Since moving to New York a year ago I’ve been stopped several times by people telling me that I look like Matt Damon. Matt Damon? Are you on crack?

‘Searching For Sugar Man’ won the audience and grand prize awards for documentary at Sundance this year. That’s pretty damn awesome for a South African inspired film. Narrated by Cape town’s very own Stephen ‘Sugar’ Segerman (Mabu Vinyl) I can guarantee you this thing is going to EXPLODE. Synopsis: Aspiring ’70s folk rock musician Rodriguez […]

Last year, James Cameron called on filmmakers to start shooting film at 48 frames per second – twice the industry standard, and twice as smooth, visually. Peter Jackson was the first to respond, shooting The Hobbit at 48fps. And, according to people who saw a 10-minute preview at CinemaCon this year, it looks like a made-for-TV BBC movie.

I am heading off to London on Thursday to interview Daniel Craig about his new movie, the American adaptation of the Swedish hit film with the same name.

50 Cent has joined the cast of Odd Thomas, an adaptation of Dean Koontz’ novel, which I don’t really care about. What I do care about is the fact that 50 Cent is playing a blind DJ called Shamus Cocobolo, who will help Anton Yelchin’s “clairvoyant short-order cook” uncover a Satanic plot. No spice.
German actress Antje Traue has been cast as ‘Faora,’ villainous accomplice to the no-less-ridiculous-sounding Zod in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot. Since we’re now assured at least one slow-motion high-definition Traue scene, the reboot might be worth looking at, Snyder notwithstanding.

Overeager merchandising at Amazon led to the spoiling of Transformer 3: The Dark of the Moon’s plot, which everybody is just devastated about. What’s that? You don’t watch it ‘for the story’? Oh. Well it’s in space, apparently…
