Now, as an avid fan of films, I’ve watched my fair share of crap. Except here’s the thing, in a cinema that has more people moaning than a Raelian group orgy, I’ve been the sole person that managed to sit down and think to myself, “This film is so bad, it’s awesome!“. And I’ve got my fair share of such …

Let’s face it, as much as I really liked John Carter, it has not exactly been setting the Box Office alight. You could not visit an entertainment publication on Monday, without being smacked full in the face with stories about how Disney is going to be making it’s biggest loss ever. There was much frantic rubbing of palms and twirling of moustaches, while words …

It’s time to talk snacks… When you hit the cinema are you a classic popcorn and Coke kinda guy or gal? Or have you upgraded to the more premium iced coffee and muffin combo? Do you smuggle in your own sweets and drink, disgusted at the thought of paying R15 at the concessions stand for a 500ml bottle of water? …
