Creed III – Review

March 15, 2023

Just like the career of Rocky Balboa, and now Adonis Creed, this series seems to get better with time.

Inhaler: Cuts and Bruises Review – A Band That Has Found their Sound

March 1, 2023

Inhaler emerged in the Irish music scene a few years ago in the now-standard format for a group of lads from Dublin – an indie-rock band with a confident singer as the frontman, producing bold songs about love and young adulthood with the odd guitar riff to match the mood.

That ’90s Show – Review

February 1, 2023

With a brand new cast and cameos from our favourite characters from the original series, the question everyone’s asking is- is the spin-off just as good as the original?

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody – Review

January 18, 2023

Musical dramas and biopics may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I didn’t think they were mine, but this movie was a touching and enjoyable cinematic experience; and while I did not grow up with Whitney Houston, I felt that this film did her justice.

Tár Review – A Triumphant Symphony

January 18, 2023

Tár is a truly incredible character piece. Revolving around the fictional revered composer as she is faced with both the greatest challenge of her professional career and the looming demons of her past, this psychological drama is an uncomfortable yet arresting dive into music, mania, and monsters.

Glass Onion Is Very Fun(ion) – Review

January 3, 2023

Knives Out is one of my favourite movies of all time. It’s a film that is so insanely well-written, so perfectly acted, so incredibly funny, and most of all, so shockingly clever in its execution. It completely shattered my expectations for what a whodunnit could deliver, even though I already adored the genre. How could someone do that twice? Well, I’ve no idea, but Rian Johnson did it anyway with Glass Onion.

The Banshees of Inisherin – Review

November 10, 2022

The film is a discussion on not only Irishness but an examination of the decay that results from spending your entire life in the same suffocating environment.

Halloween Ends Review – A Middling End to a Thrilling Trilogy

October 26, 2022

Halloween Ends as a stand-alone movie provides an engaging and entertaining story, with great characters, and with many funny and horrifying moments. However, this movie as the ending to a great horror trilogy is both a divisive and obscure choice to finish on.

iOS 16 Review – Get the Zimmer Frame

September 28, 2022

Like a charming old lady who stops to chat on a walk, iOS 16 is pleasantly familiar, but hard to get really excited about, and maybe a little stale.

The Pentaverate Review – Mike Myers’ Cult of Personalities

May 31, 2022

Despite the wide variety of acclaimed television shows that people keep telling me to watch, from Money Heist to Stranger Things, I somehow ended up binging The Pentaverate. A show about a secret society that controls the world from the shadows… made up exclusively of characters played by Mike Myers. How could I not be intrigued?
