Despite me being pretty meh on the previous film, I will give some well-deserved credit to The Divergent Series: Insurgent. Where most movies in Hollywood have developed a habit of spoiling, well, everything months before its released with multiple trailers showing every frame of action to be found in it (yes, I am looking at you Amazing Spider-Man 2), the …
The CW network is on a tear right now. With Arrow maturing as one of their breakout hit shows and The Flash running into all kinds of rating blockbuster hits, it seems that everything they touch turns to gold right now.

When I first heard about the Fantastic Four reboot, my first response was “why?”. After all, we had already suffered through two movies that starred the first Marvel family. But then that first trailer hit for director Josh Trank’s film, and it looked surprisingly…different. And that got me curious. Speaking to Empire (via CBM), Trank revealed that he had a very …
Did I get drunk and accidentally stumble into a time machine which took me back to 1989 somehow? That seems to me to be the only logical explanation after yesterday’s news of Disney rebooting Duck Tales (whoo hoo!) has now been greeted by the reveal that fellow classic 1980’s cartoons Inspector Gadget and Danger Mouse are both also getting the …

Thank goodness we can get a chance to turn our brains off and indulge in some mindless entertainment again! The Theory of Everything This is the extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the …
One of the big stories of yesterday was the fact that Neill Blomkamp and star Sigourney Weaver alluded heavily to the fact that the South African born director’s planned Alien film will be a direct sequel (the “genetic sibling”, as Blomkamp put it) to Aliens, ignoring the events of Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. This of course promptly broke the …
If you’re one of the folks that – like me – are worried that the inclusion of Die Antwoord will ruin Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming Chappie, then I’m here to tell you that it did. At least when it came to making the movie. Speaking to News24, veteran actor Brandon Auret, who has appeared in all of Blomkamp’s movies thus far …
