South African cinema release dates

This release date schedule doesn't cover every film... just what are high profile enough to have piqued my interest, and may also be of interest to you.

Today (30 March):
300 - Ancient Greek epic based on Frank Miller's award-winning graphic novel.

Mr Bean's Holiday - You know this slapstick comedy will clean up at the box office thanks to South Africans' puerile taste in movies.

5 April 2007
Ghost Rider - The latest Marvel comic adaptation, starring Nicholas Cage as the flaming skull headed biker. Bad reviews but apparently audiences like it.

13 April 2007
Meet The Robinsons - The newest Disney 3D animated movie, with a Jetsons style look at the future.

20 April 2007
Hannibal Rising - How cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter got started... Based on Thomas Harris's novel. Sans Anthony Hopkins.

Sunshine - Danny Boyle's sci-fi movie. Expect claustrophobia and paranoia. From the director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later.

Hot Fuzz - The latest Brit comedy from the same team who brought you Shaun of the Dead. Think gung-ho cops and small town murder mysteries.

On a totally unrelated note, you can probably expect a new Girlz 'N' Games comic strip on Monday... Think 300!
