 It’s the year 2036, and there is a civil war going on. Outside the Wire opens up to the U.S marines being ambushed, drone pilots giving support, and Lieutenant Harp－a black drone pilot－going against orders. We get to see how annoyed his superiors are for disobeying orders, and how he gets deployed. Netflix While the opening scene of the movie had substance, the plot became watered down as the movie progressed. It’s like they said “let’s have a great first few minutes, and then go with whatever comes to mind,” because the movie became hard to follow. It was easy to get lost in trying to understand a character, or why the character was needed in the first place. Netflix When it comes to Anthony Mackie’s role as an android－Captain Leo－a lot can be said about it. Was it the intention of the writers to make the android that way? or was it simply Anthony’s way of interpreting the role? The only semblance of a robot we got was when it was time to fight. If one missed the scenes where the...

After a few seconds, someone in a black hoodie walks through the door and grabs Cassie's hands, where they begin to have a conversation. The conversation between the both of them is inaudible, but we see the fear clearly on Cassie's face as she moves back a little, and watching closely, she missed a step and fell off the roof.

The ballet is a twist to the show that turns it away from the conventional high school teen drama. Although we still ge...

The Masire brothers. photo credit: news24.com   BY CHISOM PETER JOB. Kings of Jo’Burg is a South African TV show created by Shona Ferguson of the Ferguson Films.  It is a crime fantasy TV show about the Masire brothers－Simon Masire, played by Shona Ferguson, and Mogomotsi Masire, played by Zolisa Xaluva－who rules Johannesburg’s criminal underworld.  After Mogomotsi is released from prison, he meets Phumzi, played by Cindy Mahlangu, who helps him out by giving him a ride, and also offering him some money. In the scene, the show does well in showing the fear Phumzi has on giving a ride to a stranger who she barely knows, and the dialogue that ensued between them, before she said yes to the ride.  We also get to find out the bad relationship between Mogomotsi and his son, Tlotlo Masire, played by Tk Sebothoma.  The show mainly focuses on family, loyalty, and crime. While there is a bit of dark fantasy in it, we don’t get to see much of it, which is an aspect the sh...
