If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that entertainment is expensive, so trips to the cinema are starting to become an exercise in caution. With the price of the tickets and, of course, the snacks, plus the mental exhaustion of braving the crowds, going to watch a movie has become quite costly. So obviously, we do what …

Have you ever noticed that, despite what is no doubt your best effort, your life never seems to resemble a movie? Besides for the obvious lack of montages, that is. No matter how realistic a movie is, there are always little details that seem to only ever happen on the silver screen. It’s like they exist in a world of …

In our internal group chats, besides for divvying up who’s writing about what, we also tend to talk about movies in general, who’s seen what and the throwaway thoughts that we’re not going to publish. We’re all very different people, with different tastes, but most of the time we tend to agree with each other. Sometimes though, there comes a movie …

So the early reviews for Warcraft are in and… well… it’s not looking too good. While the movie might be pretty, it sucks pretty much everywhere else. Which is a major disappointment, after the extensive marketing campaign and all the amazing trailers, we still end up with a terribly lacklustre movie. So everyone that pinned their hopes on Warcraft to …

Since IMAX was brought back to the country, in just two and a half years Ster Kinekor have rolled out seven new theatres, which is one of the fastest IMAX rollouts ever done. On Wednesday night, I had the privilege of attending the launch of South Africa’s newest IMAX theatre, which has just opened at the brand new Mall of …

Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War has been smashing it at the box office – pushing Marvel one step closer to being the first movie of 2016 to earn over $1 billion. Cumulatively, the MCU has now earned over $10 billion across its 13 movies. That’s pretty impressive, all in all. But, I know some people weren’t too impressed with Civil …

The embargo on US reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse lifted yesterday, and like Kervyn pointed out, it’s a miXed bag (bonus points for the X joke there). So far most critics agree that it’s pretty… meh. Apocalypse is a lot of “been-there-done-that”. There are some high points, for sure, and a lot of low points, but the whole doesn’t seem to …

Happy Star Wars Day everybody! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, well, this article isn’t going to be for you! Go check out May the 4th if you need to. If you do know what I’m talking about, then you probably fall into one of two camps. Either you think it’s an irritating excuse for people to …

It’s an exciting time to be a Marvel fan! With the release of Captain America: Civil War (which opens tomorrow!), Marvel has officially kicked off their Phase 3. With 10 movies it’s their biggest phase yet, and we’ve got a lot to look forward to. First up is obviously Civil War itself, which is, by all accounts, totally fantastic. And thanks to …

There was a lot of hubbub last week around the first look we got at Scarlett Johannson as Major Motoko Kusunagi in the upcoming feature film adaptation of Ghost in the Shell. As Kervyn pointed out, while she looks quite good in the part, Johannson is about as Japanese as he is a French poodle. And by no means was …

The major awards shows of 2016 have come and gone, but we still have room for some silliness with the MTV Movie Awards, the winners of which were announced on Monday. Now obviously, the MTV Movie Awards aren’t anything like the BAFTAS, the Golden Globes or the grand-daddy of them all, the Academy Awards. MTV doesn’t take itself, or the …

This may come as a shock (especially to Kervyn who’s probably going to fire me now) but, despite what I claimed otherwise to land this gig, movies and TV aren’t my biggest passion (sorry Kerv). That honour really belongs to board games. So news like Warner Brothers landing a director for a Dungeons and Dragons movie obviously interests me a …
