Many Stephen King fans are delighted that an adaptation to his famous Dark Tower series is being adapted to films. SA fans are probably even happier that it is being done right here in our very own Cape Town. No doubt the film will come under scrutiny though as fans will base their opinion of the film based on how true …
Look, the previous trailer for Star Trek Beyond was just not a good one. Using a horribly tonally incorrect music score and editing, it made the movie feel like it had completely lost what little Trek-iness this rebooted universe still had left. Coming from the directing hands of Justin Lin, it looked like the franchise was jumping the shark Fast & Furious-ly. Luckily, …

When I first heard of a live-action Jungle Book movie, I was a little skeptical if it would actually work. It’s the kind of story that is tailor made for an animated movie and I wasn’t so sure if a live action film would be able to get the feel of the film right – let alone the incredible CGI …
It’s been rumoured for months but finally it’s confirmed: Idris Elba will strap on the six shooters of the last Gunslinger of Gilead, Roland Deschain, and pursue Matthew McConaughey’s Randall Flag (or one of a multitude of names), The Man in Black, on the road to The Dark Tower.
