Four films open in South Africa today. It’s a big week for ensemble casts although the biggie release is very much in the midyear blockbuster mould… for better or worse. Last Updated: July 12, 2013
We’re less than three weeks away from the world’s favourite multi-tasking mutant snikt-snikting his away onto our screens again in The Wolverine. For director James Mangold this is more than just a chance to redeem the damage done to the character by the utterly mediocre X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but rather it’s an opportunity to tell a tale of a lost warrior.

Damn, I really thought that we’d be on the receiving end of an adamatium-laced trailer for the latest film starring the Canadian berserker mutant in The Wolverine, but alas, no such footage surfaced during the festive break. While X-Men Origins: Wolverine may have been an underwhelming film that had the cajun mutant Gambit running around ruining everything, director James Mangold is taking …
Oh Adam Sandler, what I wouldn’t give for you to be funny and relevant once more. Over the last couple of years, your films have steadily declind, and the last time that I genuinely laughed, was in Don’t Mess with the Zohan. But that was at Benecio Del Toro, not you. And for your next project, my enthusiasm wanes even …

There are far too few Western films in production now. We’re big fans of the genre, from the classics through to the currents, so whenever word hits that a new old west film is saddling up, we’re on it quicker than the fastest hands in the west. Dexter “Wild Bill” Fletcher is setting up to make such an old timey …
I’m a huge fan of western films. Clint Eastwood, Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer, those are actors who all grace my collection of high noon shoot-outs and showdowns. Notice something missing there? Yep, those films are generally massive sausage festivals, with every few female characters seen. In fact, the last time I may have seen a leading lady slap leather, may have …
A good loot box never feels like a coupon. It feels like a moment. …
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. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
