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.
Really. I know that the internet is full of videos of cats doing interesting things or babies falling over or hilarious local news networks, but these are five minutes that will be better spent than making photocopies or getting the Jenkin’s report done or whatever it is you employed people do.
Positioning themselves as “A Porthole To The Model World” I was very impressed when I came across the Gemini Models website, when strolling through the internet the other day. Praise should certainly be given to the owner, Frieda (of Gemeni Solutions) who has not only targeted a specific niche in the market, but is absolutely nailing it too! These guys could teach the Cape Town agencies a thing or two..
With the help of modern technology, I was able to jet into the future and conduct an interview with SA celebrities, Jeannie D and Loyiso! This interview should only be for publication in 2050, but I thought I would give you a taste anyway! And my goodness, have things changed around here! It seems Jeannie […]
‘Muggle Quidditch:’ A bunch of dudes and ladies run around in capes and goggles with broomsticks between their legs while throwing balls at mounted hoops. This is an official sport, with a World Cup in November. Feel free to take a moment to weep now.
Thousands of politically-minded Kiwis have come out in protest to prevent production of the Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit, from moving out of New Zealand. I understand completely – I went through the same thing when my parents made me stop wearing my wizard outfit to school.
It has been made pretty public that Mel is not chuffed that he lost is role in The Hangover 2 to Liam Neeson. But just how many roles have the big names lost without us knowing about it?
It kills me to admit this, but I was not aware that The Hoff had covered a Madonna song! And not just ANy song – he covered La Isla Bonita – possibly one of her more hilarious tunes! The entire spectacle and magic that David Hasselhoff offers the world is so great that I doubt we will ever be able to fathom it in its entirety. Enjoy this mere drop in the ocean that is The Hoff!
Here we have Galifianakis getting interviewed by radio host Gordon Keith to promote It’s Kind Of A Funny Story – and the awkward pauses and non sequiturs should be familiar to those of you keeping up with your 2oceans assignments.
With The Hangover 2 being filmed I thought it only appropriate that we get to know a bit more about the main actor Zach Galifianakis. Meet his twin brother, Seth Galifianakis.
We love mary jane. Spider-Man loves Mary Jane. We love Spider-Man. In particular, we love Emma Stone, the angel from Zombieland and Superbad, who’ll be playing Peter Parker’s love interest in the rebooted Spider-Man film.
There are some pictures of her. You might want to keep your web shooters handy.

Steve Carell and Chris Rock's Special Auction Items Pt. 2 | ||||
|
What could be better than having Chris Rock verbally abuse your ex for breaking up with you? Nothing! Especially when he begins with, “You dirty motherf_ _ _er…”
Mel Gibson has been understandably quiet recently. Just as soon as he was announced as having a cameo in the sequel to 2009’s The Hangover, the actor has been dropped from the role because the cast and crew hate him.
Last week’s Antimov competition challenged amateur engineers to build robots that broke one of the Three Laws or Robotics – which you’d know if you’d read I, Robot (nerd) or saw that movie where Will Smith had the robot arm. No, the robot arm was not called Eva Mendez.
The End Of The Line is this year’s most vaunted environmental documentary. Brought to South Africa by Investec, the internationally-acclaimed film is a stark and uncompromising look at our systematic pillaging of our oceans, the effects of which will hit us harder and sooner than we anticipated. 2oceansvibe Radio will be chatting to the film’s producer and author of the book by the same name, Charles Clover, as well as giving away ten tickets to the film. Details after the jump.
As you may have noticed, the classic turntable and vinyl records are back! Any search on the net for Rega turntables will return rave reviews and place it in the highest order for home turntables. 2oceansvibe Radio is luckily enough to have the Rega P3 turntable in the studio (courtesy of i-fi.co.za – located in the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village) and even more amazing is the interview we have managed to secure with founder and owner, Roy Gandy. The interview will be conducted by SA Rock legend, Rupert Mellor (McCully Workshop). Oh, and YES, we will be playing some vinyl on air! Follow link for times and instructions how to tune in!
Ex-pats and poms alike should be aware that The Blonde and Baby Jesus are blessing Great Britain with their presence in just over a week. That’s right, my love, Goldfish are coming to London – and it’s gonna be a MASSIVE gig! The show is so close to being sold-out that I shifted this article forward by one week. Best you move. Click to Get Busy Living!
The three cinemas (Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town) we have managed to secure for a pre-public screening of Facebook movie, ‘The Social Network’ are 70% full so far – so if you have a blog and you want to watch the movie (with a buddy) before the general public, there is still time! Private screening will take place on 25 October! Follow the link to see how!
If you’re trying to tell me that the journo that wrote this piece was NOT aware of what he was doing, then you’re a goddamn fool. Either that, or HE is the goddamn fool for not realising. It’s not often that you can construct a headline as perfectly as that. Our local journos obsession with the worked ‘finger’ gets us going to a certain degree – but nothing like this. Urban dictionary definition of “rimjob” after the jump.
The legendary Canadian actor, Gordon Pinsent, reads us his favorite parts from musical monolith Justin Bieber’s memoirs. Bieber has a tremendous amount to say about his 16 years of experience, and we are grateful for his sharing with us.
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…
I don’t know how many of you watch X Factor (or won’t admit to watching it) but if you have been following the latest season you will be familiar with this character. If not, I give you Wagner.
You can thank me later.
Ace Ventura was groundbreaking, to say the least – the movie as a concept was fresh, but moreso was the formal introduction of Jim Carrey to the world. There were too many great moments to talk about in one article (“like a glove” and “captains log” come to mind), so for now let’s ust enjoy this famous snippet.
We have managed to secure three Ster-Kinekor cinema’s (Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town) on the 25th of October, for 40 bloggers in each region (plus 2 friends each) to see The Social Network before ANYBODY ELSE! It’s first come, first serve – so if you want to watch the movie before the general public, then keep reading!
Lyrical wordsmith, voice of a generation and gay fish, Kanye West has confirmed on Twitter that the cover art for his upcoming album has mercifully been banned. Although at least one rapper has presumably described the cover as “the greatest album artwork of all time. OF ALL TIME!”
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse shouldn’t be allowed in the same room, let alone allowed to produce comedy together. It’s just to much of genius. And what happens then is something is so funny it becomes dangerous. It puts people’s lives in danger, because it could make their heads explode. Like this video about Parking Patewayo.
We interviewed Duran Duran’s Simon Le bon on Friday afternoon live on 2oceansvibe Radio. If you missed it then not to worry – we’ve got the podcast right here for you to download. Find out what’s in store for us when they come to Cape Town. Pleas enjoy Simon’s enthusiasm about the yacht we’ve got lined up for him. Listen after the jump.
Zach sits down with Bruce Willis; one of the stars of the new movie Red, to talk about the 80s and some of the prestigious awards he has been awarded. Damn you have to love it!
If you don’t know the band by now you might need to catch a wake up. NME Magazine said this about them, “This is the best rock record of the year by such a margin that you actually feel rather embarrassed for everybody else. This isn’t over-excitement. In 2010’s final act, consider rock’n’roll saved.” the video won’t be on YouTube for the next 24 hours – JUST HERE! Watch their new video – exclusive to 2oceansvibe in SA, after the jump!
