Hot damn, now this is what we call mutually gratifying. Filmmaker Martin Scorsese will direct and produce an authorized HBO documentary on former US President and cigar connoisseur, Bill Clinton. Clinton (heretofore referred to as “Bubba”) has agreed to fully cooperate with Scorsese on the production — though studio execs aren’t saying whether the doccie will include details […]
Bloemfontein born author, J.R.R. Tolkien, would have been very proud of Peter Jackson if he was still with us today.

Where will you be in 30 years? More importantly, who will you be and would you really like the you you’ve become?

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.
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.
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.
The official trailer for World War Z has dropped. In a nutshell, we have an apocolypse, a stubbly Brad Pitt, zombies, and helicopter gunfire.

Copposites is a body swap crime comedy from I Now Pronounce You Black and White writer-director Oliver Rodger. It’s refreshing to see a high concept comedy from South Africa, starring local comedians Rob Van Vuuren and Siv Ngesi, with support from Nik Rabinowitz, Alfred Ntombela and Loyiso Gola. Sadly, this stellar comedy line-up is wasted […]

Emmanuelle was the movie that basically kicked off the porn industry – certainly the soft porn industry – and it starred one Sylvia Kristel. 2oceansvibe’s ties to the movie are bigger than you might be aware..
The girl of your dreams usually stays there, but what if she didn’t? What if she lived in your mind and in your house?
