Cape Town – Ghostbusters makes its big reveal at cinemas this weekend.
In the new all female reboot a trio of scientists team up with a subway worker to combat ghosts that creep up in New York.
Matt Damon returns as CIA agent Jason Bourne, Viggo Mortensen takes his family off the grid in a thought provoking drama, comedian Pieter-Dirk Uys take us into his life and a mockumentary that takes a swipe at local politics – there's something for everyone to see.
Here are 5 new movies releasing in South Africa today:
Movie: Ghostbusters
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Some storytelling problems aside, the new Ghostbusters is far better than anyone – least of all its misogynist haters – could ever have expected.
Movie: Jason Bourne
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: If you want action, devastation and no-bullshit skop-skiet-en-donner...well you've come to the right place.
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Captain Fantastic is about the fantasy of being able to create a perfect world for your children, and the crushing realisation that such control is ultimately impossible.
Movie: Nobody Died Laughing
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: It may occasionally miss its mark but this warm-hearted documentary about the life and work of Pieter-Dirk Uys has more than enough going for it to recommend it to fans and non-fans alike.
Movie: Wonder Boy for President
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: With election day fast approaching the brilliant political satire, Wonder Boy for President comes at the right time.
