Cape Town – A gripping true life drama, a psychotic stalker, a four-legged hero and a South African surfer flick, there’s something for everyone to see at the cinema this week.
Channel24 Movies keeps you updated with the latest movie offerings on the big screen with this handy flick guide.
Here are 5 new movies showing in South Africa:
Movie: Everest
Our rating: 3/5 stars
Short review: Everest is gripping and moving (take tissues) and beautifully filmed. It has a stellar cast who give their all. But the real star is Everest. The mountain people climb “because it’s there”.
Movie: We Are Your Friends
Our rating: 3/5 stars
Short review: Now, no one in their right mind would consider this film any sort of masterpiece – especially as it pretty consistently reminds you of far better films – but it is a surprisingly effective and affecting little indie-style (though, crucially, in light of its box office failure, not actually indie) drama.
Our rating: 2/5 stars
Short review: With such a great cast it is a real shame that the script let them down. Don’t let the perfect looking cast fool you, The Perfect Guy is far from perfect.
Movie: Max
Our rating: 3/5 stars
Short review: It’s hard to resist this story about family, friendship and loyalty. It will tug on the heartstrings (as intended) and make you want to go out and adopt a puppy.
Movie: Die Pro
Our rating: 3/5 stars
Short review: Die Pro is a fun, sun-soaked, sexy local flick that any young aspiring surfer will absolutely love.
