Wildwood – Review

Wildwood is the kind of movie that leaves a memorable mark. To me, it’s like a combination of the movies I grew up with and the ones I’ve grown to love.

In Cinemas this September

I think you should prepare yourself to spend a lot of time at the cinema this September, there are no less than 18 major releases.

I’m surprised by the high number of films that will be released in cinemas this month. I think it might be the most released in a single month this year.

An Unforgettable Festival and Award Show

The 14th kykNET Silwerskerm Festival and Award Show is one for the history books.

The festival not only showcased some remarkable short films, but we were also transported to new worlds through some amazing feature films. It’s more than just a showcase of film and TV, it’s an event that celebrates the filmmakers of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

One Month to Comic Con Africa

Can you hear the clock ticking? Comic Con Africa 2026 is almost here!

There is now just one month to go until Comic Con Africa with Capitec takes over the Johannesburg, and the guest list is one of the biggest yet.

The Movie Guy Is Going to Comic Con Africa.

There are some events that I look forward to more than others, and Comic Con Africa tops the list.

After covering Comic Con Cape Town earlier this year, I'm now getting ready to head to Johannesburg for Comic Con Africa from 24 to 27 September. I don't just want to go to Comic Con; I want to bring Comic Con to you.

A Lot Going On

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.

Countdown to Comic Con Africa Starts Now

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 – Review

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.

The Odyssey – Review

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.

In Cinemas This July

This month is supposed to be the busiest month for cinemas everywhere because it’s summer blockbuster month in the Northern Hemisphere. Here’s what you can catch in theatres this month.

Who knew cleaning was relaxing?

I didn’t know I liked cleaning stuff until I started playing this game, and now all of a sudden I’m a neat freak. PowerWash Simulator isn’t just about cleaning, it’s about reaching goals that are actually obtainable. The game never gets overwhelming, although it can get really addictive.

Are They Really the Masters of the Universe?

I honestly really enjoyed Masters of the Universe. I think it’s the perfect mixture of a modern blockbuster and some 80s flair. It feels like something straight out of a cartoon, while still managing to feel larger than life at times. It balances the campiness with some really cool action set pieces.

It’s Been a While

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, something that usually just gets brushed off. I think talking about it, especially in entertainment spaces, is really important. You never know when someone is listening or reading. It’s been a while since I’ve touched on this subject.

My First Film Festival

In 2021 and 2023 I shot and published two short films on YouTube. Both films never got a big release, but next week I finally get to showcase them at The Film Week by the Namibian Film Commission in Windhoek.

My Hopes for the Year

When 2026 started, I decided not to make any New Year’s resolutions or to set any goals yet, but that doesn’t mean I will stop working towards the things I truly want to achieve.

That’s Christmas to me

The one thing I’ve been looking forward to all year was Christmas movies, and now it’s finally time to sit back and watch or rewatch a few.

Halloween on Disney+

Halloween has returned, and Disney+ and Hulu have a spellbinding selection of new and classic programming, all under one haunted roof with Huluween on Disney+.

A Horror A Day

Halloween is on a Friday, so you can probably binge-watch a few movies. These are the six 2025 horror movies that I suggest you watch.

Do You Like the Movies?

Ever walked out of a cinema thinking, "That movie was great, but I wish it wasn't that expensive"? Or maybe you’ve had a less-than-stellar experience and thought, “They need to fix that!” Well, here’s your chance to make your voice heard.

Counting Down to Comic Con Africa

This year’s con is bigger than ever, with family-friendly fun, world-class artists, epic gaming showdowns, cosplay competitions, and even a brand-new Book Nook for readers and writers. There’s something for everyone — and I can’t wait to share it all with you.

Superman – Review

Superman has always been a character that’s supposed to inspire hope, and I’m happy to say I feel hopeful after watching David Corenswet.
