22 Feb 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Stephen Spielberg loves a good war drama and it shows, having directed Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Empire of the Sunand Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

08 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
In early 2011, Cape Town was buzzing with Hollywood fever as scenes for the action blockbuster Safe House were filmed across the city.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Safe House (2012)
08 Feb 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Safe House is one helluva ride! Man-on-the-run movies have always been popular. They carry the thrill of the chase, the drama of a man wrongfully accused, the natural ebb-and-flow of a road trip movie and the narrative equivalent of an ant, a magnifying glass and a hot day.

08 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Sure, Marvel dropped their ‘Avengers’ trailer during the super bowl too, but if there’s one thing Marvel likes it’s making money, and nothing makes money like overstimulated comic book movie fans.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Man on a Ledge (2012)
01 Feb 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Man on a Ledge stars Sam Worthington, whose robotic acting is best forgotten in blockbusters such as Avatar, Clash of the Titans and best remembered in Terminator: Salvation, where he was actually part cyborg. As you can imagine with any movie where the lead character wants to commit robot suicide off a high-rise building – expectations were low…

31 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’m not entirely sure I care that this is just some publicity stunt for a mediocre-to-bad “found footage” film about super heroes. This is awesome advertising. Click through to see how 20th Century Fox teamed up with Thinkmodo for their unusual viral promotion for the upcoming Chronicle.

I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is we have found the full trailer of that “Ferris Bueller 2” teaser we saw the other day. The bad news is it’s not a feature film – it’s just Honda using Matthew Broderick in a new TV commercial. It’s pretty damn good […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Skin I Live In (2011)
25 Jan 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Skin… everyone’s got one, except that guy dangling from the tree in Predator. The word has developed a stigma and a deviant curiosity in Hollywood: Mysterious Skin, Skinwalkers, ‘skin flicks’ – and it would be rash to think The Skin I Live In, a film that nabbed a spot in Quentin Tarantino’s Top Ten Films of 2011, could cure that little niggling […]

18 Jan 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo… didn’t they adapt the Millenium trilogy just two years ago? Why didn’t they cast Noomi Rapace, the ‘Girl’ from the original? Is it a faithful adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s novel? There’s an 8 minute movie trailer?

Brad Pitt Can’t Stop Laughing – Hilarious ‘Moneyball’ Outtake [VIDEO]
16 Jan 2012 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
If you haven’t seen Moneyball with Brad Pitt yet, please grow up.

Brad also continues his habit of […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Ides of March (2011)
04 Jan 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
It’s no secret, 2011 was a dismal year for Hollywood. The movie machine is running out of ideas, David Lynch has turned to music, budgets are being screwed tight and we’re getting a spill of bankable franchise sequels and unnecessary adaptations.
