undefined review of The Huntsman - Winter's War - Cedric Nicolas-Troyan image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Huntsman: Winter's War may not be the fairest of them all, but it's a pretty good form of escapism for two hours. Chris Hemsworth isn't stretching his acting chops here, but he's entertaining. Happy to recommend this movie with a 7 out of 10

undefined review of The First Purge - Gerard McMurray image 1 out of 1

J. B.

This prequel takes the next logical step forward- while moving backwards in time- by examining all the ways race, class, and economy played a role in creating the Purge. It's a enjoyable movie and Can recommend it with a 7 out of 10

The First Purge - Gerard McMurray

undefined review of American Made - Doug Liman image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It's the inherent ridiculousness of American Made that makes the film so compelling, and Liman uses Tom Cruise's smarmy sense of charm to maximum effect has a airline pilot you sees a better career in transferring drugs into America. Really enjoyed this movie happy to recommend it with a 8 out of 10

American Made - Doug Liman

undefined review of The Lost World - Jurassic Park 2 - Steven Spielberg image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Lost World, works for those interested in suspenseful bone-crunching and cool computer generated dinosaur carnivores. As with all Steven Spielberg movies this is pure entertainment for two very quick hours. Shame Universal Studios didn't put the new art work on the disc itself. Happy to recommend this with a 7 out of 10

undefined review of Tenet - Christopher Nolan [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

By the end of Tenet's two-and-a-half-hours, with all its bi-directional action, revelations and world-ending ramifications, it's a bit numbing, And you're pretty sure you can't wait to watch it again. The visuals of the movie are a joy to be hold. Glad I purchased the Blu Ray and happy to recommend it with a 8 out of 10

Tenet - Christopher Nolan [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of The Great Wall - Yimou Zhang [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

The Great Wall is just strange and bold, and I happen to love that combination. So if you're feeling a bit adventurous and in need of something different, it doesn't get much different than this one. Matt Damon is a actor I always enjoy in movies happy to recommend it with a 7 out of 10

The Great Wall - Yimou Zhang [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Venom - Ruben Fleischer [BLU RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Venom offers a nice reminder that there's still a lot of entertainment to be had in a film that just wants to be crazy fun -- and then delivers on that promise. Venom got a lot of poor reviews upon it's cinematic release, but if you looking for a good more adult marvel movie this is very enjoyable. The slip cover and especially the disc looks great. Happy to recommend with a 8 out of 10

A. K.

I bought this brilliant album for a great price but it was quite cracked on the inside meaning that the CD would be moving around inside the box. Other than that it's awesome!

undefined review of Pet Sematary - Mary Lambert image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Haunting, sorrowful and reverberatingly eerie. Above all, Pet Sematary is a remarkably mature and thought-provoking look at the mysterious nature of death and the complexity of the grieving process. This is one of Stephen King's better adaptations, can recommend with a 8 out of 10

Pet Sematary - Mary Lambert

undefined review of The Legend of Tarzan - David Yates image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Legend of Tarzan finds its groove fairly late in the running of the movie but when Tarzan uses his friendship with the wild creatures to orchestrate something pretty spectacular. Enjoyable movie and happy to recommend with 7 out of 10

The Legend of Tarzan - David Yates

undefined review of Fast & Furious 8 - F. Gary Gray [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Fast and Furious 8 doesn't disappoint in its over-dramatized races, unimaginable stunts and adrenaline filled scenes. But as the stunts get bigger the plot gets smaller. This is a real popcorn movie, and really enjoyed it, happy to recommend it with a 7 out of 10

Fast & Furious 8 - F. Gary Gray [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of In the Heart of the Sea - Ron Howard [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It's not a monster-versus-man situation here, but a depiction of how a good chunk of human history was formed by men doing their darnedest to harvest energy from nature, to serve the needs of civilization and make a living for themselves. Enjoyable movie, happy to recommend with a 7 out of 10

In the Heart of the Sea - Ron Howard [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Lone Survivor - Peter Berg [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

It's what an action movie should be at its best; the shots fired are less interesting than the personal struggles of the men in battle. It's been on RTÉ a couple of times but it's alway worthy of epeat viewing, totally enjoyable movie can recommend with a 8 out of 10

Lone Survivor - Peter Berg [BLU-RAY]

undefined review of Jason Bourne - Paul Greengrass [BLU-RAY] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Shot, beaten, dropped from a tall building or whatever, Jason Bourne is the Energizer Bunny of international spies. A lot better then the previous outing, Bourne Legacy. The two hours duration passes quickly happy to recommend with a 7 out of 10

Jason Bourne - Paul Greengrass [BLU-RAY]

J. M.

I was honestly surprised that it was delivered days before the official release date which made it fun for me as I have been watching the previous movies before it so it being delivered made it surprisingly good

Antifragile (Vol. 1): - Le Sserafim [CD]

G. H.

Absolutely love this album, had been trying to get it for ages. Arrived quickly and perfect condition, a little pricey but so worth it - thank you Golden Discs! The album itself is one of her best (and I'm a fan of over 15 years) Every song is a gem. SOUTH ANNE STREET and SCARLET ANGELS are standout tracks from the get go. Am now completely in love with FRAGILE WISHES. Lovely packaging too.

Harry Styles’ best album yet. On vinyl it’s just something else, the bass is gorgeous when playing from the record. The translucent yellow vinyl is lovely. The lyric booklet and postcard included were also great

H. C.

Love the album. Brilliant music as always from Palace. Only thing is (and it's minor) the colour doesn't match what's advertised. Was expecting a more turquoise vinyl to match the album cover, instead I got an opaque dark blue. Doesn't take away from the album of course.

J. B.

I've been collecting music for a very long time now so I sometimes find your selection a bit limited. Bought my first records in Golden Disks on North Earl Street in the 1970s.

I try to buy from Irish shops and particularly Golden Discs as often as its possible so I ordered this as a special 40th birthday present recently. It's a lovely turntable, plays really well and is a really nice item and I'd definitely recommend it. However it came with a non Irish plug and no cables so we couldn't use it for a while after we got it as we had to order an adapter and cables. The fact of the non Irish plug was not made clear when I was buying it and Golden Dics don't sell the ada...

I pre-order this item with another vinyl and I received it on the pre-order date. I didn't expect to receive it so soon which turned out great as I got it in time for my husband's birthday! Great service!

Your store has an amazing collection of LP's!!! I love shopping here. My only request is.....A tiny bit better on the packaging for international would be great. Our orders have to get from Ireland to the USA, sometimes it's a bumpy trip!!!

It's very easy to order from Golden Discs and my CD arrived very quickly - 11 Past the Hour by Imelda May (brilliant). My package was mangled during posting unfortunately however it was so easy to return and I had my new one a few days later. Brilliant customer service!! 👏 There is nothing like having the actual CD with cover and lyrics etc. Fiona

undefined review of Who Built the Moon?: - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds [VINYL] image 1 out of 1

S. K.

Album is brilliant but I was extremely disappointed to see that Track 12. Dead in the Water is advertised on the website when I bought it but it is not on the vinyl itself. The album was bought mainly because of this song so I was saddened to see it was not included when advertised upon purchase.

Who Built the Moon?: - Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds [VINYL]

P. O.

Arguably the better of the two Captain America movies. Loved the film from beginning to end. The presence of top notch actors such as Robert Redford (as a baddie) enhanced the movie even more.

undefined review of Iron Man 3 - Shane Black [DVD] image 1 out of 1

J. B.

Let's face it, it's a film based on comics, so you get what you expect. Lots of action, totally unrealistic and nonsensical storyline and a bit of humour. Overall, excellent if that is what you are looking for. Happy to recommend with a 8 out 10
