This past weekend I was at the cinema to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens again (still amazing the second time around by the way), and while I was waiting in line for my popcorn I saw a poster for a movie that’s coming out in two weeks’ time: Norm of the North. What struck me as weird is that …

Well it would appear I am in the wrong business. I clearly should be making movies and not watching them. 2015 has been a year of big sequel blockbusters which made big loads of cash for their studios – in particular Universal and Disney, who Variety reports have both had record returns for 2015: Universal finished the year with $6.89 …

Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …

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 …

What if the dinosaurs had never vanished? What if they had stuck around, and that asteroid had missed the planet entirely? Contrary to what Cadillacs And Dinosaurs taught us as kids, I doubt that we’d be rolling around in classic muscle cars and getting into wacky hijinks every week. Because a rat problem is nothing compared to a slight T-Rex …

Long before Disney started practising their lightsaber skills with their newly acquired Star Wars, was a newfound drive to make animated films which weren’t only box office succeses, but critical hits as well. And the last couple of years have been good to Disney with that plan in mind. Thanks to the likes of Tangled, Frozen, Big Hero 6 and …

2014 may have been a bleak year for Pixar movies (or their complete lack of them), but 2015 is off to a fine start so far. Inside Out has proven to be a massive money-maker, and the next film hitting cinemas will be The Good Dinosaur. Here’s a trailer for it: “The Good Dinosaur” asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever …

Look, let’s be honest. Pixar’s latest flick already had me at “dino”. Also, “Pixar”. Because while the acclaimed animation studio has dropped the ball a bit for me (yes, I’m looking at you, Cars movies!) they appear the be getting back to their winning ways after going a nearly unprecedented two years without a movie. The last time that happened …
