Sharlto & Rampage in SA to promote A Team!
Most South Africans – I know I did – rejoiced when we learnt that Sharlto Copley was to star in yet another Hollywood blockbuster. Having been fans of The A Team television series growing up, and also having enjoyed his quirky and witty humour on the Oscar-nominated District 9, we had no doubt he was the perfect choice to play Captain Murdock in the big screen adaptation of The A Team. Although most of us were kinda disappointed that...
Win Step Up 3D Hampers!
The fact that the new installment of the Step Up franchise was shot and will be released in 3D is not the only thing special about the film. Step Up 3D also boasts a new cast that brings the different characters to life. The film is, visually, stunning. Please check out our review/feature we did last week HERE.
Step Up 3D opens at Nu Metro cinemas nationwide this coming Friday, 13 August 2010. To celebrate this release, our good friends at Nu...
Mackie and Washington team up again!
Browsing through the internet I came across a very striking poster of a movie called Night Catches Us. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that Kerry Washington and Anthony Mackie are featured on the poster therefore leading the lineup. I remembered the first and last time I saw them playing alongside each other in the Spike Lee picture She Hate Me, and how captivated I was. I actually think that’s when I became a staunch fan of both.
Anthony...
WIN TICKETS: StevelMarc.com & Step Up 3D!
My good friend model, actor and entrepreneur Stevel Marc had a vision for his website and did everything in his power to bring that vision to life. A few months ago he showed me the almost finished product and was very impressed with what I saw. I told him at the time that his pushing of the envelop makes him the only entertainer/celebrity I know, especially in Mzansi, that will have such innovative and unique presence online.
But when he told...
Knight And Day: Fun and entertaining
Cruiz and Diaz as Roy Miller and June Heavens
This was initially dubbed Tom Cruise’s huge comeback after the 2008 Nazi film Valkyrie. Although it has not done very well in America largely due to the issues they have with Cruise’s personal life, I think it will do better in other territories throughout the world.
Knight And Day follows a life of whirlwind adventure for a secret agent and a woman who is unknowingly caught up in the operation....
Brooklyn’s Finest: Explosive crime drama
Don Cheadle as Clarence aka Tango
I had been waiting for Brooklyn’s Finest since I first learned about it from a friend last year. My interest led me to keep asking from the local distribution companies if and when it would be released here in South Africa. To say I was over the moon when I realised that it was included in the lineup of films from Nu Metro, is an understatement.
Yesterday, I got to see Brooklyn’s Finest ahead of its...
I Love You Phillip Morris: Intriguing
Ewan McGregor as Phillip & Jim Carrey as Steve
Jim Carrey teams up with Ewan McGregor on his latest film I Love You Phillip Morris. The film chronicles the ludicrous and intriguing tale of a man who couldn’t stay away from jail, committing different crimes and felonies for different reasons – mainly to be with a love of his life – for the most part of his life.
Ewan McGregor’s unassuming and genuine performance was enjoyable....
WIN with Iron Man 2!
Tony Stark continues where he left off, this time fighting a ghost from his father’s past. Robert Downey Jnr is in his element as the witty, edgy, smart, but flawed superhero.
Scarlet Johansson in Lycra suit as Black Widow
Joining him is Don Cheadle, who replaced Terence Howard as his right hand-man, Rodhey. Iron Man 2 boasts even more huge names with the likes of Scarlet Johansson, who is ultra hot in this film as the no-nonsense military-equipped...

REVIEW
I have this tendency of skimming through the line-up of the film before deciding whether to watch it or not. This has worked in my favour most of the times, but also against me a few times. When I saw Mark...
