If you’re in Durban, you still have 3 more days of movies to catch at the Durban International Film Festival. For the rest of South Africa there are 3 biggies to check out at local cinemas from today, as well as the Nigerian historical musical Inale, screening in limited release. Still it’s obvious what most people will be watching this weekend. …

The next 3 weeks until the release of The Dark Knight Rises, are going to be hell.

We’re just a couple weeks away from director Chris Nolan’s final installment in his Batman trilogy. Just calling it one of the most anticipated films of the year, is a gross understatement.

But this time he’s had to get all gimpy and gravelly …
