Magnificent Iron Lady

[Daniel Dercksen] The Iron Lady is an exceptional and dignified master work that affords anyone a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of one of the most famous women in history and grasp an understanding of fame, glory and infamy. Abi Morgan's intricate and jaggedly plotted narrative cleverly places its audience in the mindscape of Margaret Roberts, skilfully drawing us into the ordinary and private worlds of an extraordinary woman whose life was shaped by men (and society) who imprisoned her ideals and beliefs, and one special man (Denis Thatcher) who captured her heart and became her spirited soul mate and joyful confidante. Set against the backdrop of politics and the battleground of politicians, where Margaret Thatcher ruled as warrior and dictator, the story perfectly captures the woman behind the allure of fame, and brilliantly depicts the ultimate reward and devastation of victory. 8 Feb 2012 09:49



Dealing with the ultimate problem child

[Eugene Yiga] It's tough being a parent. On the one hand, kids are incredibly expensive. (Local insurance companies recently estimated the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 at R3.5 million.) On the other hand, they bring up all sorts of inner worries. Will I be a good parent? What if my child doesn't love me? While many parenting books already cover these issues, they tend to ignore one. What if my child turns out to be an absolute monster? What should I do then? 31 Jan 2012 11:35

Probing beneath the surface

[Eugene Yiga] The word "disturbing" doesn't even being to describe The Skin I Live In, a new movie by Pedro Almodóvar. While the legendary Spanish director has been known to push cinematic boundaries (previous works like Bad Education and Volver come to mind), his latest creation is something else entirely. Enter at your own risk. 24 Jan 2012 11:15

Punk at heart

[Ruth Cooper] Punk arises in times of strife, when the status quo needs a serious kick in the crotch and a spit in the face; not surprising then that there was a small, but dedicated, group of punk rockers playing in southern Africa at the height of the apartheid madness in the 70s and 80s. Daring life and "freedom" to question and protest the unjust system. 19 Jan 2012 10:16

SA heist movie grossed R320 000 on opening weekend

South Africa's heist movie 31 Million Reasons, which opened nationally last Friday, grossed almost R320 000 from only 27 digital prints in its first three days on circuit and also featured on the industry Top-10 listing for the weekend.



Life on the edge in Margin Call

[Eugene Yiga: @eugeneyiga] "We are the 99 percent!" So screamed many a protester who "occupied" the world. Clearly, there's still a lot of anger following the 2008 financial crash. That probably explains why Inside Job won last year's Oscar for the best documentary (despite coming across as a manipulative vendetta a few too many times). But what about the other side? What do the bankers think and feel? And what was going through their minds while the mess was going on? Margin Call is here to answer these questions. 17 Jan 2012 11:26
