SPL!NG Movie Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
10 Aug 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
When you heard that they were releasing a prequel to Planet of the Apes you probably slapped your hand to your forehead. Not only was Tim Burton’s attempt at a reboot to the Planet of the Apes franchise a misfire, the movie title is laughable as if Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, G.I. Joe: […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Super 8 (2011)
27 Jul 2011 by SPLING / 1 Comment
Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood legend. This is the premise of Super 8, a new mystery, science-fiction thriller from writer-director J.J. Abrams that functions as a tribute to Spielberg, who’s signed on as producer. In case you haven’t heard of Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, he’s the guy that brought us Mission: Impossible III and the new […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Insidious (2011)
20 Jul 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Do you have emotional, physical or spiritual feelings of being blocked? Do you ever have sudden mood swings or changes in personality? Do you hear inner voices? Have you coughed up nails before?

SPL!NG Movie Review: Scream 4 (2011)
06 Jul 2011 by SPLING / 1 Comment
Love or hate them – horror movies have become ingrained in popular culture to the point that spine-tingling one-liners like “Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?”, “Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!”, “I see dead people.”, “It’s alive! It’s alive!” and “They’re heee-re.” have become jokes. How else do you explain another Scream sequel?

SPL!NG Movie Review: Transformers – Dark Of The Moon (2011)
29 Jun 2011 by SPLING / 4 Comments
Flight of the Conchords were right on the money when they sang Robots. The Robot, The Robo Boogie, global robo-depression, the robotic uprising of the ’90s – it’s actually scary how many parallels there are with Transformers: Dark of the Moon…

SPL!NG Movie Review: Green Lantern (2011)
22 Jun 2011 by SPLING / 1 Comment
Ryan Reynolds is a natural born superhero: athletic, dashing, honest and armed with a cheesy grin thanks to his Hollywood dentist. It’s no wonder he’s been cast as three superheroes in the last two years. He was Captain Excellent, an imaginary superhero in Paper Man, Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine…

SPL!NG Movie Review: Source Code (2011)
15 Jun 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Source Code is a Duncan Jones movie. Jones is David Bowie’s son, but judging from the critical acclaim generated from his first two movies, he’ll probably be more famous for being a director with Moon and now Source Code under his belt. If Moon was inspired by Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Source Code […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
08 Jun 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Movie trailer voice: “David Norris is about to see something no one is supposed to see. Once you know their secret you become their target. The Adjustment Bureau.” It’s tragic when a brilliant concept doesn’t measure up to its full potential. This is the case in The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt…

SPL!NG Movie Review: X-Men: First Class (2011)
01 Jun 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
So you’re a mutant… Shame. Genetic anomaly, vat of green liquid goo or ninja turtle – it’s not your fault. You could blame your genes, your father’s tight jeans, the nearest nuclear power station or your mom for dropping you on your head one too many times. Just remember you’re special. No, not “Valentine’s Day” […]

25 May 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
The much anticipated The Hangover comedy sequel, The Hangover… wait for it… Part II has finally arrived and feels so much like the first one, that the only thing that’s really changed is the location, groom-to-be and movie title.

SPL!NG Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides (2011)
18 May 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Blackbeard, Barbarossa, Captain Kidd and Davy Jones would’ve rolled in their sea graves if they’d known fictional pirates like Long John Silver, Captain Hook and Captain Jack Sparrow would become more famous than them. Well, as real as Keith Richards is… he’s no pirate – not the way we think at least! Johnny Depp’s famous […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Priest 3D (2011)
11 May 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Love or hate them, priests have always been contentious public figures. Fire and brimstone sermons, dipping into the church coffers or abusing choir boys… the stigma of being a priest almost overshadows the religious and sacred duties associated with the holy role. One film seeks to defy this… turning darkness into light and vampires into […]

27 Apr 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
What ever happened to the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”? The original Arthur is a Dudley Moore comedy classic with that hauntingly beautiful theme tune, Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross. So why spoil it by camping things up with Russell Brand?

SPL!NG Movie Review: Unknown (2011)
20 Apr 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
According to a 2008 IOL article, identity theft could be costing South African individuals and firms more than R1 billion a year. Scam artists have even begun to register assumed identities as deceased persons in order to make a claim on life insurance policies or estates. That’s what makes Unknown so fascinating and plausible, as […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Limitless (2011)
13 Apr 2011 by SPLING / 1 Comment
“What if a pill could make you rich and powerful?” is the tag line for Limitless, a film adaptation of Alan Glynn’s novel that plays with the notion that we only use part of our minds. Just like the little blue sex wonder drug, Limitless imagines the scenario if a drug could be designed to […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: No Strings Attached (2011)
30 Mar 2011 by SPLING / 2 Comments
No Strings Attached is not about puppets. It’s a film about friends with benefits or f**k buddies, a fairly new term that has developed over the last twenty years. It’s that agreed upon relational state that prioritizes sex over intimacy in a peer-to-peer network relationship. Some would say this describes how every relationship they’ve been […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Just Go With It (2011)
23 Mar 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Just Go With It is more than just a movie title, it’s advice for the audience. After 20 odd years of friendship between Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, the two stars have finally done a movie together! The delay could have due to the pair not being a natural on-screen match. On the other hand, […]

09 Mar 2011 by SPLING / 2 Comments
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? It’s Wednesday – so it must be an alien invasion. In Hollywood, alien invasions have become even more commonplace than UFO sightings. Just over the last few years, there’s been a resurgence in alien interest – spurred on by the success of movies like […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Fighter (2010)
23 Feb 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
Boxing is one of those sports that has fascinated Hollywood for ages… It’s easy to see how the blood, sweat and tears shed in the boxing ring could inspire films like Raging Bull and Rocky. Yet, the real drama happens outside the ring in preparation, training, media speculation and in betting circles.

SPL!NG Movie Review: The King’s Speech (2010)
09 Feb 2011 by SPLING / No Comments
The British royal family have had their fair share of embarrassments through the ages: Richard III’s bloody coronation, Queen Victoria’s “wicked uncles”, rumours that Prince Albert Victor was in fact Jack the Ripper, Prince Charles, his ears, Camilla Parker Bowles… the list continues. One such national embarrassment was The Duke of York, whose futile military […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Black Swan (2010)
02 Feb 2011 by SPLING / 3 Comments
Little so-called “Caucasian” girls generally tend to get involved in one of two extra-curricular activities… ballet or horse-riding. It’s a tradition, a rite of passage that soccer moms feel compelled to offer their little princesses. The reasons vary: they’ll look cute in a tutu, the riding lessons are cheaper than a pony, “I never got […]

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.
