I find myself up to my eyeballs in work today (and if you’ve ever seen my towering frame in real life, you will know that that’s pretty damn high), so much so that I barely have time to write about this first trailer for Hail, Caesar!, the new movie from the four-time Oscar-winning filmmakers Coen Bros., they of No Country …

Please note: This review was submitted by guest writer/local filmmaker Willem Grobler I went into Sicario with lofty expectations. After Denis Villeneuve’s triumphant Prisoners (2013), how could I expect any less? That film made me deal with many deep, brooding and dark emotions for a while after I’d left the cinema, and Sicario is no different. In fact, if anything, …

I’m an adventurous, outdoorsy guy, often in possession of more grit than grey matter, which is why during the sweeping opening 15 minutes or so of Everest, director Baltasar Kormakur’s retelling of the real life events surrounding a calamitous 1996 expedition to summit the titular mountain, I thought to myself that one day if I should have the financial independence, …

The official plot synopsis is as follows: In …

Alive, Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit all hold spots in my DVD shelf, all part of a genre that is about as dangerous to touch as an ascent up the K2 mountains of the Himalayas. That all seems to be changing with Everest however, as that flick won’t only boast one …

When it comes to casting actors, Marvel have a tried and tested gameplan: either get them when they’re still in the fledgling stages of when their career or they’ve been around for a while, but they just haven’t had that breakout role yet. With an Oscar nomination, a bunch of other awards and having a very well known name, Josh …

I love movies that are whack, movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so it is with great glee that I present to you a trailer for the upcoming Inherent Vice, a mix of cops, kidnapping plots of billionaire boyfriends, drugs, and a very different looking Joaquin Phoenix. The film’s directer  Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights) also shot this trailer …
