No, not that directionally challenged Spanish guy who drunkenly stumbled across America, I’m talking about Chris Columbus of Home Alone and Harry Potter fame. The highly successful director has just recently finished producing Oscar winner, The Help, but will be going back behind the camera for an adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s best selling novel, Home Front.

What with shows like Family Guy and American Dad, as well as making jokes about Pamela Anderson’s nether regions as MTV Roast-master, it’s a well-established fact that Seth MacFarlane is a funny man. And based on this red band trailer for his directorial debut, Ted, it looks like he may be just as funny as Mark Wahlberg’s foul mouthed, pot …

The weekend saw a number of big films debut, all attempting to unseat current kings and queens of the box office. But as usual, only one could claim the top spot, bringing in more cash for its hungry studios, so lets have a look at who grabbed the top spot this week.

You’d think that any story which made the rounds on April 1st yesterday was just a joke, but Ashton Kutcher portraying the late Steve Jobs as he rose to power, tumbled, scraped his knee, got better, rose to power again, and then died, is indeed happening.

Last week we reported on the new teaser trailer for the first trailer (damn, that’s a stupid phrase) for the Len Wiseman Total Recall reboot, and while that teaser certainly had its visually striking moments, not much else could be seen beyond, you know, all the freaking words telling you to watch the real trailer later that week.

Ready for another round of movie quote trivia? Good! Get to your seats and sit down then, as we proceed with the quiz. The rules are the same as usual, first round of five questions will be easy, the next five, more difficult, but not totally obscure. Whoever gets all ten right gets a special no-prize from me, in the …

I like to think that I can handle any manner of nasty film or horror genre thrown at me, but the Human Centipede duo of gross-out movies happens to be one of those rare occurrences where I had to keep a standby bucket next to me. The first film was purely gonzo madness with a dash of cult, while the second took …

There’s been talk for a while already that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito were looking to do so a sequel to their 1988 comedy, Twins, which saw the mismatched pair as genetically engineered brothers travelling across the country, reuniting with their birth mother, finding true love and destroying t-shirts with bowling ball sized biceps.  With the Governator’s “acting” career burgeoning again, …

Three new movies open in South African cinemas today, and they’re all of the pretty serious kind. Wrath of the Titans: Screening in CONVERTED 3D is the sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans remake – which I had such high hopes for before it was evidently mangled during and after production.

The big blue boy scout is once again returning to screens next year, rebooting the franchise after the snoozefest that was Superman Returns back in 2006.
