This week at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, the original cast of The Breakfast Club (without Emilio Estevez) reunited for a special 25th anniversary screening of John Hughes’s cult classic. Actually, they’re all holding together fairly well. Apart from Judd Nelson. Who looks a bit like Sam Smyth now.

And here.

Video here.

[*unless, that is, you’re too young to have seen the movie first time round. In which case, move on. There’s more dog videos coming up. Here, you dropped your Milky Bar.]

Ah, the classic Hollywood odd couple on a road trip trope.  Robert Downey Jr. as the straight guy, the beardy guy from The Hangover as the annoying foil.  To mix it up they’ve even thrown in a dog.  How delightful.

Release Date (Ireland): November 12

This does not bode well.

New film censor Ger Connolly has banned the DVD re-release of 1978’s video nasty, ‘I Spit On Your Grave’.

For its depiction of “acts of gross violence and cruelty towards humans”.

He used to be an accountant.

Last time I saw a film involving gondolas in Venice, it was Moonraker.  While Depp does wear a white evening jacket, I don’t think he’s going to be harassed by a steel-toothed henchman. Paul Bettany without a facial tattoo will have to do.

Release Date (Ireland): January 2011

Amalgamated or not, Pixar has been soundly thrashing Disney in the realm of animation for the last decade or so. Maybe this will win back a few fans for the veteran half of the partnership.

A word of caution though: this trailer hides a dark secret – the movie is, in fact, a musical.

Release Date (Ireland): 28th of January

If you keep going to these films, they’ll keep making them. Eventually they may even surprise us all and come up with something not so ineffably cliché ridden. 

And Mr De Niro, please stop focking with your legacy.

Release Date (Ireland): December 22.

Do you think maybe Clint Eastwood is feeling death’s cold breath on his neck and hoping there is something after death?
