SPL!NG Movie Review: Love and Other Drugs (2010)
26 Jan 2011 by SPLING / 2 Comments
Anne Hathaway is a lady. One of those well-to-do women, who lifts her pinkie when she drinks tea and waves like the Queen. She’s fit for royalty, blessed with great beauty, intelligence and a coy smile. So it was quite something when she just whipped out a boob in Love and Other Drugs.

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Next Three Days (2010)
19 Jan 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Breaking out of prison is never easy, unless you’re one of the Beagle boys or a young Sean Connery. It’s a meticulous process of timing, planning, training, testing and presence of mind as demonstrated by Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption and Wentworth Miller in Prison Break. But there’s another way… A more sensible blueprint for setting your loved one free as witnessed in The Next Three Days.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Easy A (2010)
12 Jan 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Temptress, tart, floozy, flirt, cheap, tramp, harlot, trollop, easy, ho’… are just some of the endearing terms you’ll hear being thrown around the playground these days. Pubescent promiscuity is nothing new – think back to that adult movie Kids or a little further back to Sodom and Gomorrah.

SPL!NG Movie Review: TRON – Legacy (2010)
05 Jan 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Digital drones, light cycles, frisbee wars, skin tight body suits and daddy issues… welcome to the playground of TRON. It may sound like an ordinary day at the park, but it’s not. TRON: Legacy is the long-awaited remake/sequel/mash-up of the original TRON (1982). Jeff Bridges returns to play an older Kevin Flynn and a much […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Town (2010)
29 Dec 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Since Hollywoodland, he’s been on the comeback trail. Although, it’s not that difficult when you’re following up roles as a blind superhero in Daredevil and Jennifer Lopez’s play thing in Gigli. This is the life of Ben Affleck, whose career has been peppered with the good, the bad and the ugly.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Due Date (2010)
22 Dec 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Due Date is delivered to screen by Todd Phillips, who is the quintessential frat house comedy director with The Hangover, Road Trip, Old School under his belt and The Hangover Part II in the works. If it were a baby, it’d be a poison dwarf: ginger-bearded, brutally funny and pretty darn mean. However, it’s not […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Megamind (2010)
15 Dec 2010 by SPLING / 2 Comments
It seems that if you’re blue, you’re in vogue… well that’s if pop culture in 2010 is anything to go by with James Cameron’s Na’vi tribesmen in Avatar, The Smurfs feature film and now our giant blue-headed villain in Megamind. Perhaps Andy Warhol was really onto something with his colour transition duplications of Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne’s heads when he coloured […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)
08 Dec 2010 by SPLING / 2 Comments
Scott Pilgrim vs The World is brought to us by the guy that gave us Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. His name is Edgar Wright, whose dark British comedy films have become cult hits with the help of partner-in-crime, Simon Pegg. However, Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a departure from his usual […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Spud (2010)
01 Dec 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
John Van De Ruit’s character, John Spud Milton has become the South African equivalent of Sue Townsend’s Adrian Mole. Both characters are at that age when puberty is starting to kick in, physical changes are bound to create some form of clumsy embarrassment and life is only really beginning…

SPL!NG Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)
24 Nov 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
It’s old news, but “the magical kid with glasses” has become an international phenomenon. Remember when HP used to be a sauce and Indiana Jones was the only character worthy of a “character name and adventure” movie title?

SPL!NG Movie Review: RED (2010)
17 Nov 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Stallone surprised us when he resurrected Rocky with Rocky Balboa, stunned us when he tied the red hair band on for John Rambo and nearly killed himself trying to make The Expendables. Broken neck aside… Stallone pulled it off – he made us believe…

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Bad Lieutenant (2010)
10 Nov 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
A quick note from Spling: “I walked into the cinema without any preconceived bias… armed with only TWO facts: the film was called The Bad Lieutenant and starred Nicolas Cage. I’d like to preface this movie review by saying that I am a big fan of Nicolas Cage as an indie and commercial actor and […]

The Social Network is a timely story about the founders of Facebook and their legal disputes on the back of unprecedented viral Internet growth and accidental billionaires. Whatever your take on the social online platform, The Social Network movie seems to have everyone hitting ‘Like’…

SPL!NG Movie Review: Piranha 3D (2010)
27 Oct 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Piranha 3D is best described as a blend of Jaws, Girls Gone Wild and Joe’s Apartment and falls into the so-bad-it’s-almost-good category of films. Now depending on your taste in film that could be a fantastic or horrible combination, because there’s no fence-sitting on this one – you’ll either love or hate it.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Machete (2010)
20 Oct 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
Grindhouse, a double bill featuring Deathproof and Planet Terror, was created as a tribute to the lost genre of exploitation films as made famous by single screen theatres across America in the ’70s. Sleaze, porn, slashers and martial arts flicks were the rage back then and this was the era that directors like…

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Switch (2010)
13 Oct 2010 by SPLING / No Comments
The Switch is not what you’re expecting. Whenever someone starts sloshing a cup of sperm around, everyone immediately flashes back to There’s Something About Mary with Ben Stiller’s vanishing sperm act and Cameron Diaz’s extra strength “hair gel”. Yes, there is a masturbation scene… and no, you don’t get to see Jason Bateman yanking the […]
