Video-on-demand and streaming services for TV and movies is the way of the future. The old way of being told what you can watch and when you can watch it is going the way of the dinosaur, with streaming services giving flexibility, accessibility, and badly needed affordability. To fill this gap in South African TV we now have VIDI, South …

There’s a section in this first trailer for upcoming action flick John Wick, in which Keanu Reeves’ titular ex-hitman spouts a line of dialogue about getting a puppy from his late wife, but he’s delivery is so wooden that I expected there to be some kind of pop-up jingle declaring that “this portion of the trailer was brought to you by Timber City”. …

Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! Last Updated: September 16, 2014

And most of that (pun intended) batshit crazy vampire action was the result of Guillermo Del Toro, the acclaimed Mexican …

Until August, The Avengers had been my favourite film out of the Marvel Movie gate. That 2012 flick was just the culmination of years of work, paying off handsomely. And then came the Guardians Of The Galaxy last month, a film which in many ways trumped the Avengers for me. I’m not counting Joss Whedon and his crew out yet …

Move over, Arrow. And The Flash. And Constantine. And Gotham. And maybe even Supergirl or whatever it will end up being called (probably something that tries too hard to be hip and clever like “Super.
