I kind of feel a bit sad for the The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. That may sound like a strange thing to say about the highly anticipated final chapter of a box-office record breaking franchise that has been a gigantic critical and commercial success for nearly 4 years now, but it just so happens to be a highly …
From Jared Hess, the director that brought us the cult comedy Napolean Dynamite and the less favorable Nacho Libre, comes a new comedy, Don Verdean. And this one is looking really funny. The story centers around Don Verdean (Sam Rockwell), an a self-proclaimed Biblical archaeologist that is hired by an ambitious small-town pastor (Danny McBride) to find sacred relics in …
HAIL TO THE KING, BABY! This weekend coming, US TV network Starz will finally release Ash vs Evil Dead, the upcoming TV series sequel to Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s much beloved trilogy of classic horror/comedy flicks. We’ve already seen how the one-handed Ash’s latest adventure kicks off, but Raimi sat down with ShockTillYouDrop to dish up a whole lot …
When it was announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be seeing the main original trilogy cast return, it was a really big deal for fans. Now we could finally witness the great Jedi master that Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker had become in the 30 years since we last saw him. Except we totally haven’t. Despite a handful of …
I am still reeling from the horror revelations that someone wants to remake Jumanji, a 1995 film that starred the legend Robin Williams. I remember my younger brothers going ape sh*t for the movie, also enjoying a themed-ride in America, and rightly so, the movie was solid gold.

The latter is the one we’re interested in today and a “family-friendly …
Go watch Burnt. I don’t know if it’s good, but it is a rare moment where a A-list movie is released in SA before it graces American screens. Rotten Tomatoes is kinda middling about it, but what do critics know anyway? Box office numbers are all we care about in this column, but so far it’s only been released in …
It’s almost Halloween, which means we’re almost done with the scary-movie-themed Midweek Movie Mouth-Offs. I have to say, it’s been challenging thinking up new topics around a genre of movie that I try my best to avoid, and not double up on topics from last year, but we’ve had a lot of interesting discussions! I thought I’d end this year’s …
