Christopher Nolan is considered by some (read: me) to be the finest director of his generation. A traditionalist and perfectionist whose films have had us jumping through timelines, tumbling head over heels in dreamscapes and even made us believe in the operatic reality of a man in a bat suit fighting a sociopathic clown. But he is famously also a very …
It’s a fantastic weekend for new releases at the movies, with 6 new flicks catering for all audiences. In fact, I’d say that viewers have 2 Must-Sees out of today’s newcomers: The Hunger Games and Pirates! Band of Misfits… The Hunger Games: Literary sensation The Hunger Games makes the leap to the big screen with similar success. In this teen-centric …

Starting from tomorrow it’s the 4-day Easter Long Weekend in South Africa. That means the week’s new releases are out in cinemas from today.

Three new movies open in South African cinemas today, and they’re all of the pretty serious kind. Wrath of the Titans: Screening in CONVERTED 3D is the sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans remake – which I had such high hopes for before it was evidently mangled during and after production. Anyway, here we are back in Ancient Greece …

Zac Efronvoices an idealistic tween who lives in a 100% artificial, …
The last time I reported on a trailer for Piranha 3DD, the resultant argument wasn’t pretty. I’m pretty sure I’m never going to get the bloodstains out of my pretentious persian rug. Also, somebody may have taken a poop in my sock drawer. That’s just mean. So you can probably understand my reticence in posting this new red band version …
OK go ahead, waggle your fingers in my direction, make disapproving “tut tut” noises and call me a giant hypocrite. It’s OK, not only do I deserve it, but I can take it. Because as much as I raged on George Lucas and his even further milking of the Star Wars franchise by re-releasing Episode 1 in 3D earlier this …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
