    If it the same set up as last year, then the middle movie each day will be a surprise movie. Personally I think Ross Noble is a fantastic stand up, and I really hope he can translate his skills to acting in stitches. As for the film, total film in their fright fest awards gave the film the best death award and voted it one of the goriest.

    More info:
    Looper & Premium Rush will be shown on Sunday
    From facebook.
    http://www.facebook.com/moviesireland
    So a Joseph Gordon-Levitt day.


    The mystery guest will be announced Monday and it isn't Conor McMahon
    We'll be announcing another Movie Fest guest on Monday.........

    is it the director of stitches by any chance?

    nope

    And we already know that "ParaNorman" will be shown on Saturday. So I assume that "Stitches" will be shown on Saturday and then a mystery screening each day.
    Really Looking forward to seeing ParaNorman and Looper.

    Trailers announced include: Iron Man 3, Die Hard 5, Seven Psychopaths, Twilight – Breaking Dawn Part 2, Byzantium and The Life of Pi.


    Anyone have any good guesses for the mystery films, my guess is the new Resident Evil movie and the Sweeney.

    Seems to be really loaded towards Sunday being the better day unless they have a huge film in the works as Saturday's mystery film.

    Less than a week to go. Looking forward to it now. Really hope that "The Sweeney" is not one of the surprise movies. Don't like Nick Love or his films. Would prob go home for a while if that came on.

    That would be overwhelmingly disappointing.

    Why would you think that? The trailer doesn't look half bad?

    It looks like a straight to dvd movie that somehow is getting a wide release.
    I just don't think it would suit the crowd.I know i will be heading out if it comes on.

    Well each to their own, personally if it does come on I would give it at least an hour before I would walk out, sometimes films that are not hyped might surprise you. You never know what hidden gems could be out there until you give them a chance.

    If you look at the trailer for Lock,stock & 2 smoking barrels that also looks like a film that should be direct to DVD but look how that film turned out.

    But as I said each to their own :)

    Really? You didn't like him in Harry Brown? I thought he was very good (chaacter was a hateful little sh*t though). I can't stand his music either.

    I didn't see the movie he directed recently but apparently it was solid enough, without being spectacular.

    The Sweeney could be great but more likely to be middle of the road than anything else IMHO

    I wanted to like Harry Brown but he just dragged it down.I never even knew he directed a film,i assume its terrible.

    Not every film last year was great but they were entertaining(except maybe The Change Up) so maybe The Sweeney can be the weak one this year.

    Free t-shirt, Love it. Wish I could go Saturday too. Interesting films, especially Stitches. Saturday looks better for guests. Ross Noble is a comic genius

    Just bought 2 tickets for Saturday. Pity Sunday was sold out but very much looking forward to the day.

    Stitches seems rather interesting but I'm very curious as to what the mystery film will be for that day. At a guess I'll say Hotel Transylvania.... or Frankenweenie

    Hi there,
    Just a short note to let you know that we have freed up seats that were being held for press & guests. These can be bought direct from Cineworld's box office on Parnell Steet, they haven't been able to put the extra seats online (not yet anyway).

    Hopefully these go up online, can't make it down to the cinema and can't purchase over the phone :(

    I just went in and got some. It's likely there's less than 20 left so if you can I'd advise hauling ass in. The girl behind the counter explained that when they have so few available for any film they stop being sold online so it may not be an option

    Don't they normally give out hints about the mystery films?

    Im hoping for something like Cloud Atlas.

    Last year there were no hints, but everybody guessed that Final Destination 5 was going to be one of the surprise movies (dont know how - when they announced it the whole audience seemed to give off a vibe of fake shock). Cloud Atlas would be amazing, but I would be truly surprised if they have it, as the first public showing is going to at the Toronto film festival. But then again, they did get looper....
