Midweek Mouth-off: Age ain't nothing but a number… or is it?

By Noelle Adams
August 8, 2012
in :  Opinion
3

Time to be judgemental… With just over a week to go before The Expendables 2 releases, we want to know what you think about actors who persist in playing burly action heroes in their 50s, 60s and beyond? Likewise for actresses who cling to the sexpot personas of their 20s and 30s. Are you happy that they’re still doing it …

While Dark Knight Rises only got its official release this past weekend, some of you have been gloating over the rest of us for more than a week already, as you got to see it at the Ster Kinekor pre-release screenings on Sunday, 23 July. Unfortunately, what should have been the geektastic experience of seeing one of most anticipated films …

Midweek Mouth-off: Keeping count

By Noelle Adams

Today it’s a simple question: We want to know how often you go to the movies? At least once a week? A couple of times a month, or is it only a handful of visits a year? Alternatively, are you someone who does most of their viewing at home on a snazzy home theatre set-up? How often do typically watch …

Holy crazy fans, Batman! This Dark Knight Rises review debacle is turning ugly!

Tomorrow at 5pm, I will have the pleasure of sitting down to view one of my most anticipated movies of the year, The Dark Knight Rises. Well, at least I used to think it would be a pleasure. You see, I’ve recently become dreadfully afraid that I might end up not liking TDKR as much as it’s predecessors. And if that …

Midweek Mouth-off: Out of touch?

By Noelle Adams
July 18, 2012
in :  Opinion
5

A simple question this week: Do you believe film reviewers are out of touch with the tastes of the movie-going public? Are they too jaded to appreciate lightweight fun for what it is? Are they too wrapped up in film school terminology and auteur appreciation to communicate what really matters – whether the film is good or not? Or, alternatively, …

Today it’s your chance to be a time-travelling hero. If you could go back and stop the making of a single massive movie disappointment, which would it be? Lock away M. Night Shyamalan before he could botch the Last Airbender movie? Eradicate Terminator Salvation from the world’s memory? Punch Ridley Scott in the mouth before he could talk up Prometheus? …

Midweek Mouth-off: The right reviewer for the job

By Noelle Adams
July 4, 2012

TheMovies.co.za’s recent decision to publish Second Opinion reviews for high profile, potentially divisive movies like Prometheus (Kervyn’s review, Noelle’s review) and Mad Buddies (Gavin’s review, Kervyn’s review) has certainly led to a lot of heated debate and disagreement. So today’s question is: Should films only be reviewed by reviewers who are in the target audience, or is it open season? …

Midweek Mouth-off: Dumb, Dumber and Dumberest

By Noelle Adams
June 27, 2012
in :  Opinion

Dear Ridley Scott, thank you for Prometheus. It is currently the best movie to gleefully discuss drunk. From the most squeamish, non-procedural scientists in the galaxy; to a ball-busting, “I’m always prepared” career woman who fills her escape pod with all kinds of sharp, fragile breakables and a men-only surgical unit… From heroes who can only think to run forwards (not sideways) to …

Midweek Mouth-off: Are you a rewatcher?

Today we want to know more about your viewing habits. Do you often rewatch the same movie at the cinema, despite the cost of movie tickets, or are you a love-it-and-leave-it type? What films, if any, have you delighted in watching multiple times on the big screen?

Midweek Mouth-off: Ambiguity or answers?

By Noelle Adams
June 13, 2012
in :  Opinion

As the world debates Prometheus – and endless other prequels and remakes are apparently greenlit just to answer some of moviedom’s great questions – today we want to know whether you’re someone who prefers ambiguity in their movies, or demands an explanation? What films have left you pondering long afterwards, and what could have actually benefited from ending before everything …

Midweek Mouth-off: 3D vs. IMAX

By Noelle Adams
June 6, 2012
in :  Opinion
8

They’ve both been called gimmicks but today we want to know which of moviedom’s 2 most prominent “immersive” formats you would pick if forced to choose: 3D or IMAX? (Alas, the 3D IMAX combo has never made it to South Africa). Or, alternatively, do you dismiss both as blatant excuses to milk cinemagoers of extra money. For the record, this month …
