Why did they decide to release Independence Day: Resurgence on the 24th of June instead of the 4th of July? Pretty golden opportunity missed there. But, it’s not like it was going to help the movie fare any better, so I guess we should just get it out of the way then.
Whenever Vince Vaughn takes a walk outside of his wise cracking comfort zone, I begin to get concerned. The guy certainly has talent and there have been one or two performances that show that he can get the job done whether its dramatic or comedic (I’m thinking of Vaughn’s FBI Agent Peter Novak in The Cell or his performance as …
I’ve been a gigantic fan of Brit Marling ever since the writer/actor’s award-winning parallel-Earth love story Another Earth and her mindbending time-travel (maybe) follow-up Sound of My Voice. For The Keeping Room she’s going back to the past again, except this time she’s not a quasi-time traveller starting a cult, as director Daniel Barber rather throws her into the middle of …
A friend of mine is currently making his way through this an online list of famous anime, and he’s complaining about all the exercise his tear ducts are getting.

X-Men: The Last Stand didn’t happen. Sure there’s a lot more that you can take away from Bryan Singer’s incredible X-Men: Days of Future Past, but that movie’s timeline-changing shenanigans resulting in the events of the much maligned Bret Ratner directed third X-Men flick now having been eradicated is a big one. This is not only because The Last Stand sucked hairy …
Four new films hit South African cinemas today, and they’re all of the rather low-key (i.e. non-explosive) sort. You’ll have to get your action blockbuster kicks elsewhere this weekend I’m afraid. Blended: Probably the least reviled Adam Sandler comedies of recent years have seen him sharing the screen with Drew Barrymore. They reunite for the third time in Blended, where …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
