Whenever I’ve seen Liam Neesen‘s name attached to a film, a certain kind of excitement bolts through my body. This is caused by the fact that I’ve immensely enjoyed all the films I’ve seen him in. When I saw him in Taken a few years ago I was bowled over. His performances are always raw and real. Upon seeing his name on the lineup for Unknown, I felt that longing to watch him transform himself into yet another character. Diane... 

In the beginning of last year I (Khetha Mkhize) was selected as one of the judges for the Naledi Theatre Awards. I was over the moon for being bestowed with this responsibility and exercise. As I watched theatre productions and got to experience the degree of the work that goes into them, I discovered new found respect and adulation for this craft. That led my taking all the parties involved with theatre more seriously. It is truly humbling and... 

Natalie Portman as Nina and Vincent Cassel as director of Swan Lake The award season has created such a buzz for this film that I couldn’t wait to watch it. Even friends who got a chance to watch it towards the end of last year were singing praises about it, particularly that of its star Natalie Portman. Although a former child star, it wasn’t until 2004 that I took more interest in her. Subsequently, I became a fan of hers after seeing...

Kenneth Nkosi was MC and returns as host... 

SPUD, the motion picture adaptation of the novel with the same name by John van de Ruit, is finally hitting cinemas in Mzansi. I have not read any of the three books the film is adapted from, therefore I cannot compare the two mediums. What I will say though, is that I was utterly impressed by some of the performances. John Milton aka SPUD, played by South African born Troye Sivan has just been accepted to an elite boarding school. His life is... 

Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman as Victoria, Frank and Joe, respectively. RED is a n action-comedy film based on a three-part DC Comics graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. It brings together heavyweights that have dominated the silver screen for decades. I’m talking Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren. That tight line-up on its own is sure to appeal or at least convince any cinema goer to... 

In a quest to continue the debate about one of the biggest killers in South Africa, HIV/AIDS, SABC launched a drama series called InterSEXions. InterSEXions consists of 25 independent episodes covering topics about sex and relationships, subjects synonymous with the virus. At the end of the series, there will be a huge finale, bringing together all or most of the 68 leading characters from the previous episodes. Sounds really interesting. And by...
