PAN'S LABYRINTH returns…as a stage musical?
This is just starting to get ridiculous. Guillermo Del Toro is a busy man with a lot on his plate, and he just seems to never stop. Here’s an example of his current workload.

Movies out today: Forcing "Fun" and Freelancers on us
Right South African moviegoers, this is evidently your weekend off. It’s time to relax and build up your strength because from next Friday the end of year blockbuster season kicks off. Skyfall, The Hobbit, Rise of the Guardians, Looper, Life of Pi… they’re all coming out in quick succession. Today, though, the new releases aren’t really appealing at all. Freelancers: …
Could ANCHORMAN 2 be a musical?

Go steal some bread with this latest LES MISERABLES featurette
I dreamed a dream…No wait, wrong song. Er, Let’s do the time warp again! Dammit, wrong musical again!

Also, Wolverine sings, …
Movies out today: Undead action, animation and magic realism
From hyper-stylised zombie slaying to quirky arthouse fare, there’s a trio of new movies releasing at South African cinemas from today. Resident Evil: Retribution: Shot for, and screening in, 3D is this fifth Resident Evil film, moving further and further away from the video game franchise that kicked off the movie series. Under the direction of Paul W. S. Anderson, …
