Midweek Movie Mouth-off: where’s the love for local actors?
American actors will play the leads in THE FORGIVEN. Why don’t we have any major South African talent in the lead roles of movies about South Africa?
Movies out Today: 16 September 2016
There's quite a mixed bag of movies out today. Between a bad reboot, a good sequel, and an epic 80's moustache (seriously, how does Bryan Cranston do it?), we also have a creepy local horror, and a reimagining of the zombie apocalypse.
We review BEN-HUR – heavy-handed but watchable enough
Though far from a turkey, the new Ben-Hur plays by safe, traditional formula throughout.
New posters released for BEN-HUR remake
I don’t think much needs to be said about the upcoming remake of Ben-Hur. It’s a remake of one of the best films ever made. The 1959 version starring Charlton Heston that is, which was itself a remake of a 1925 silent film, which was a remake of a stage play, which itself was based on a book Ben-Hur: A Tale of …

First photos of new BEN-HUR remake have been released
The 1959 film Ben-Hur is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, with the original classic being the first film to ever win 11 Oscars (Titanic and Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King being the others) and was also a monumental financial success, despite its long run time of over 3 hours. It …
Sh*t's about to get stabby in four new TV spots for LONDON HAS FALLEN!
Normally, I tend to not make articles about TV spots for movies, as they tend to be too short to really warrant a full write-up. And when it comes to length, the new TV spot for London Has Fallen is no different, clocking in at just 16 seconds. But holy freaking hell, what a crazy, R-rated NSFW 16 seconds it …
