SA’s Weekend Top 10 (29 to 31 May)
Four – count them: four! – new movies this week. That is a nice change from the doldrums of the charts seven days ago. But is there anything worth seeing? Last Updated: June 3, 2015

I don;t care what anybody says: I loved the first Joe Dirt movie. It’s one of the few movies starring David Spade that was actually immensely enjoyable, as he portrayed the title character of the ever-optimistic mullet afficianado. It’s also a done-in-one movie, as Joe Dirt managed to walk away a happy man at the end. So what path could …
This might sound like an odd topic, but hear me out. You get your well loved movies right, the ones you’ll watch over and over again, the ones you basically know every line to and still get the feels at the end. Or even the ones you’ll watch repeatedly to get every hidden detail, the ones you’ll want to revisit time …
Sure he defeated the Dark Lord, saved the world and became possibly the most famous wizard ever (and he still had to settle for a ginger, Nick?!), but Harry Potter isn’t the only magical guy to lead a movie set in JK Rowling’s beloved literary world. Well, at least he won’t be soon, as Warner Bros have been developing a …
Look, let’s be honest. Pixar’s latest flick already had me at “dino”. Also, “Pixar”. Because while the acclaimed animation studio has dropped the ball a bit for me (yes, I’m looking at you, Cars movies!) they appear the be getting back to their winning ways after going a nearly unprecedented two years without a movie. The last time that happened …
I’ve had a long-standing love affair with the films of Matthew Vaughn, from his latest flick, the bonkers comic-book spy romp Kingsman: The Secret Service, all the way back to his feature film debut Layer Cake. That 2004 debut film, which is based on JJ Connoly’s novel of the same name, saw a pre-007 Daniel Craig as an unnamed British …
I’d kinda forgotten about Ant-Man, in the fallout of Avengers: Age of Ultron. That film is actually tantalisingly close now, and I’m kinda feeling the vibe for it. After all, with Age of Ultron upping the stakes, seeing a smaller hero on the screen (Pun intended), might make for a nice breather and help avoid super hero fatigue. Marketing is about …
What a difference a successful event series makes. Last year’s 24: Live Another Day event series not only came as a surprise when first announced, but also did surprisingly well by raking in the ratings; so well that Fox are looking to produce another 24-based event series and, should that prove successful, a new spin-off series. Speaking to TVLine, 24 …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
