If you follow TheMovies on Twitter and Facebook (and if you don’t… why not? All the cool kids are doing it), you’ll know that we have our Movie Poster of the Day, where we hunt down the interesting posters for movies old and new. This is a bit of a struggle sometimes, as honestly, the art of the movie poster …

After Quentin Tarantino’s rather awesome and bloody (not to mention highly controversial) Django Unchained, I was surprised the director decided to return to the same Spaghetti Western genre. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guns, the grit and coffee so bad you need a steel gut to survive it. I just thought he may have met his political commentary …

Sometimes, I think my job sucks. Not this one, obviously, but my daily grind. I’ve got a hell of a commute, cranky customers and long, boring hours in front of a computer screen. But, after watching The Revenant, maybe my job isn’t so bad after all. I can’t imagine living in that day and age. Imagine being a fur-trapper back …

The announcement of the Academy Awards nominations is never without some surprises. Movies and actors that you thought were shoe-ins might have been snubbed, while other nominations might have come out of left field. This year, I’m kind of surprised that Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for Joy. Yes, I know she got the Golden Globe for it, but Joy hasn’t been …

Sitting here and writing about all of this just feels wrong, for so many reasons – but let me explain. If you missed it from the title there is a Robin Hood: Origins movie in the works. Whats wrong with this? Simply put, do we really need another Robin Hood movie? I don’t think so. You could argue that taking …

But this year might just be his year. His latest offering, The Revenant, has lit up the box office and, …

NOTE: This is an opinion piece and does not necessarily reflect the views of the rest of the writers at TheMovies.co.za. I’m not one for awards ceremonies, as I tend to find what critics deem a good movie is not necessarily always the most entertaining (which is the purpose of movies in the first place), so I don’t think it’s …

Welcome to 2016! I’m slowly getting used to writing a 6 instead of a 5, at this rate I’ll get the date right some time in February. Hope that everyone had a fantastic holiday, and managed to catch some of the new movies that came out in the last few weeks of 2015. To my shame, I only managed to …

Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino has stated in 2015 that directing 10 films might be his limit. Now that is of course not set in stone and Tarantino himself has said that there is no guarantee his foray into film making will definitely stop there. Lets just say for argument’s sake that this is the case, could a third Kill Bill …
