And your 2016 Oscar nominations are…

When it comes to the Hollywood awards season, we’ve already had the ridiculous schadenfreude of the Razzies and the sometimes confusing accolades of the Golden Globes (The Martian is the Best Comedy? Huh?!). But now it’s time to get serious – no, more serious than that! – as the Oscars are upon us! While the world is still reeling in …

Last week I remarked to a friend that despite it only being one week into 2016, I already had a frontrunner for my Movie of The Year in the masterfully brutal The Revenant. My exact words were “It would take one hell of a masterpiece of a movie to beat it”. Just a few days later, my prophetic words barely …

Director Adam McKay wants ANCHORMAN III vs the Internet?

I’ve always had a bit of a mixed love affair with Ron Burgundy and his idiot entourage, much like I have with chicken livers and Trevor. They can be absolutely hysterical but then absolutely cringe worthy at the same time. The stories are really silly but are also so accessible you can’t help but giggle. Of course with a movie …

This star-studded trailer for THE BIG SHORT is kinda brilliant!

To paraphrase a certain arrow-shooting vigilante: I have failed this movie blog. It’s sort of my job to keep you guys informed of all the major movies and yet yesterday was the very first time I had ever even heard of The Big Short.  You would definitely not think that to be the case for a true life drama surrounding …

We Review ANT-MAN – Small hero, big success!

Superhero comic books are a spandexed smorgasbord of different tones, themes and art directions, so it only makes sense that superhero comic book movies should follow suit. Except that they really haven’t though. Despite telling stories ranging from snarky techno-thrillers to pulpy WWII adventures to kooky space operas, Marvel Studios has developed a bit of a reputation for producing homogenous …

Looks like Adam McKay may be directing a Marvel movie

There’s no shortage of directors in Hollywood, and even when Marvel loses a creative lead in any one of their projects, they’ve always got a replacement that’s a mere phone call away. That’s what happened with Ant Man after Edgar Wright departed due to creative differences, before Peyton Reed was handed the directing gig. At one point, it looked like …

Rumour: ANT-MAN reshoots to bring back plot points from Edgar Wright's draft

By Kervyn Cloete

Well, this could be an odd turn of events. We’ve written a lot about Edgar Wright’s much publicized 11th-hour departure from Ant-Man, a movie he started developing for Marvel before there even was a Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wright is one of the most talented filmmakers out there, so seeing what he could do with such an odd-ball character with all …
