Double Blind (2023) 100% 3/5 “It's always gratifying to find a horror movie that has the best of influences, and even more gratifying that it's an Irish crew of filmmakers that are making it all.” – entertainment.ie Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) 80% 3/5 “As a starting point, 'Kingdom' works in the same way that 'Rise' helped to put things in motion with better entries hopefully to follow.” – entertainment.ie May 8, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% 4/5 “The end result of a funny, witty script, great practical stunts and choreography, two leads with on-screen presence and chemistry, and a director who knows how to utilise all of the above to make an entertaining spectacle.” – entertainment.ie Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 4/5 “ 'Civil War' presents a terrifying and exhilarating journey into the heart of darkness in America.” – entertainment.ie Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 2/5 “There may yet be a great movie made out of the life and times of Amy Winehouse, but it's not this.” – entertainment.ie Apr 10, 2024 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% 3/5 “'The Killer' is grimly entertaining and although it may not be a laugh-a-minute comedy or a wham-bam-actioner, it still has more than ample style and substance to make it worth the time.” – entertainment.ie Nov 8, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 62% 2/5 “'The Marvels' is the same movie you've seen before, not necessarily done better or worse, but just the same” – entertainment.ie Nov 8, 2023 Full Review BlackBerry (2023) 97% 4/5 “It's all down to the performances that sets 'BlackBerry' apart from the herd of other corpo-dramas of late.” – entertainment.ie Oct 4, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% 2/5 “For a movie that was marketed on how shocking and extreme it was, the kind of tepid filmmaking that's on display in 'The Exorcist: Believer' is an affront to its originator and ultimately underlines how irrelevant it is. ” – entertainment.ie Oct 4, 2023 Full Review The Creator (2023) 68% 4/5 “'The Creator' is a stylish, intelligent sci-fi blockbuster with a message.” – entertainment.ie Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Dumb Money (2023) 84% 4/5 “Instead, it operates more as a rare indulgence in which those in power who frequently make terrible choices are actually made to face the consequences instead of receiving a bailout.” – entertainment.ie Sep 18, 2023 Full Review My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) 31% 1/5 “'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3' is the most unnecessary movie of the year. Who asked for this? Who really wanted this?” – entertainment.ie Sep 8, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% 1.5/5 “'The Nun II' suffers by taking itself far too seriously.” – entertainment.ie Sep 8, 2023 Full Review The Equalizer 3 (2023) 76% 3/5 “You know what you're getting from 'The Equalizer 3' and it's pointless expecting any more from it. It's not trying to be anything other than something that's made by talented craftspeople to do nothing other than boil the pot.” – entertainment.ie Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Strays (2023) 54% 3/5 “While its premise is dated somewhat, 'Strays' is nevertheless enjoyably stupid fun and requires absolutely nothing of its audience, only a willingness to laugh at dogs being silly and cursing frequently.” – entertainment.ie Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Haunted Mansion (2023) 38% 2/5 “'Haunted Mansion' passes like a ghost through the audience and disappears from memory shortly after.” – entertainment.ie Aug 17, 2023 Full Review You Hurt My Feelings (2023) 94% 3.5/5 “'You Hurt My Feelings' is an easygoing comedy-drama that deals with honesty and bullsh*t in a lived-in way. There's a real sense of intelligence to how the story plays out, but it's not high-brow or inaccessible - quite the opposite, in fact. ” – entertainment.ie Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) 65% “'Gran Turismo' isn't so bad that it's a car crash. Instead, it is a tiresome clog of traffic, plodding along with dull characters and bland scripting. Take a detour and avoid it.” – entertainment.ie Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% 2.5/5 “ There are so few moments in 'Blue Beetle' where anything unexpected happens, but the strength of its cast helps to sustain it past this and leaves you with an experience that is something bordering on enjoyable, if forgettable.” – entertainment.ie Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) 95% 4/5 “Made up of all kinds of tasteful finesse and topped off with a lively voice cast, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' is a delicious slice of chewy, gnarly animated action comedy.” – entertainment.ie Aug 4, 2023 Full Review The Beanie Bubble (2023) 46% 2/5 “'The Beanie Bubble' is fun but understuffed.” – entertainment.ie Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Joy Ride (2023) 90% 3/5 “If you're looking for a good, bawdy time in cinemas, 'Joy Ride' is worth the trip.” – entertainment.ie Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Meg 2: The Trench (2023) 27% 1/5 “'Meg 2: The Trench' is barely recognisable as a movie. The best thing for it is to be buried beneath 25,000 feet of ocean and never spoken of again.” – entertainment.ie Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 4/5 “'Barbie' lives up to its full po-Ken-tial.” – entertainment.ie Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% 4.5/5 “'Oppenheimer' is a towering triumph of a movie, and may very well rank as Nolan's best in years to come.” – entertainment.ie Jul 19, 2023 Full Review
