Only two and a half more weeks until Star Wars! In the meantime, we have the highly anticipated but not so highly rated Bond movie Spectre, plus some other stuff that’s kinda lame. Spectre A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service …
After last week’s drought we are finally getting on to the end of year blockbusters. This week, we have Katniss Everdeen kicking ass and taking names, Owen Wilson in a breathless action-fest of a thriller and Arnold Schwarzenegger… in a zombie movie! Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part Two At the end of the saga, Katniss Everdeen realises that the stakes …
This is a bit of a dull week in cinemas. There are a lot of movies out today, some very good, some… not so much, but no highly-anticipated blockbusters yet. Grandma Lily Tomlin stars as Elle who has just gotten through breaking up with her girlfriend when Elle’s granddaughter Sage unexpectedly shows up needing $600 bucks before sundown. Temporarily broke, …
There’s a whole lot of nothing special out this week. Besides for the cold-war drama Bridge of Spies, everything else scores less than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ugh, Star Wars has never seemed so far away. Bridge of Spies Tom Hanks stars as the American attorney tasked with negotiating the release of a U-2 spy plane pilot who was shot …
It’s (almost) all about Halloween this weekend! We have a surprisingly good meta-adaptation of the famously spooky R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps, a disturbing but beautiful horror love story from Guillermo del Toro, a sadly not-so-scary home invasion thriller, a movie about the dark allure of violent gangsters, and one Russian produced and Afrikaans dubbed animated movie about The Snow …
This week, we get an early start on Halloween with Not Another Paranormal Activity Movie, Bradley Cooper’s career takes a bit of a scary nosedive, old Disney classics come back to haunt us, and two local movies have nothing to do with Halloween but they still look pretty good. Plus we have a highly-praised coming-of-age drama and a properly awful …
This week sees a return to form for both Johnny Depp (yay!) and Ryan Reynolds (double yay!), a quirky indie teen movie about friendships and cancer, a terrible teen movie about making it big on Youtube, a likewise terrible independent animated feature and another South African movie I know nothing about. Black Mass In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John …
This week, Matt Damon gets lost in space, N.W.A. teach us the history of rap, the kids get an early Halloween treat, two local films generate some buzz and Nicholas Cage does what Nicholas Cage does best… star in a terrible movie. The Martian During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce …
