Poor Things (2023) 92% 8.5/10 EDIT “If you know your movie taste well-enough to know that cerebral films are not your forté, then it is best to skip it, but if you are craving a film that will challenge yet enthrall you, then Poor Things is a must.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 68% 7.5/10 EDIT “There is a lot joy and warmth in the story, and this 2024 version really shows why the original became a classic, but also that there can be room to experimenting with a retelling of classic if there is enough consideration and care taken.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jan 19, 2024 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% 7/10 EDIT “Calle really does a commendable job, and she shines on the screen alongside Miller.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 16, 2023 Full Review Elemental (2023) 73% 5/10 EDIT “Elemental isn’t a must-watch but if you are looking for a way to occupy the kids with pretty visuals and an easy film to sit through then it is not a bad choice.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 14, 2023 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a fantastic sequel, and many who loved the first will love the second. It is original, and that is no small achievement for a sequel.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 7, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% 7/10 EDIT “The Little Mermaid is at its simplest the quintessential story of an outsider that everyone can connect with. In this modern retelling, many will walk away having fallen in love with Bailey’s Ariel, and feeling not only seen but also moved by her story.” – Independent Online (South Africa) May 24, 2023 Full Review Fast X (2023) 56% 8/10 EDIT “Fast X delivers on upping the ante with the explosions and intricate fight choreography that will leave you pumped up. Charmingly, though, where the film hooks you most is the heart and love of family.” – Independent Online (South Africa) May 19, 2023 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) 82% 8.5/10 EDIT “Ultimately, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a thoroughly enjoyable film that, while it works best for those who have followed the franchise, it does also work as a film you can watch without context.” – Independent Online (South Africa) May 12, 2023 Full Review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% 9/10 EDIT “If you are looking for a fun movie to go watch this weekend that has great action, but isn’t too violent, and contains a lot of fun, then Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is definitely a must-see.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Apr 13, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a great way to spend an afternoon at the cinema and worth the price of admission.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% 7.5/10 EDIT “Go in just expecting an enjoyable film that the family can laugh along with and you’re sure to leave fulfilled.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% 9/10 EDIT “Story elements aside, the film is movie-going experience that is worth all of the effort and money spent to watch it.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% 7.5/10 EDIT “Ryan Coogler handles the vast story and scope of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with impressive skill and pulls off a feat that a less skilled director would have left muddled.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% 5/10 EDIT “Triangle of Sadness is a hilarious and thought-provoking film, which manages to nail its satirical tone and commentary on classism, until the moment it manages to fall apart.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Nov 3, 2022 Full Review The Woman King (2022) 94% 7.5/10 EDIT “To get complex, scheming, heroic and strong black characters -- exhibiting much of what it means to be black on screen -- within the context of a historical movie is a treat.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Oct 1, 2022 Full Review Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) 34% 6.5/10 EDIT “Where the Crawdads Sing is a thought-provoking film, which could have easily just been another glossy movie without substance but instead it is an engaging tale with its intentional humanity.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Not Okay (2022) 71% EDIT “While the message of Not Okay is definitely of utmost importance and extremely relevant to today’s social media landscape, the movie ends up being not okay.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% EDIT “If you are looking for a fun movie then Bullet Train is worth a watch as it delivers interesting and unexpected action, with an outlandish plot which will entertain you for two hours.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% 7.5/10 EDIT “For those expecting a grandiose story with stakes as equal to Thor: Ragnarok, this movie will fall short, but if you go in just expecting an enjoyable film that the family can laugh along with, then this film will certainly deliver.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% 7/10 EDIT “If you are wanting a fun film that you don’t have to think too hard about, this is it.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 73% 7/10 EDIT “Director Sam Raimi delivers on taking audiences through a fun and sometimes edge-of-seat-gripping experience, while also having you feel enthralled by its scope.” – Independent Online (South Africa) May 6, 2022 Full Review Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) 87% EDIT “Downton Abbey: A New Era tells a dramatic, emotional and moving story that fans cannot afford to miss.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Apr 29, 2022 Full Review Moffie (2019) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Oliver Hermanus delivers a visually and technically stellar film, and even with its story structure, is still worth the price of admission.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Canary (2018) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There's a widely believed theory that comedians make great dramatic actors and in the case of Schalk Bezuidenhout that is proven true.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Night School (2018) 27% 3/5 EDIT “[Hart] knows his strengths, and with Night School he plays into them.” – Independent Online (South Africa) Sep 28, 2018 Full Review
