Movies - TV - Gaming - Pop Culture
It’s been a busy few weeks for movies and TV. A lot of shows have come back for new seasons, and a few great movies have made their cinema debuts. I didn’t get the chance to review everything, but now is as good a time as any to do that.
I always look forward to the kykNET Silwerskermfees, but this year’s festival might be the most unforgettable.
Whenever I get to watch a new Afrikaans film, I’m over the moon. The Silwerskermfees is one of the few places where you get to watch the films and then chat with the talent about their work.
It's almost that time of year again.
Comic Con Africa is returning to the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec from 24 to 27 September 2026, and if you're anything like me, the excitement is already starting to build. Every year, the event gets bigger, bringing together thousands of fans for four days of gaming, movies, TV shows, cosplay, collectibles, comics and everything in between.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially become the biggest opening weekend in South African box office history.
July had two of the biggest and three of my favourite movies of the year so far, so how will August match up to this?
The Road Home will feature John Legend as Harry Belafonte in the film about South African musician Hugh Maskela.
I can, without a doubt, say that this is now officially my favourite Spider-Man movie of all time, because this is his story. It’s more about the man with the mask than the man under the mask, but I do feel like we get to see the best version of Peter Parker yet. I absolutely adore this film, and while there’s a lot to praise, there is one thing that bothered me, but I’ll get to that.
A new South African story is heading to the big screen, and we’ve now got our first look at The Road Home, the upcoming film about legendary South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has proven to be a massive draw for moviegoers, breaking various records worldwide and in South Africa.
I trust Christopher Nolan’s vision as a filmmaker, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. The Odyssey isn’t just another movie I think you should watch in the cinema; it’s a film you should experience in IMAX.
