No this isn’t our review for Taken 3 (which will be out early next week). It’s just that Liam Neeson is once again back to shooting people while wearing coats/jackets, which has rapidly become his thing. The Oscar winner has carved out a nice spot for himself with these kinds of effortless action-thrillers, and he doesn’t appear to be tiring of them any time …

It may be 2015, but we’re still stuck in 2014. Well most of us are at least, as Nick still thinks its 1988 judging by the red leather outfit he wears while singing Michael Jackson songs. 2014 had plenty of great films and TV to watch, spread out across 12 months of viewing. We decided to get together, and vote …
I don’t know when last you saw Twins, the massive 1988 hit for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, but it has not aged well. Let’s face it: the film was a product of its time.

Tuesday night saw the debut of Marvel’s latest small-screen endeavour, the Hayley Atwell led Agent Carter, which was met by massive critical praise (and you can add my name to that pile of glowing reviews as well).

Movie fans in Johannesburg have their own special place in the city center’s Arts On Main/Maboneng district. Last Updated: January 8, 2015
Lego is insanely popular these days. From the days of simple playsets where you could construct a small catapult or your own city, the brand has grown in leaps and bounds. And so has the price. But that’s a story for another day when I’m very, very drunk. Part of the success of Lego can also be attributed to the …
It takes quite a lot for a movie to scare me, and I don’t have much time for gore-porn. But when it comes to horror movies lately, there’s definitely wan name I trust. Yes, that horrible pun is my way of saying that I’m a fan James Wan’s work. Since the original Saw, Wan has been skillfully giving horror its groove back, …
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.
