We’ve had a crazy week for new trailers. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Fantastic Four, Jurassic World and Mad Max: Fury Road. Seeing as so many massively hyped big budget movies have been dominating our headlines, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s Midweek Movie Mouth-Off to the little guys, those movies you might not …

  I finally got to see Interstellar this weekend. While it was a great movie, don’t get me wrong, it was a damn long movie as well. To be fair, while I was watching it I barely noticed how much time was passing, but it was still an almost three hour stretch of sitting in one place. This got me …

Confession time: I have yet to see a movie on IMAX. Firstly, I’m lazy. I hardly ever go to the cinema in the first place, but when I do I go to the closest one to my house. The closest IMAX theatre to me is in Pretoria which is just way too far to drive. Secondly, I’m cheap. Cinema tickets …

With the box office success of live-action remake of Cinderalla – which has already scored over $300 million at the box office – Disney has obviously decided to milk that cash cow. After Tim Burton was announced as the director of the live-action remake of Dumbo, it was announced yesterday that we’ll be getting a live-action remake of Mulan as well. …

Esquire recently ran an interesting poll, asking their readers which cancelled-before-its-time TV show that would reboot if they could. There were many different options over loads of different genres, from My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks, to Clone High, Spaced and the original UK version of The Office. I know what you’re all thinking and, no, Firefly didn’t win. …

As much as the big screen has been good to comic book adaptations, the small screen has been even better. Between The Walking Dead, Gotham, The Flash, Arrow, Constantine, Powers and even your tangentially-linked shows like Agent Carter and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., we are definitely spoiled for choice when it comes to getting our live-action comic fix. That being said, …

There’s been a definite rising YA-books-to-movies trend, from the forerunners of the pack, Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, to the new additions like The Maze Runner and Divergent. Now, fans of the Artemis Fowl books have started a petition to see their big screen dreams realised for a movie that’s been rumoured for quite a while. I’ve never read the Artemis …

For someone that writes for a movies website, admittedly I don’t watch a lot of movies. I keep current with the news, but I have some serious gaps in my movie education. So it’s never a surprise to my friends when they say “have you seen insert movie title that literally everyone has seen?” and I say no. What is …

Well, don’t ever trust me to predict who is going to win an Oscar! To be fair, half of my predictions were who I would like to see win (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!). At least you know, once again, that you can trust Kervyn’s opinions, seeing as his predictions were (pretty much) spot on. So Birdman …

Genres rise and fall in popularity across all art and entertainment forms, from artwork to literature to music to movies; the latter being most relevant to us here at The Movies for obvious reasons. The one movie genre that’s clearly riding that wave of popularity is the superhero, raking in billions of box office dollars not just from comic book …

It’s almost time for the big one! The 87th Annual Hollywood Circle Jerk Academy Awards are on this Sunday (22 February) and there are lots of strong movies up for awards this year. Check here if you need a reminder of who’s nominated. Seeing as no one really cares about the majority of the technical categories, here are my predictions …

Damn, how about that Spider-Man news from yesterday? Have we all recovered yet? Because, I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a pretty freaking huge deal! Having Spider-man officially form part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is massive, and speaks volumes about where the MCU is heading and what we can (hopefully) expect from upcoming storylines. Slightly less …
