Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It’s a silly little title that most people can’t even say without smirking. The first teaser trailer for this adaptation of another Seth Grahame-Smith’s mashup historical parody novels, certainly seemed to realize this silliness with a very tongue-in-cheek tone that looked like a whole heap of fun. Certainly a lot more fun than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire …
One thing I have enjoyed about Marvel’s movies is the fact that they don’t take themselves too seriously. They are fun. There is laughter, and silliness. Sure, Captain America: Winter Soldier lent more towards a serious action/thriller and Daredevil is definitely not light but none of those come close to the content and subject matter of The Man in the High Castle. The pilot episode …
The last time time Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg teamed up it was for the hilarious The Other Guys. But while that movie saw them as partners working together, the latest collaboration, Daddy’s Home, has them going to proverbial war with each other as a stepdad and dad trying to win the affection of their children. Cue jokes about who has …
This week, we get an early start on Halloween with Not Another Paranormal Activity Movie, Bradley Cooper’s career takes a bit of a scary nosedive, old Disney classics come back to haunt us, and two local movies have nothing to do with Halloween but they still look pretty good. Plus we have a highly-praised coming-of-age drama and a properly awful …
Since his inception in 1939, Batman has greatly transcended being just a comic book character and has become a veritable cultural icon. That “culture” of course includes several movie appearances, so it was very fitting that earlier in this week Batman co-creator Bob Kane was posthumously honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Director Zack Snyder, who …
Today marks exactly 5 weeks until we get to see Spectre on our screens in South Africa. Unfortunately, this makes us the 2nd last country in the world to actually witness James Bond’s latest adventure (Japan is in dead last, so take this as some sort of pyrrhic victory/revenge for what happened in the Rugby World Cup). But over in …
Bruce Willis has spent the last few years firmly stuck in “Pay the Bills” mode, saying yes to just about every script put in front of him, no matter how terrible it sounds or how pedestrian he acts. This is why we have such laughable entries in his filmography such as Vice and The Prince. But there’s nothing to laugh …
The highly successful The Hunger Games story will be coming to an end this November. The franchise has certainly been extremely popular among movie goers and has earned its creators plenty of cash along the way. I have enjoyed the journey so far and am really looking forward to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and with the imminent …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
