As a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra series has been an odd one for me to watch. On one hand, it’s fantastic to see the lore expanded in such a richly detailed world with a more grown up animation style. On the other hand, I’ve felt let down by the rushed pacing and the …
Just three new films open in South African cinemas for the long weekend. Between them they offer a combination of sci-fi action, bittersweet star-crossed romance and tonally lightweight, but star-heavy, fare for the older set. Edge of Tomorrow: Blockbuster fanatics will find their needs fulfilled by this Japanese novel adaptation, screening in 2D, 3D and 3D IMAX. Tom Cruise is …
I’ve yet to see the first season of Hemlock Grove, the Eli “Hostel” Roth produced horror series on Netflix, despite the fact that it stars an X-Man in Famke Janssen and almost X-Man in Dougray Scott. And based on the buzz I heard, not only is it a “balls to the wall” kind of show, but there’s a fairly good chance I …

Come this November though, Ayer will be upgrading a bit, going from tanking leading men to actual tanks, and from a war on crime to the biggest war …
I’m glad that we live in a world where the Transformers movies are being made. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re shallow and lame, with plots that are muddling at best and non-existent at worst, and actors that are just there to cash in a pay-check. But, as long as the genre of robots-punch-a-thing-and-there-are-explosions continues to dominate at the …
Eva Green has always been a fantastic actress, but she has been on a outright tear as of late, cutting swathes of cool and sexy destruction through recent fare like 300: Rise of an Empire and Penny Dreadful. And now she has her vampish eyes set on the monochromatic world of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. …
