Broken Promises 4-Ever (2018) EDIT “Though the themes explored here are universal, and standard rom-com fare, the nuances in some of the comedy, as well as bits of the language, will only be fully appreciated by those in the know.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Van Der Merwe (2017) EDIT “There's no mad-cap adventure, no lost-in-translation hilarity, no amusing misunderstandings. The farce is that there is no farce.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Despicable Me 3 (2017) 58% EDIT “The kids are going anyway. And if they bring you, the parent, along, I suggest you sit back, enjoy the old school and let them have their moment.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 30, 2017 Full Review The Mummy (2017) 15% EDIT “There is something reassuring about seeing Cruise in the rough and tumble of escapist fare.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Baywatch (2017) 18% EDIT “It is true that Baywatch probably won't be the best film you see this year, but it wasn't trying to be that in the first place. It's silly, over-the-top, cheesy on a high-cholesterol level, and deliberately so.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 2, 2017 Full Review Ghost in the Shell (2017) 43% EDIT “It melds the balletic grace of bullet-time action sequences to the cold steel and funk of a cyber-punk thriller in which the nature of man throws a spanner into the inexhaustible cogs of progress.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 31, 2017 Full Review Keeping Up With the Kandasamys (2017) EDIT “Naicker's comic timing keeps the film ticking over. You can tell she's a sweetheart, but you probably don't want to mess with her.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 3, 2017 Full Review The Great Wall (2016) 35% 3/5 EDIT “For all the hype about it being an historic collaboration between the American and Chinese film industries, it is at heart a popcorn movie, designed to keep you at the edge of your seat. In this pursuit, [director Zhang Yimou] succeeds.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Warcraft (2016) 29% 3/5 EDIT “This franchise itself is like a portal to new adventures where the action is for ever open-ended, and fresh personalities and intrigue lie in wait. So far, this video game epic is pushing the right buttons.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 10, 2016 Full Review The Angry Birds Movie (2016) 44% 3/5 EDIT “It pulls off what has hitherto seemed an impossible feat: staying true to the spirit of the video game on which it was based, and simultaneously, breathing new life into the concept.” – Independent Online (South Africa) May 13, 2016 Full Review
