Avengers: Age of Ultron is undoubtedly one of the biggest movies of the year, and right now there’s practically nothing that can blunt my excitement for it. Not even this new official poster for the film which shows the entire team assembled together while a sky full of Ultrons bear down on them. It’s also crap. The design is uninspired …
I’ve always respected Kevin Costner as an actor and director, ever since he starred in Tin Cup, and that other one where he won a bunch of Oscars, think it was called Dances With Wolves.

What you’re about to witness is possibly the most expensive piece of fan fiction since Fifty Shades of Grey turned Edward and Bella from Twilight into sex-fiends. This first trailer for Playing It Cool (formerly titled A Many Splintered Thing) claims to be poking fun at really generic, paint by numbers rom-coms and then turns out to be exactly that. The difference though is that this …
Just four new movies hit South African screens today, although it’s pretty easy to guess who the box office winner of the bunch will be. Maleficent: Screening in 2D, 3D and 3D IMAX is this fantasy adventure from Walt Disney Pictures, clearly trying to recapture the success of their other recent live-action fairy tale reimaginings, Oz the Great and Powerful, …

So to be brutally honest, I would definitely prefer it if Screen Gems’ …
Five new movies open in South Africa today, with the emphasis for the most part being on secret identities, crime and action. Captain America: The Winter Soldier: Screening 2D, 3D and 3D IMAX is the latest Marvel Comics movie and the second solo Captain America flick. With its predecessor chiefly set during World War II, The Winter Soldier explores how …
As a walking Army recruitment poster, complete with hokey slogans and blinkered idealism, Captain America is a character that shirks modernization. However, besides for those frantically brief few minutes at the end of Captain America: The First Avenger, we’ve never really delved into that super-fish out of water aspect in his cinematic adventures. The main reason for this character development oversight …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
