SPL!NG Movie Review: The Hobbit – An Unexpected Journey
12 Dec 2012 by SPLING / 2 Comments
Bloemfontein born author, J.R.R. Tolkien, would have been very proud of Peter Jackson if he was still with us today.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Skyfall
28 Nov 2012 by SPLING / 4 Comments
Skyfall is the third James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, an actor who has successfully managed to keep himself detached from his Bond status in Hollywood. This can be attributed to his mission, which has seen him play 007 in every anti-Bond formula film since Casino Royale.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Jeff, Who Lives at Home
21 Nov 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Jeff, Who Lives at Home is a slacker comedy with a difference. Our hero is on a journey, the kind that we sometimes mistake for everyday life, in which he lets his destiny simply unfold as a series of interconnected signs, after his mom tells him to get something from the shop.

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Cold Light of Day
14 Nov 2012 by SPLING / 2 Comments
The Cold Light of Day is as inane as its title. It’s cold – thanks to a wishy-washy script and wooden performances; it’s light on intrigue and intelligence – two pillars of great espionage films; and ironically most of the action sequences happen at night.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Cloud Atlas
07 Nov 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
The Wachowski Bros. brought us The Matrix, a film that redefined action sequences and challenged audiences to wrap their minds around a nightmarish vision of the future, now. The sci-fi actioner was revolutionary and set in motion a multi-million dollar franchise and a trilogy with diminishing returns.

SPL!NG Movie Review: How I Spent My Summer Vacation
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 […]

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.
