Green Zone is just another better-than-average Iraq war film in the company of Body of Lies, Traitor and The Kingdom. We’ve seen the covert missions, the terrorist agendas and the corrupt officials before and it’s getting a little old now… The film’s main selling point is that it comes straight from the tag team that […]
As most of you will know, I have a US iTunes account. So imagine my excitement when I was cruising around the iTunes Store the other day and saw this: What’s that at Number 7? GOLDFISH – FORT KNOX I know… PLUTZ! I immediately bought the song, even though I already had it. I just […]
Pure genius comes in many shapes and sizes – a lot of which we publish on these pages. Take this, for example: A FORMER Tasmanian comedian is doing for the island state what rapper Jay-Z did for New York. His tongue-in-cheek “tribute song” has become an internet hit. Dan Taylor, originally from Burnie, released Island […]
These little Jobs/Gates filmstrips are doing the rounds. They’re good. I like that. I like it a lot. You know when I refer to “quality humour.” Ja, well, that is quality humour. There are TONS more. Follow the jump to check ’em out.
Marriott Machinery has it core business in buying, restoring and reselling used machines. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy! Derek Marriott and a few of his *cough* staff took us on a guided tour of their plant. Oh, it’s in Epping, Cape Town (no spice). I tell you what, if I was ever […]
Ahhh… 1986, Reagan was still President, Maradona scored the “Goal of the Century” in the FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Chernobyl was still doing plant tours, Mike Tyson won his first world boxing title, Lady Gaga said “ga-ga” for the first time, Voyager 2 had its first encounter with Uranus and Michael J. Fox manned […]
Besides being at the age where his main desire should be trying to play online bingo for free, KISS bassist and all round grand daddy of rock, Gene Simmons, was recently accused of dry-humping an ESPN make-up artist, as some of you may have heard. After said make-up artist demanded $185 000 from Gene for […]
John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe We found a webpage out there with a whole stack of rare celebrity photographs, including the one above, showin JFK and Marilyn snuggling together in the floor. As they do. Here another awesome pic – this time of Sean Connery holding Brigitte Bardot in a head lock!
You know when you’re watching a movie and you see this guy? Bob Gunton is “That Guy” (awesome fist action, by the way) That’s when my ex-digs mate, Mark Pfuhl (The Fabrics Guy), would say to me, “Hey Seth, there’s that guy again!” And then I would say to Mark, “Yes Mark, his name is […]
If any of you out there were contemplating suicide, perhaps this will give you reason to live. YouTube clips like this really do make life worth living. Although it’s so funny you may well die from laughter. Someone made the mistake of hiring “Stardust Entertainment” for their wedding, which resulted in this guy doing their […]

We’ve kept a close eye on Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen’s two main yachts over the years – both of which have spent time in Cape Town. The first one I ever saw, cruised into Cape Town late August, 2007 (see original article here). It was a good one to see first, as it was, at […]

With the Cannes Film Festival carrying on just down the road from where I am, I thought I would give you some images from the days when people were infinitely cooler than we will ever be. I got these from the LIFE website – check it out: Bardot on the Beach French actress Brigitte Bardot […]
Apparently, any film starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott can’t go wrong. Having collaborated on Gladiator, A Good Year, American Gangster and Body of Lies, it’s safe to say they’ve got a winning formula. The film rides on the back of almost a century of Robin Hoods ranging from Robin Hood (1912) to […]
So the Stormers are playing the Blue Bulls this weekend at Newlands. It’s all rather exciting and I have no doubt that our boys will take the crown – it’s just a matter of you putting off the positive energy they require to do it! So about a week ago this photograph arrives in my […]
Growing up as a sex icon was never easy and I was trained by my various minders and advisors, to deal with things like this. One of the best tactics is just to remain silent, which normally results in rumours and speculation fading away. This is something I have been trying to do with these […]

It’s been a good 8 years since Mel Gibson had to have that chat with the top half of his wife in Signs. Since then he’s been spotted in Papparazzi, The Singing Detective and a TV series called Complete Savages. Speaking of savages, he’s also directed two blood-thirsty yet critically-acclaimed films in The Passion of […]
Werner Hertzog , the critically acclaimed German film director, who recently gave us Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (featuring my good friend Nic Cage), has a very distinct German accent, tone and reading style. And what better way for us to discuss the concept of “Where’s Waldo.” I strongly urge you to sit […]
Yeah, thanks for asking. Look, I’ll be honest, things are going pretty well. I basically made the first move with the “piece” I wrote the other day about SkyNews anchor, Mark Longhurst, and the terribly awkward crush he has on SkyNews presenter, Charlotte Hawkins. You can read up on that here. Naturally the story was […]

Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool. But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems.. The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack […]

Well it really is all the rage now, isn’t it? Models without Photoshop and now models without makeup. In five years from now the big brands will be bowing down again to further pressure and will be using the ugliest girls they can find. You know, to show how “real” they are. Not that I […]
We’ve covered the Swedish royals on the pages of 2oceansvibe before. You will recall the heartwarming story of Princess Victoria who took a shining to her fitness trainer and went on to marry him. Not exactly what King Carl and Queen Silvia had in mind, but hey, you can teach him to use a knife […]
