[Daniel Dercksen] It's the weekend and there's plenty of action to stimulate the mind! If you're heading for the movies there are two adaptations of best-selling books that are sure to stir up some conversation. In writer-director Andrea Arnold's controversial adaptation of Emile Bronte's Wuthering Heights a Yorkshire hill farmer on a visit to Liverpool finds a homeless boy on the streets. He takes him home to live as part of his family on the isolated Yorkshire Moors where the boy forges an obsessive relationship with the farmer's daughter. 18 May 2012 11:42
[Daniel Dercksen] What would life be without great love stories? And what would romance be if not fully experienced on the big screen where it is magnificently magnified 10 times larger than life? In the tradition of the tearful The Notebook and the heartbreaking Letters To Juliet, comes The Vow, another memorable romance that will steal your heart and take you on a meaningful and rewarding emotional journey. 16 May 2012 09:30
[Daniel Dercksen] In an age of self-medication, self-mutilation, self-help gurus and self-satisfaction, Shame is not a simple film to watch, but a stimulating and significant eye-opener; in it lays dormant forbidden fears, sinful desires and shocking secrets that mask our true identity and reveal a darker side of our humanity that ultimately shines a light on true happiness. 11 May 2012 09:11
[Daniel Dercksen] The fear of alien invasion has always been a favourite topic for science fiction stories and films, and with Battleship, the end of the world has never been more awesome and the aliens never more fearsome. Battleship is an explosive and action-packed futuristic adventure that plunges you mercilessly into an unimaginably hostile world where chaos and mayhem rules. 9 May 2012 11:14
[Daniel Dercksen] In the hands of the perfect executors, Shakespeare can be lethal. With Coriolanus, actor and director Ralph Fiennes and screenwriter John Logan (Gladiator) stir up a mean potion as they bring one of Shakespeare's most fierce and dangerous warlords to the big screen in all his bloody glory! 7 May 2012 13:29
The 5th Extreme Film Festival, to be held at The Labia Theatre, Cape Town from 11 to 13 May, 2012, will be expanded to cover: freestyle moto-cross, zombies, martial arts legends, forest demons, Viking religious exploration, the porn industry, apocalypse, psychos, ghosts, terrorists, Japanese hara-kiri, experimental-, myth-, fantasy- and musical inclusions. 4 May 2012 10:56
[Daniel Dercksen] If Edgar Allan Poe was alive today, the inspired gothic thriller The Raven is the kind of film he would write. Just as Poe's tales were sensational page turners and garnered thousands of new readers with each story, Australian director James McTeigue delivers an equally commanding scene turner that guarantees to keep you on the edge of your seat. 4 May 2012 09:23
[Daniel Dercksen] For those who might think that fishing is tedious, the utterly enjoyable and charming British film Salmon Fishing In The Yemen is guaranteed not only to change your opinion about our scaly friends, but also to transform your views on life, love and unrequited dreams. 2 May 2012 11:06
[Charles Siboto] In terms of fantasy, sci-fi and comic book movies, the year 2012 only begins now. Sure, we've had the rather lacklustre Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Wrath of the Titans and, dare I add, The Hunger Games to whet our appetites for what is to come, but that's all they were - starters before the main course. 2 May 2012 09:32
[Daniel Dercksen] The commanding and emotionally charged A Million Colours clearly shows how we can never change the past and how the memory of our lives plants the seed for a bright new future. 26 Apr 2012 10:19
[Daniel Dercksen] For anyone who has ever marvelled at the spectacle and awe of iconic Marvel Super Heroes; Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow, will be bowled over by the magnificence of one of the biggest action adventures films ever. It opens in South Africa on April 26, a week before its release in America. We are fortunate to be one of the first countries to see it! 25 Apr 2012 13:05
[Eugene Yiga] There are millions of species on the planet. It is ironic, then, that most movies are about human beings. Well, BBC Earth Films is trying to shift the balance. After the highly successful and beautifully made Earth, they've come out with another masterpiece in One Life. 24 Apr 2012 14:18
[Eugene Yiga] Survivor. Big Brother. The Amazing Race. There's only so much action we can expect from these and the smorgasbord of other reality TV shows. And so, as was the case in 2011's Real Steel, society of the future has taken the concept one step further. Introducing the Hunger Games, an annual contest in which 24 boys and girls fight to the death until only one is left. A question more pertinent than asking who will survive is asking if you the viewer can survive long enough to find out. 23 Apr 2012 10:10
