SPL!NG Movie Review: The Book of Eli (2010)
24 Feb 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
I know I’m stating the obvious here, but Denzel Washington is not Mr. T. They act, dress and talk differently… Mr. T carries that Mad Max era cool like someone before their time and while he’s been off the Hollywood scene beating Cancer and endorsing cooking gadgets in an apron, this could have been his […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Crazy Heart (2009)
17 Feb 2010 by SPLING / 1 Comment
I’m a big fan of ‘The Dude’… you know, Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. What, you haven’t seen it?! It’s a cornerstone of modern cinema, one of the top scoring f-bombers with ‘cult classic’ written all over it – available at all old school video stores! Anyways… ‘The Dude’ is now more like ‘The […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Wolfman (2010)
10 Feb 2010 by SPLING / 2 Comments
If you’ve ever gone camping without a razor, you’ll know exactly how scary you start to look after a few days without shaving. From 5 ‘o clock shadow it’s only a few hours before midnight and if you add a full moon to the picture… your friends will start wishing they’d bought the more expensive […]

SPL!NG Movie Preview: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009)
03 Feb 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
A traveling carnival sideshow “family” and their supernatural mirror gateway to one’s own imagination is put in jeopardy after they rescue a wanted criminal and go head-to-head in a soul-grabbing game with the Devil incarnate. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus… intriguing ‘yes’, based on a true story ‘no’! In fact, what Terry Gilliam film isn’t […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Up in the Air (2009)
27 Jan 2010 by SPLING / 3 Comments
Have you ever been fired or had to fire someone? Unless you’re Donald “You’re Fired!” Trump it’s never nice. In fact, the only time it’s considered to have gone well by American standards is if no one died. We think we’re defined by our jobs. These days, it’s the first bland thing anyone ever asks […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Expired (2007)
20 Jan 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Unlike most city parking meters, Expired hasn’t… The film is about parking enforcement officers (to some “boetabessies”)… you know, the people that stick pretty pink tickets on your windscreen. It may look all sweet and innocent like Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, but don’t be fooled… it’s an indie film in the league of Punch […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Tyson (2009)
13 Jan 2010 by SPLING / 2 Comments
With such memorable quotes as “I’m gonna f**k you till you love me”, I can’t think of anyone in their right minds who’d want to trade places with Mike Tyson. The man has carved a little piece of Hell for himself over the last four decades… from his childhood days of petty crime in Brownsville […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: A Perfect Getaway (2009)
06 Jan 2010 by SPLING / 3 Comments
I watch pretty much anything with Milla Jovovich (there I said it!) and I had high hopes for A Perfect Getaway. After first watching her as Lilli in Return to Blue Lagoon, she went on to star in cult trip, Dazed and Confused and then The Fifth Element as Leeloo – I was hooked – […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Waltz with Bashir (2008)
30 Dec 2009 by SPLING / No Comments
Waltz with Bashir is extraordinary in terms of its originality and representation of war… An animated biographical war documentary drama takes an Israeli director on a journey to reconstruct and clarify the events of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon from the accounts of fellow veterans. And no, it’s nothing like Team America: World Police. The […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)
23 Dec 2009 by SPLING / No Comments
What comes to mind when you hear the name Sherlock Holmes? The character has been around since the late 1800s when Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle conjured up a gentleman, who could draw big conclusions from small details. A London-based detective, whose sharp intellect and keen eye could keep him in-the-know, without having to rely on any […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Avatar (2009)
16 Dec 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
Avatar is the space between dreams and reality, fantasy and science fiction, “Cowboys and Indians”… I think you get the picture. Simply put… James Cameron’s latest film since Titanic is a dazzling spectacle of computer-generated photographic imagery and vivid contrasting themes. It’s basically like G.I. Joe vs. Thundercats (with a touch of Smurfs)… I mean […]

Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Invictus (2009)
09 Dec 2009 by SPLING / 1 Comment
Invictus attempts to capture the Zeitgeist of the New South Africa in its infancy and watching this film gives us some idea of just how far we’ve come as a nation… I mean, we’ve got a new flag and cop cars aren’t yellow anymore!? Invictus is based on the real-life glory story that has made […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: 2012 (2009)
02 Dec 2009 by SPLING / 4 Comments
Just when you thought 2010 was the year, undisputed “Master of Disaster”, Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) brings us 2012, a doomsday, apocalypse, cataclysm, “it’s the end of the world as we know it”, catastrophe of a film to rival The Day After Tomorrow… another “SimEarth” Emmerich blockbuster. Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanoes, parking tickets, 2012 is […]

SHARLTO COPLEY’S A-TEAM BIRTHDAY CAKE
01 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It’s true what they say – “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I remember as a kid, dreaming of beautiful women pouring expensive champagne all over my body as I lay on expensive yachts with oysters being dropped into my mouth by incredibly well-tanned dwarves. And now, it has turned into reality. […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: New Moon (2009)
25 Nov 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
The Twilight Saga: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer is the latest victim to have been put through the Hollywood sausage machine like that magical kid with John Lennon style glasses and a jet-powered broomstick. I used to associate ‘twilight’ with that time of day when the light diffuses in the sky just before dawn or […]

NAZI U-BOAT SPOTTED OFF SEA POINT – ARE WE UNDER ATTACK?
24 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
There was great concern as to the reason behind the Nazi flags flying at the University of Cape Town this weekend. Many speculated that they were hoisted for some movie being shot in and around the Mother City. Not a bad reason – certainly better than the suggestion of there being a Nazi convention being […]

Movie Review: Zombieland (2009)
18 Nov 2009 by SPLING / 5 Comments
Zombieland is a rough place to grow old in alright – especially if you don’t know the fundamental rules of survival. Sure, you know how to do CPR, but in the event of a zombie apocalypse, you’d be wise to at least skim through the most important ones… that is, if don’t want to lose […]

Movie Review: Hardwired (2009)
11 Nov 2009 by SPLING / No Comments
Hardwired was the working title for I, Robot… a man-on-the-run Sci-Fi about the evolution of robot-kind starring Will Smith. It also happens to be the title for a man-on-the-run Sci-Fi about the evolution of corporate advertising starring Cuba Gooding Jr, but “Hairbrained” seems more fitting in retrospect as the film is plagued by a number […]

Movie Review: This Is It (2009)
04 Nov 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
This Is It is a special tribute to Michael Jackson, the undisputed King of Pop, which was originally intended to be screened for 2 weeks after its world premiere last week. However, the This Is It “show” has been extended by another two weeks in countries like South Africa to give everyone (like you) a […]

Movie Review: Trick ‘r Treat (2009)
28 Oct 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
It’s Halloween again, which means you’ll either be scaring up a tacky fancy dress costume for a party or guarding your front door against a small militant wing of kids, who think they’re entitled to some of your hard-earned candy. I thought they were supposed to avoid strangers with candy!? Well, if it’s the one […]

Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds (2009)
21 Oct 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, Inglourious Basterds (yes, that’s how you spell it) is about to hit South African shores like D-Day this Friday. Brad Pitt appears to be the star and headlines a cast including: Christoph Waltz, Diane Kruger, Julie Dreyfuss, Melanie Laurent, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger with a siff cameo from Mike Myers (think […]

Movie Review: Jennifer’s Body (2009)
14 Oct 2009 by SPLING / 4 Comments
Every now and then a movie comes along that blows our minds… Jennifer’s Body is not that movie. It blows alright… but not in a good way. The creators of Juno must have been high on Oscar fever (or cocaine) when they decided to make Jennifer’s Body. Imagine the setting in the creator’s board room or […]

BIFF’S “QUESTION SONG”
13 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Now when I say “Biff” I’m not talking about Graeme Smith, but rather the guy from Back To The Future. The guy who used to pick on Michael J Fox’s character, Marty McFly. His real name is Thomas F. Wilson and he played the character, Biff Tannen. I’ve arranged a visual clue for you: Biff […]

Movie Review: The Ugly Truth (2009)
07 Oct 2009 by SPLING / 3 Comments
Ah The Ugly Truth… women fall head over heels and men fall for women that wear nothing but heels. The whole intergalactic “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” game of cat-and-mouse has been discussed at length and there just doesn’t seem to be a light (or even a candle-lit dinner) at the end of […]

Movie Review: The Boat That Rocked (2009)
30 Sep 2009 by SPLING / 6 Comments
Austin Powers and Dr. Evil are the same person, Mike Myers. No, not the psychotic serial killer from Halloween that just won’t die, the guy from Wayne’s World… Wayne. (GET ON WITH IT!) Yes… quite, well The Boat That Rocked is British – you may think it’s American, but it’s not – it hasn’t even been released there […]

Movie Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)
23 Sep 2009 by SPLING / 6 Comments
Remember how our parentals tried to force-feed us as children… “Here comes the aeroplane”, “If you eat the crust you’ll get a deep voice” and “Don’t make me come down there!”. Okay, maybe the last one was only for special occasions, but that’s what watching The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is like, except […]

MEGAN FOX IS “AS DUMB AS A ROCK” AND “CLASSLESS”
22 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Megan Fox has punished herself by referring to her Transformers director as a Napoleon and Hitler type. But there’s no surprise there, we’ve always known that Megas doesn’t pack a full one. The big result here was an open letter from director Michael Bay’s crew who got deep into it. Megan Fox The way […]

Movie Review: Observe and Report (2009)
16 Sep 2009 by SPLING / 2 Comments
The thin line between love and hate isn’t as thin as we once thought… and it’s blue, thanks to middling mall cop movies like Paul Blart: Mall Cop with Kevin James and more recently Observe and Report with Seth Rogen. The film has generated some mixed responses with one rendition of this movie poster’s subtitle […]

WIKUS VAN DE MERWE MIGHT PLAY “HOWLING MAD” MURDOCK IN A-TEAM MOVIE
16 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 9 Comments
I am still ASTOUNDED when I ask people if they’ve watched District 9 and they reply in the negative. “Is it good?” they ask. Is it good? IS IT GOOD? Heh….umm did you miss the fact that it’s virtually 100% South African and it’s one of the best selling movies on the planet at the […]
