At The Movies: Legend THE Tralee Omniplex saw the first national screening/premiere of Tom Hardy’s latest film ‘Legend’ on Tuesday, in which he portrays both of the  infamous East London Kray Twins. TraleeToday.ie was lucky enough to be invited along to this showing of the gangster biopic about the lives of […]

  At The Movies ‘Inside Out’ Review by Fergus Dennehy PIXAR’S new film ‘Inside Out’ is an absolute masterclass of a film and is without a doubt, one of the most clever and funniest films that you will see this year. Coming from the minds that brought us ‘Up’, ‘Monsters […]

At The Movies: Ant-Man Reviewed By Fergus Dennehy I freely admits to having had a few reservations this week as I headed into see ‘Ant-Man’, the latest addition to the hugely expansive and intricate Marvel Universe. I’m glad to report however, that I was left feeling very impressed by the film’s end […]

  ‘John Wick’ By John Lyons ‘JOHN Wick’ is a sequel to an action film that never existed, and that’s what makes it interesting. While most action franchises would characteristically start with an origin story, ‘John Wick’ instead opts for the opposite – a straight-out retirement story. Keanu Reeves stars […]

  ‘The Water Diviner’ by John Lyons  ‘THE Water Diviner’ marks the directorial debut of Russell Crowe, an actor who, similar to the likes of Clint Eastwood, fancies himself working both in front of the camera and behind it at the same time. Crowe stars as Joshua Connor, an Australian […]

‘Selma’ by John Lyons The Oscars have officially come and gone. Though most pundits were hedging their bets on either ‘Boyhood’ or ‘Birdman’, I didn’t want to make up my mind until I had seen all of the films nominated. There was only one film I had left to see, […]

‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ By John Lyons I wouldn’t be a true cinema lover if I didn’t do a meticulous amount of research in my spare time. And I certainly wouldn’t be a true film critic if I didn’t keep my ear to the ground at all times. But over […]

‘The Interview’ By John Lyons Seth Rogen’s newest comedy venture made worldwide headlines last December when North Korea officially condemned the film, declaring it to be an “act of war”. In the weeks to follow, an unknown source hacked Sony Pictures. There were implications of a terrorist attack, the film was […]

ADMITTEDLY, I wasn’t too sure what to expect going into this film. I knew that it had been well-received in America, but I was expecting Disney’s next film to be the big follow-up to ‘Frozen’ and ‘Tangled’, not an adaptation of an obscure Marvel comic book series about some chunky-looking […]

‘Birdman’ By John Lyons Films aren’t what they used to be, or at least that’s what many movie-buffs will often tell you in a bout of cynicism. However, there is some truth to be found in that sentiment. More films are being made today than ever before, and sadly, by […]

‘Foxcatcher’ By John Lyons ‘Foxcatcher’ is a difficult film to describe. It’s cold, it’s nuanced, and it’s haunting. But perhaps it’s best summed-up in the words of it’s director, Bennett Miller: “At first it’s not funny, then it’s really not funny, and then it’s just not funny at all…” Though Miller’s […]

  ‘The Theory of Everything’ By John Lyons IF there’s one person who I can guarantee will be at the Oscars this year, it’s Eddie Redmayne. This week Redmayne stars as professor Stephen Hawking in ‘The Theory of Everything’, a film based on Jane Hawking’s memoir: “Travelling to Infinity: My […]

‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ by John Lyons AS I write this I’m currently sitting in Killarney’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ themed pub, ‘The Shire’,  after returning from a trek to Dublin to see the final ‘Hobbit’ film projected in 3D at 48 frames per second. There’s […]

‘St. Vincent’ by John Lyons IT’S been quite some time since there’s been a quintessential stand-out performance from Bill Murray. As far as I can remember, the last role of his that got everyone talking was in Sofia Coppola’s ‘Lost in Translation’… and that was released over a decade ago! […]

‘Horrible Bosses 2’ by John Lyons IT’S been over three years since the release of the first ‘Horrible Bosses’ film, a surprise hit-comedy about three best friends who hatch a seemingly foolproof plan to murder each of their despicable bosses. The first film worked so well because of its three […]

‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ By John Lyons BACK in 2012, I was reluctantly dragged to see the first Hunger Games film, based on the popular series of books by Suzanne Collins (at the time, I had REALLY wanted to see the new animated pirates film by Aardman). […]

‘Mr. Turner’ By John Lyons SINCE mid-October, every time I’ve made a trip to the cinema, a poster for ‘Mr. Turner’ has greeted me in the hallway. And every time I saw it, I got really excited. Not because of the film’s subject matter, but because it’s the new film […]

‘Interstellar’ By John Lyons It’s 2am in the early hours of Sunday morning. The biggest film of the year – ‘Interstellar’ – has been on release for two days, and so far I’ve seen it twice. Even though my second viewing of the film ended over two hours ago, the […]

‘The Judge’ Robert Downey Jr. is perhaps the most charismatic superstar that Hollywood has to offer at the moment. His magnetic on-screen presence is seemingly unmatched by no one else, and he has a knack for delivering lengthy monologues in a fast-paced fashion, jumping back and forth between serious and […]

Guardians of the Galaxy by John Lyons It’s here. It’s finally here. The most anticipated film of the summer has just arrived in cinemas. Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and It’s been a rocky road to say the least. Over the past decade Marvel Studios have been slowly building their […]
