Before we start with this week’s new releases, I’d like to take a moment to thank Kervyn for the sacrifices he makes for us. While Craig was getting all high-brow and cultured with this week’s Oscar-bait movie The Danish Girl, and Nick was gleefully (if not a little bit obsessively) salivating over The Hateful Eight, Kervyn had to sit through …
Director Quentin Tarantino is back with another western after Django Unchained, that has eight of the meanest old west hombres around slapping leather and filling their hands. With hate.
After Quentin Tarantino’s rather awesome and bloody (not to mention highly controversial) Django Unchained, I was surprised the director decided to return to the same Spaghetti Western genre. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guns, the grit and coffee so bad you need a steel gut to survive it. I just thought he may have met his political commentary …
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 …

That earned him not just the enmity of various US police groups, who have now called for a boycott of his upcoming western The Hateful Eight, but also …
Anomalisa is the upcoming comedy-drama from Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich) that stars David Thewlis (Naked, The Theory of Everything) as an ordinary man making his way through an ordinary life doing ordinary things… until he finds a possible way out. The official plot synopsis is as follows: Michael Stone [David Thewliss], husband, father …
Ever since my first experience with Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs I have been a huge fan. Back then some people thought he was some sadistic, over-the-top, blood-fueled director who reveled in violence notched up to the 11 setting. Now? Well, now we know all that to be true – only we love him for it. Able to stitch together genres of the past in a …
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 …
In today’s digital world, a website is often the first impression a business makes. …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
