1. The Dark Knight Rises Every Christopher Nolan project is shrouded in secrecy, but what we do know about The Dark Knight Rises makes it arguably the most anticipated film of 2012. With a release date in July, this will be the blockbuster of the summer. Tom Hardy plays Bane, Anne Hathaway Catwoman and an all-star cast which includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be a clue to how this trilogy will end. Fanboys have been circulating theories for months, but one fact is well known; this will be Nolan’s last Batman project as director and he will most definitely go out with a bang. 2. The Avengers All those side projects (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor) have been leading up to the big one. Oh, and by the way, 2012 will be Tom Hiddleston’s year…

Surreptitiously fretting over which rock this Justin Bieber kiddie crawled out from under, so you don’t have to. There’s a good reason for my sleb-related silence of late, and it has nothing to do with my growing up a tad. I haven’t been poisoning you with snippets on celebrity slip-ups because, Lord help us, celebrities have been so bloody boring lately. It’s Awards Season (we all lookin’ forward to this one, yo) so all the kookiness has been reined back and straightjacketed into gowns galore - oh, the gowns! Oh, the lipstick! Oh, the drudgery of the red carpet! I’m so, so disillusioned with my celebrities these days. They’re acting with the grace and cop on of … well, real people, just with more photoshoppy goodness. Of course, I could start banging on (forgive the pun) about celebrity infidelities, but there’s something very off about airing the dirty linen of … There’s more →

Surreptitiously knowing who Tila Tequila is, so you don’t have to. There’s something about the middle of February that makes one think of lurve, is there not? Cupid’s arrows, gay Paris, two-person snuggies, last rolos, finding your tongue halfway down an Arts student’s throat in a traffic light disco… Valentine’s Day, you say? That would be it, alright. Well, you’re not alone. There is a yawning chasm between us Normals and our fame-swollen heroes at the best of times, but you can hardly call drunk-texting and crying in a karaoke booth to Mariah Carey’s “Without You” the best of times, now can you? You are never closer in your orbit of the stars than you are on Valentine’s Day, because, as I’m about to show you, even celebrities can’t resist making twats of themselves for l’amour. And if you define l’amour as “that funny feeling you get in yer kecks … There’s more →

All About Steve: review

In a moment of desperation, a friend asked me to go to the cinema with her last Friday night and there was nothing on at a decent time apart from All About Steve. I hadn’t heard or seen anything of it and she hadn’t either but Sandra Bullock was in it, so how bad could it be, right? Wrong. All About Steve is the worst film I have ever seen Sandra Bullock in. I’m still shocked that she made it. I possibly should have remembered reading Nialls short synopsis at the end of this post but it had slipped from my mind.

The Proposal. Here comes the bribe…

With lots of thanks to Movies.ie, I won tickets to the Irish premier of the new romantic comedy, The Proposal. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, The Proposal follows the story of Margaret (Bullock), a high flying executive for a publishing house in New York city, and Andrew (Reynolds) her over-worked assistant. When it comes to light that Margaret’s visa has run out and that she is about to be deported back to Canada, she is inspired to tell her bosses and consequently the Department of Immigration that she is engaged to Andrew. The movie follows the duo as they visit his family in Alaska for a weekend to tell them about the engagement, the family’s welcoming her with open arms, the warm fuzzy feeling of being accepted into a family, etc. It’s a simple, enjoyable tale of boy meets girl, boy hates girl, girl hates boy, boy and girl … There’s more →
