Cape Town – Denzel Washington leads seven gunslingers in the remake of a Western classic, Edina and Patsy take their absolutely fabulous TV show to the big screen and a brother goes in search of his sister who disappeared in the woods – there's something for everyone to see.
Here are 3 new movies releasing in South Africa today:
Movie: The Magnificent Seven
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: Fresher and more timeless than it has any right to be, The Magnificent Seven remake is easily one of the most purely enjoyable blockbusters of the year.
Movie: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: The raunchy comedy might have been a hit on the TV screens, but it didn’t hold up to even Patsy’s hair on the big screen.
Movie: Blair Witch
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Blair Witch borrows most of the skeleton of the original 1999 film but ups the scariness at the cost of coherency, with director Adam Wingard straying from the found-footage conceit.
