic movie season that Screen Cinema was running. I loved it. It’s been great to have the opportunity to see All About Eve and Casablanca on the big screen. I even got to watch Brief Encounter for the very first time. Well, now that the season is over they are already planning the next and they want your help. For being so lovely and greeting the screenings of classic films with such enthusiasm, they are opening the vote to you for future classic films. Just email info@screencinema.ie with your top three choices from the following list. My three will be The 39 Steps (apparently there’s a remake in the works), The Good, The Bad And The Ugly and The Great Escape. What about you? Drop a comment below with your list or with some suggestions that aren’t on this list. I’d love … There’s more

Pride & Prejudice in a nutshell

Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, apparently one of those classic book that everyone should read. Personally, I find it intollerably boring. So for anyone who hasn’t read it, let me cut out the hard work. Mr. Darcy Nothing is good enough for me. Ms. Elizabeth Bennet I could never marry that proud man. (They change their minds.) THE END
