Lots of beautiful, sun-kissed stars… and one pasty-faced guy from Ireland. *Iconic Baywatch drums play in the distance* “I’lllll beeee reaaaadddyy, I’ll be readddy…” Go on, admit it. You’re singing the iconic Baywatch theme tune right now, aren’t you? We’ll be honest, so are we. In fact, ever since we saw the very first trailer […]

“From one flamethrower to another…” You have to hand it to Katherine Waterston. It’s no easy task to step into the ass-kicking, alien-killing string vest of one Sigourney Weaver, who, as Ellen Ripley, redefined what it meant to be weapon-wielding woman on the big screen… When director Ridley Scott announced that he was to make […]

Sister sister, talk about a two-way twister… Sibling rivalry. We all know it’s an everyday occurrence, but you ain’t seen nothing like these two… Apart from having major Thanos-related daddy issues, Marvel’s Gamora and Nebula take family feuds to a whole other level. After the stellar success of 2014’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, the killer […]

The Guardians are back… In 2014, a little-known band of Marvel misfits took the galaxy by storm as a green-skinned lady, a music-obsessed man, a talking raccoon, a walking tree and a muscle-laden, metaphor-lacking alien showed every other hero how it’s done. Those magnificent misfits were the Guardians Of The Galaxy… The leader of that […]

Be our guest… and make a sequel to The Guest. When we heard the news that Disney were remaking Beauty And The Beast, the beloved animated classic from 1991, we didn’t know what to do with ourselves.

It’s on like donkey Kong… Creature features really don’t come much bigger than Kong: Skull Island and, to mark its release in Irish cinemas, we caught up the cracking cast and beautifully bearded director of the film, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, to chat about all things movie and monkey-related. The stellar collection of actors includes Brie Larson, […]

Did we just become best friends citizens of the same great land!?

“I see all the pretty girls.” Best Boy Grip is back. With a fierce bang of the toe-tappin’, head-groovin’ energy of the 1980s off it, we’re not sure what we love more about ‘Reptile’, the latest single from Derry’s Best Boy Grip; the deliciously dirty bass or the delightfully dirty VHS video. Not that kind of […]
