It’s been a good week for South Africa’s favourite prawn hater and A-Team lunatic. Sharlto Copley has recently locked in a crucial, villainous role in the Spike Lee reimagining of Oldboy, while also nabbing a spot in the  Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego’s dark thriller Open Grave, which will start shooting in Hungary soon. And now, he’s up for a role opposite Angelina Jolie in …

In case you haven’t realized it yet, today is a little special for us Star Wars fans. After all, May the fourth be with you, and all that. So, to celebrate, today’s trivia test is all set in a galaxy far, far away. The catch is, you’ve got to name the character that said the line, as guessing the film …

So I’m looking at having my heart replaced with that of a Belgian Draft horse, because I don’t know about you guys, but I simply see no other way for me to make it out of 2012 without some kind of cardiac event as a result of all the amazing (see what I did there?) geek films coming out. Case …

Apart from a couple of more contemplative movies, it’s a macho weekend at the box office – bringing big explosions and buckets of blood for your viewing pleasure. Battleship: Leave your brain at the door for this spiritual successor to Transformers, also from toy company Hasbro. Loosely based on the board/pen-and-paper game, Battleship pits a small naval fleet – in …

Just as promised by one Mr Terrence A. Crews, the full trailer to Expendables 2, the manliest movie ever made, came out last night. And boy it did not disappoint. This is pretty much the 80’s action version of The Avengers, except everybody is the love child of the Hulk and Tony Stark. It’s filled with enough explosions to make even Michael …

Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed!

Comedians are a dime a dozen these days, from the brilliant and dead (George Carlin) to the pathetic and still alive (I’m looking at you Carlos Mencia). One such brilliant, and decomposing funny man, was Bill Hicks. Hicks was a more brazen and in your face comedian, especially in his time, as he combined strange philosophies with hard hitting truths …

Right, let’s just get straight into this. We at TheMovies.co.za will not be held accountable for you being fired from your job and declared a perverted social outcast because you chose to ignore our NOT SAFE FOR WORK warnings. I mean, it’s bold italics, what more would you want? If you do work in a corner cubicle and have a pair …

When I first heard of Timur Bekmambetovs’ upcoming period  piece ass-kicker, I was filled with a certain level of disbelief. After all, how could the great emancipator and his trademark top hat make a film about Civil War vampires interesting? Then I saw some footage, and immediately, blood started flowing into certain extremities. This was a film that I could …

Writer-Director Gary Ross may no longer be interested in working on any sequels for the mega popular Hunger Games right now, but that doesn’t mean that he’s getting ready to throw in the towel on making new movies. Ross is however, partnering up with Hunger Games producer Summit Entertainment, for a new take on the greatest escape artist of all …

Is it just me or is Robert Pattinson trying his damndest to wash off all glittery traces of his Twilight fame by taking on much more mature and meatier roles. Judging from the trailers for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, he’s already looking to tackle slightly more… shall we say, eccentric material. And now he’s getting all real-world terror, by taking on …

I’ll be honest, this International trailer actually came out 3 days ago. So why haven’t I, resident Prometheus fanboy, been all over this like George Lucas at a flannel shirt clearance sale? Well see, I had already reached the point after which I no longer want to know any more plot details about two trailers ago. I loved the mystery and …
