Here are 4 new movies releasing in South Africa today:
Movie: Star Trek Beyond
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: Star Trek Beyond managed to escape the curse of third instalments and presented a neatly well-developed story with solid character progression, throwbacks to classic Star Trek and the best use of a Beastie Boys song ever.
Movie: Dis Koue Kos, Skat
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: Dis Koue Kos, Skat shines thanks to its attention to detail, mouth-watering dishes, beautiful cinematography, A-list cast and world-class direction.
Movie: The Shallows
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Blake Lively sinks but the great white shark in The Shallows will definitely have you second guessing your next surf.
Movie: Nine Lives
Our rating: 1/5
Short review: If you need to keep your child busy for two hours then by all means take them to watch this but otherwise wait to use it as that Sunday afternoon nap distraction.
