San Andreas is the sort of film you’d expect from Roland Emmerich. It’s big, loaded with CGI, studded with stars and is completely over-the-top. It’s like 2012 meets True Lies, pitting spectacular disaster movie visual effects and Hollywood action against the charm of its stars in a gut-wrenching yet heartwarming tale of survival and redemption in adverse conditions.
Less than a minute into a speech to mark the month-to-go countdown to the start of the Olympics yesterday, Britain’s prime minister got heckled by a protester. The guy shouted: “Shame on you, David Cameron – you are crippling the poor in London. Shame on you!” Cameron’s response? “Don’t spoil it, sir!”
I am pleased to announce that Digicape is already taking orders for the new range of Macbook Pros – with retina displays. Rumours are that they will begin hitting SA retail outlets the week of the 26th (of June), so best you get moving! It won’t be long before everyone is trying to buy an […]
It’s one thing to see a professional tennis player throw or hit his racquet in a grand slam – but it’s not often you see them hitting their racquet against an advertising board and smahing it (the advertising board) to pieces. Jeepers, Novak! The final was postponed due to rain and will continue on Monday […]
Derided or not, proponents of the KONY2012 campaign have managed to make Kony famous, or at the very least a topic of conversation. And now it would seem authorities are close to capturing him as well. There are three international armies hunting him, and according to Uganda’s army chief Aronda Nyakairima, Joseph Kony is currently operating in volatile border areas between Sudan and South Sudan:
If you’ve been following the Kony 2012 movement, you’d remember they called for an April 20 world wide canvassing campaign. “Cover the Night” also hit Cape Town over the weekend and saw activists put up their share of posters around town. See all the “excitement” after the jump.
The long-awaited sequel to the Kony 2012 viral video has finally arrived, and although it’s different, it’s much of the same. Click through for the video.
These are crazy times that we live in, and crazy times call for crazy people. That is possibly why Jason Russell, the filmmaker who brought us Kony 2012, the fastest growing viral video in the world ever, has been sent to a psychiatric clinic after being spotted pounding the ground with his fists on the […]

This might turn out to be the most inspiring documentary you will watch all year. A serious campaign is underway to bring down Joseph Kony, the infamous leader of the Ugandan guerrilla group: the Lord’s Resistance Army. The LRA is responsible for an unquantifiable number of atrocities across Uganda. Human trafficking, brutal rape, and child soldier deployment are commonplace. This is KONY 2102.
If you didn’t manage to get a load of the 2012 Argus Cycle Tour Campaign Song, which was branded by an apparent majority as both “revolting” and “embarrassing,” it’s too late I’m afraid – they’ve pulled it. This may well be the first instance in South African sporting history that an official song has been […]
The Iron Lady won an Oscar for Best Makeup, but did Meryl take the Best Actress award? What’s more, did you know that one of the winners this year is the oldest person to ever win a certain Oscar? And what about The Artist? Did the silent film continue the awards success it found at […]
Obama seems to be going with the “sing when you’re winning” line of thought – first his rendition of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”, and now his 28-track long Campaign playlist has shown up on Spotify, to remind voters that he’s totally hip to the groove. Take a look to compare your tastes with the POTUS.

An event which oozes more class and genuine fun than any New Year party could […]
“Ti amiamo, Armani” means (roughly): “We love you Armani, and your timeless style – and we need you to design our tracksuits for London 2012”. That’s what Italy’s Olympic Committee has arranged for the Azzurri for the Summer Olympics next year.
