Takers

If you looking for a good “skop, skiet en donner” this is a good bet, unfortunately for us though, even though it stars rapper TI (before he was arrested, imprisoned and then arrested again) and singer Chris Brown (after he was arrested), that’s all it is.

It’s got some awesome action-packed scenes, with things blowing up all over the place and lots of shooting, the cast (made up by some pretty cool characters) works really well together too. It’s definitely for a night when you feel like venting a bit and don’t mind predictable!

Charlie St. Cloud

Yes it is - it's very own singing and dancing hottie, Zac Efron! But this time, he's taking a more serious approach in Charlie St. Cloud, and honestly, I think I like him even more now!

A completely different character, Charlie (Zac) plays a high-school graduate whose life is shattered when his little brother dies. After a while, Charlie is faced with the choice between keeping a promise he made to his brother, who died in a car accident, or going after the girl he loves.

This is a must and a great night out!

Rating: 4 outta 5.

Life as We Know It

Katherine Heigl (from “Knocked Up” and “Grey’s Anatomy”) and Josh Duhamel (from “Transformers” and “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!”) play a fiery couple in this movie who, despite not being able to stand each other at first, find themselves having to look after their goddaughter Sophie after her parents -their best friends- die in a tragic accident.

The movie shows the couple going through the good, bad and rather smelly parts of parenthood whilst trying to 'get along' for Sophie's sake. Yes, it's a chick-flick, but you'll be laughing-out-loud and keeping back a tear or two all at the same time. Boys, it might not sound like one for you, but it's a light, feel good movie that we're sure even you will enjoy!

It's a 3 out of 5 for this one!

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

Think cartoons are just for kids? You'll definitely change your mind after this one!
Based the books The Guardians of Ga’Hoole by Kathryn Lasky this movie will give you something different you fall into the world of these adventurous Australian Owls. Believing in the impossible, Soren (a young barn owl), sets out to find a legendary group of warrior owls called The Guardians to save his home from an evil sect who seek to enslave all of owl-kind.

Though the story-line sounds pretty normal, we can promise that the amazing graphics and sinister scenes will have your blood pumping - also available in 3D, you will literally perched on the edge of your seat!

The Other Guys


Jammed with big time stars such as Samuel L Jackson, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Keaton and Damon Wayans, you're sure to have a hit on your hands with this flick.

Moving away from the norm of oh-so-serious cop dramas, this takes a refreshing twist as a cop spoof. It takes the age old story of good cops framed by bad cops but it is ridiculous and above all, funny. It will leave you laughing till your sides hurt, but you will be gagging for more.

We give this movie the thumbs up and rate it 4 out of 5!

The Karate Kid

This is one of those remakes that really works. Whether you've seen the original Karate Kid or not, you're going to love this version, which stars Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) and Jackie Chan.

When Dre (Jaden) is forced to move to China with his mom, he finds himself in a strange country and school, being bullied. Luckily the school janitor Mr Han (Chan) decides to save his bacon one day by showing off some serious kung-fu moves. Desperate to learn kung-fu himself, Dre convinces the old guy to teach him. Will he be able to take on the school bully in a fighting competition? You're going to have to find out!

Somehow this story has not aged and is still really good fun to watch. We loved it. Enjoy!

Resident Evil: Afterlife

If you haven't watched the three Resident Evil movies prior to this one, where have you been? The films are non-stop action with wicked effects and pit man against zombies, otherwise known as the "undead".

In this particular film, the undead have taken over the earth and few humans still exist. Alice, the heroine, must try find fellow survivors and fight for the future of the planet. Prepare yourself for some awesome action! We give this one our stamp of approval.
