If you follow TheMovies on Twitter and Facebook (and if you don’t… why not? All the cool kids are doing it), you’ll know that we have our Movie Poster of the Day, where we hunt down the interesting posters for movies old and new. This is a bit of a struggle sometimes, as honestly, the art of the movie poster …
Sometimes, I think my job sucks. Not this one, obviously, but my daily grind. I’ve got a hell of a commute, cranky customers and long, boring hours in front of a computer screen. But, after watching The Revenant, maybe my job isn’t so bad after all. I can’t imagine living in that day and age. Imagine being a fur-trapper back …
The announcement of the Academy Awards nominations is never without some surprises. Movies and actors that you thought were shoe-ins might have been snubbed, while other nominations might have come out of left field. This year, I’m kind of surprised that Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for Joy. Yes, I know she got the Golden Globe for it, but Joy hasn’t been …
Even though the shops have had their decorations up for the last two months, as they do every year, now that we’re officially in the twelfth month we can break out the fake pine trees, plastic decorations and Quality Streets, and start thinking all things Christmas! Between The Nightmare Before Christmas, Love Actually, Die Hard and Arthur Christmas, there are …
The new Star Wars is almost here (three weeks and counting!) and the tension is almost palpable. And this is one movie that Disney has on super-serious lock-down. No leaks, no spoilers, no titbits of any kind have done the rounds without being pre-approved by the House of Mouse. Not that you can blame them, it would suck if we …
Last week we had some crazy heat here in Joburg, and thank goodness that’s broken. Now, the weather’s all about thunderstorms, hail and cold rain. I’m not complaining, we seriously needed a break from the heatwave, but that kind of weather does make it difficult to go out in the evenings. Never mind socialising, I just want to curl up on …
It looks like the “all-female reboot” is Hollywood’s next big thing. There’s the new Ghostbusters that’s well under way, and an Ocean’s Eleven remake being lead by Sandra Bullock, plus rumours of a female-centric Road House and 21 Jump Street spin-off. Personally, I’m not too hot on the idea of taking old movies and remaking them with ladies. Yes, more …
It’s almost Halloween, which means we’re almost done with the scary-movie-themed Midweek Movie Mouth-Offs. I have to say, it’s been challenging thinking up new topics around a genre of movie that I try my best to avoid, and not double up on topics from last year, but we’ve had a lot of interesting discussions! I thought I’d end this year’s …
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
