SPL!NG Movie Review: Ruby Sparks
17 Oct 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
The girl of your dreams usually stays there, but what if she didn’t? What if she lived in your mind and in your house? Describing Ruby Sparks as a high concept fantasy “romcom” is an insult to the film. It’s so much more… sidestepping the temptation to distort her physical attributes, they’ve written the story […]

10 Oct 2012 by SPLING / 2 Comments
How I Spent My Summer Vacation, originally Get the Gringo, stars Mel Gibson in what has been described as an unofficial sequel to Payback. Love or hate the man, he’s still got loads of moxie and star power. He may be a washed up celebrity in real-life, but Gibson’s still a live-wire on screen and […]

Fifty Shades Of Grey Will Be A Movie Soon
09 Oct 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’d be lying if I said we didn’t see this coming. I thought it might end up being a kinky skin flick (if it isn’t already), but as it turns out, Hollywood has embraced the latest in mom-erotica. The sexy (and bondage-filled) adventures of billionaire Christian Grey and literature student Anastasia Steel are heading to the silver screen.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Dredd 3D
26 Sep 2012 by SPLING / 2 Comments
Hollywood has run out of ideas, which is why they’re starting to reboot projects that failed to reach their full potential… like Sylvester Stallone’s Judge Dredd. The idea of seeing a second attempt at this comic book hero, wrapped in a 3D bow and sporting a relatively unknown cast was about as appealing as snorting […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Searching for Sugar Man
12 Sep 2012 by SPLING / 5 Comments
Rockumentaries are usually about fame, the paranoia of money and the affects of a sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll lifestyle on the road. Searching for Sugar Man reinvents the genre with a real-life mystery about Sixto Rodriguez, a ’70s music icon, whose career was stifled and forgotten… or so it seemed. Decades after Rodriguez […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Total Recall
29 Aug 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
It’s difficult getting the balance right when you approach a remake. You need to offer the audience enough nostalgic hooks, entertainment value and enough reinterpretation to justify recycling a movie title. Unfortunately, the new Total Recall doesn’t work as a tribute, only sells eye candy and delivers a patchwork refresh to a superior film that […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Ted
22 Aug 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
This story of a talking toy and a boy is very Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin, but Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane has taken it a step further, going beyond the innocence of childhood and delivering a down-and-dirty modern twist in his feature film directorial debut, Ted.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Brave
01 Aug 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Whatever Dreamworks can do, Pixar can do better. It’s been a game of ping-pong for these major animation studios, who seem to be constantly trying to out-animate each other. In their latest battle, Brave vs. How to Train Your Dragon, it seems that Dreamworks may have just clinched it from Pixar, whose work has been slightly less than perfect of late.

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises
25 Jul 2012 by SPLING / 4 Comments
Christopher Nolan is a perfectionist, a conductor who insists that every instrument at his disposal is finely calibrated and double-checked. This means his films are always beautiful and reinforced by strong writing, powerful music and breathtaking visuals. His clinical precision could be accused of siphoning the warmth, imperfection and joy out of film, but he does tend […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man
11 Jul 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Whatever your reservations about the new Spider-Man remake, The Amazing Spider-Man delivers the goods. Sam Raimi’s version set the standard with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker in a slick CGI action fest for comic book fans. Marc Webb takes the same formula and reinterprets the story for a more psychological, dramatic take on Parker and his demons.
