We don’t know about you, but we had a GREAT year at the movies.
Best Irish Movie: Good Vibrations Plus Best Scene, to boot:
Most Outrageously Brilliant Thing We Saw All Year: The gonzo ‘Safe Haven‘ segment of horror anthology V/H/S 2, as directed by the guy (Gareth Evans) who did The Raid (2011). Watch it in full here – it’s seriously NSFW, borderline insane, and may mess you up:
Best Movie Everybody Hated But We (sort of) Liked: Only God Forgives. (NB: Drive is over-rated)
Future Cult Classic: The Lone Ranger. Fact.
The ‘What Happened’ Award: Danny Boyle’s Trance, AKA Pants.
Broadsheet Award For Outstanding Services To Cinema: The Rock. Brings it every time.
Best Irish Performance: Brendan Gleeson trying to muster enthusiasm for his role in Smurfs 2 (2013).
Best Irish Director: Paul Duane, who we’ve been telling you about for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. Don’t believe us? Ask Variety.
And the best thing you saw?
