Like a wise man (who invented the keytar tie) once said “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here!” See remakes are, by default, not supposed to be good. If they were, we’d have a serious lack of source material for our poor excuses at humour around here. But just like Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead, Kimberley “Boys Don’t Cry” Pierce’s …
What if for one night, you could do anything you wanted – any criminal activity, even murder – and no police or any authorities of any kind would stop you? No, this is not a documentary about Friday night on the Cape Flats. This is the rather intriguing premise for speculative thriller The Purge, which sees Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey trying …
Adam Sandler is starting to enter a field of comedy that can only be measured in Schuster levels. You know the type that we’re talking about here. Its gotten lazier, more predictable and includes even more bodily fluids than ever before. Still, for some reason I just cannot hate Grown Ups. Especially when the sequel features a David Spade colonic. …
So I was brainstorming with Kervyn, and we’ve totally got an idea to grab ourselves a piece of that young adult pie and move on up to the east side.

With a sequel on the way, director OdinSon director Thor Freudenthal has a chance to skip the exposition and get down to adventurin’ business. Even …
When the end of the world comes, I’m probably inviting none of y’all into my tin foil super-bunker! Still, I’m not the only survivalist out there, and we’ll most likely meet in Thunderdome when we battle to the death over some AA batteries and an MP3 player loaded with ZZ Top songs. Over in Hollywood though, things look much bleaker, …
Since bursting onto the scene in 1989 with Sex, Lies and Videotape (for those of you to young to remember, that’s a movie title, not a strategy), Oscar winning director Steven Soderbergh has just about done it all, from slick heist movies to hard hitting drug dramas to even a movie about Channing Tatum’s butt cheeks. But every good run has …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
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.
