‘Deadpool & Wolverine’: Welcome to the Wasteland
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’: Welcome to the Wasteland
Saturday 27 July 2024 02:00 PM
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is not only one of the most anticipated films of the year, it is also probably the first time that a production company has admitted publicly: ‘yeah, maybe we have been going about this all wrong.’

One of the more unusual Hollywood careers that cinema audiences have had the opportunity to watch play out over the years has been the career of Nicolas Cage. There was a time in Cage’s career where he was known for his blockbusters – The Rock, Con Air, Gone in Sixty Seconds – and then came a period of straight-to-DVD movies – so many in fact that it almost felt like a weekly occurrence.
‘Twisters’ tears through action-packed plot
‘Twisters’ tears through action-packed plot
Saturday 13 July 2024 02:00 PM
If you are a fan of the classic 1996 disaster flick ‘Twister’, then you have probably been waiting with bated breath to see how its follow-up, simply titled ‘Twisters’, stacks up. Many consider the Helen Hunt/Bill Paxton original a blue-print of what a disaster film should look like, so it is perhaps a very brave task that director Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) and screenwriter Mark L. Smith (The Revenant) have taken on to continue the story.

Sunday 7 July 2024 10:18 AM
When it comes to disaster movies they have become pretty formulaic. The audience will be introduced to a bunch of characters – most likable – and then a disaster will befall them. Some of the characters will live, some will die along the way but one hero will rise above the rest in order to lead most to safety.
‘Despicable Me’ still gives the giggles

Saturday 29 June 2024 11:00 AM
It is hard to believe that the lovable adventures of an animated villain and his yellow-creatured minions has now provided enough storylines for six feature films, a TV series and an unlimited amount of short films – but that is exactly what Gru (voiced by Steve Carrell – 40 Year Old Virgin) and his Minions have managed to achieve.

Saturday 22 June 2024 11:00 AM
‘The Exorcism’ is perhaps one of those movies that wouldn’t have most cinema goers even bat an eyelid about it if it weren’t for the calibre of its cast and of course the atmosphere that one of those stars means the film is surrounded by.
Pixar brilliance shines again with ‘Inside Out 2’
Pixar brilliance shines again with ‘Inside Out 2’
Saturday 15 June 2024 11:00 AM
As a studio, Pixar have had an interesting journey into Hollywood. In the early days they couldn’t put a foot wrong – films like ‘Toy Story’, ‘Cars’, ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Monsters Inc’ became instant fan favourites while ‘Wall-E’ and ‘Up’ were described by critics as the kind of movies that would change animation forever.
‘Bad Boys’ still gunning for entertainment
‘Bad Boys’ still gunning for entertainment
Wednesday 12 June 2024 12:08 PM
Four years ago fans of the mammoth ‘Bad Boys’ franchise waited with baited breath to see whether ‘Bad Boys for Life’ could work not only without Michael Bay in the director’s chair and whether or not there was still interest in the series some 21 years after the last film.

Journey to the Golden Globes
Sunday 2 June 2024 11:00 AM
Something strange and unexpected happened to me earlier this month. It is something beautiful but also something that I could never fathom would happen in a million years. I found myself being accepted as an alternate judge for the prestigious Golden Globes Awards.

‘Garfield’ goes large on old-school humour
Saturday 1 June 2024 02:00 PM
Everything old is new again and now everybody’s favourite orange tabby is back in a new adventure. It is hard to believe that Garfield has now been entertaining people of all ages for 46 years…. The great thing is that it seems a number of people over the years have found ways to keep Garfield as fresh as possible. From new cartoons and comics through to movies starring the vocal skills of Bill Murray.
Why Are Books Challenged?
Thursday 30 May 2024 01:12 PM
World Book Day came and went by like a tornado and left us all in the hazy storm questioning, why are so many books challenged (read banned) globally?

When making a franchise of films how do you top what has come previously when the last film was universally loved by critics and fans alike while also lazily picking up six Oscars along the way?

The description ‘beautiful film’ is not one that is often used to describe films with the family genre – but it is really the only way you describe the brand-new film ‘IF’.

Saturday 11 May 2024 11:00 AM
When it comes to franchises that have never had a weak movie, the modern reboot of ‘Planet of the Apes’ has surely led the way. While many were sceptical of a reboot just 10 years after Tim Burton’s take on the classic story had hit cinemas, they were soon eating their words as the new films found a way to be both touching and epic while still making a strong comment about humanity.

You don’t know it yet but Dev Patel is the superhero that you need in your life. If somebody had said to you at the beginning of this year that one of the best action films of 2024 would star Patel you probably would have laughed hysterically.

Get ready for one of the most surprising but fun joyrides of 2024. While many cinema fans out there might be a little worried about the action-comedy tag linked to the brand-new film ‘The Fall Guy’, there is absolutely nothing to be worried about here because ‘The Fall Guy’ is not just a great action-comedy, it is an excellent film all round and deserves to be one of the blockbuster successes of this year.

Genre-blending! That is the first thing that comes to mind when the credits role on the brand- new ‒ what most would label horror ‒ film ‘Abigail’.

When it comes to the world of entertainment there is very little that writer/filmmaker Alex Garland hasn’t done. His debut novel, ‘The Beach’, which was released back in 1996 focussed on his travels to Thailand and made him an instant hit in the literature world.

Thursday 11 April 2024 11:50 AM
When you think of iconic film franchises, ‘Ghostbusters’ needs to be mentioned alongside series such as ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Batman’. Like most franchises, the road for ‘Ghostbuster’ fans has not always been an easy one.

After the critical and award-winning success of Japanese film ‘Godzilla: Minus One’, fans of the giant creature have been fairly excited to see whether or not it would see a change in the blockbuster Hollywood-led Kong/Godzilla franchise that has so far left fans with mixed emotions.
