HE GETS KNOCKED DOWN BUT HE GETS UP AGAIN (ROADHOUSE)

We've had new versions of 'Point Blank' and 'Red Dawn'. But now with Doug Liman remaking 'Road House,' is there no Patrick Swayze movie Hollywood wouldn't remake? The original 1989 action movie was a cheesy thriller about a professional bouncer haunted by the memory of a man he killed in self defence. Swayze's James Dalton is hired to clean up a notoriously rough club in Missouri known for outbreaks or violence and ends up brushing up against a local crimelord. © Amazon MGM Studios A ridiculous sweaty action movie, it was a minor hit that was slated by critics but subsequently built up a cu ..read more

LOHAN'S RUN (IRISH WISH)

Whether it's 'Leap Year' or 'PS I Love You' or 'Wild Mountain Thyme,' we've been down this road before. Woeful romcoms that trade in dodgy Irish stereotypes and even dodgier Irish accents are nothing new. So it's all too easy to put the boot into Netflix's latest offering, the Lindsay Lohan vehicle 'Irish Wish' which the streamer has released to coincide with this weekend's St Patrick's festivities. However Lohan is on something of a long haul back to career rehabilitation after becoming tabloid fodder for many years for her problems with substance abuse, her turbulent love life and her brush ..read more

© Universal Pictures We all know Murphy's Law: anything that can go wrong will go wrong. That's what happened to 'The Banshees of Inisherin' 12 months ago at the Oscars as 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once' dominated the awards. So can Corkman Cillian Murphy make up for the disappointment in Irish film circles last year and turn that premise on its head? That's the big question on a night when Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' is expected to crown a glorious awards season by dominating this year's Academy Awards. Only in the Best Actor category has Nolan's atomic bomb epic looked ..read more

When is a Christmas movie not a Christmas movie? When it's 'The Holdovers'. Alexander Payne's retro comedy drama has all the ingredients of a perfect Festive Season watch.

If you love any artform, one of the things you have to resign yourself to is the fact that you're going to miss out on some great works when you die. You could torture yourself thinking about that but why bother? It's much better to live in the present and be thankful for all the really great stuff you are exposed to. Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest' is one such film that makes you glad to be alive. © A24 & Film 4 Adapted from a 2014 Martin Amis novel, its subject is undoubtedly a hard sell. 'The Zone of Interest' is a Holocaust movie in German about the Auschwitz commanda ..read more

If you're still recovering from 'One Day,' do you really need another romantic drama right now? 'Alice and Jack' boasts Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson as lovers struggling to properly connect. If its lead actors' pedigree isn't enough to woo you, the Channel 4 and PBS miniseries also has Aisling Bea, Sunil Patel and Aimee Lou Wood on board. But while the casting is all well and good, is Levin's writing strong enough to avoid unfavourable comparisons with David Nicholl's Netflix epic? © Channel 4, PBS & Fremantle Riseborough plays Alice, a loner who works in the world finance ..read more

Ask people to name a reggae artist and the chances are the vast majority will say Bob Marley. No reggae performer has had the global reach of the Jamaican singer-songwriter, who passed away in 1981 from cancer at the age of 36. In fact, few artists of any genre have had his impact. A lot of that is down simply to the strength of his songs. © Paramount Pictures 'No Woman, No Cry,' 'Three Little Birds,' 'One Love (People Get Ready),' 'Buffalo Soldier,' 'Exodus,' 'Redemption Song,' 'Jammin',' 'Get Up Stand Up' and 'I Shot The Sheriff' are all classics whose popularity was sealed by the huge ..read more
