We’re back, Pitches!

The sequel to Pitch Perfect is finally here – and you can watch it with the girls before its official South African release. A-ca-believe it! Head to your nearest Ster-Kinekor cinema to catch the May ‘Girlfriends’ Getaway’ evening, which features the much-awaited screening of Pitch Perfect 2! Join the Barden Bellas as they ‘a cappella’ their way to the top as you dance and sing your way out of the cinema!

Enjoy the special pre-screening of this high-energy musical comedy on Wednesday, 06 May, from 19:00, at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas nationwide. You and your ‘besties’ can also treat yourselves by watching the movie in the luxurious Cine Prestige cinemas at Ster-Kinekor Gateway.

After its debut in 2012, Pitch Perfect became a breakout hit, grossing US$113 million worldwide at the box office. The movie also achieved success on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with “Cups”, performed by the film’s star, Anna Kendrick. Now, Kendrick has reunited with her fellow Barden Bellas — Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, and Alexis Knapp — as well as some of the Treblemakers — Skylar Astin and Adam Devine — in Pitch Perfect 2.

In Pitch Perfect 2, the collegiate ‘a cappella’ group, the Barden Bellas, are back – and they are determined to enter a worldwide competition that no American group has ever won, in order to regain their status and right to perform. After an exposure mishap with Fat Amy and the president, the Bellas are more determined than ever to prove that a ragtag bunch of American girls can ‘run the world’.

The film stars Anna Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, Skylar Astin as Jesse Swanson, Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy, Brittany Snow as Chloe Beale, Ester Dean as Cynthia-Rose Adams, Alexis Knapp as Stacie Conrad, Anna Camp as Aubrey, Hana Mae Lee as Lilly Okanakamura and Elizabeth Banks as Gail Abernathy-McKadden.

To make your evening out with the girls even more special, there will be lucky draws, hampers and goodie bags to pamper all our ‘girlfriends’.

Review: Movies @ Suncoast – Deadpool 2

Published

If you are a lover of Durban and you hear of the word ‘Suncoast’, you would automatically be thinking: Casino and Entertainment World – well, if it was only ‘Casino’… then good job!

BUT it’s not all about the casino or the restaurants… it’s also about the movies, which brings us to the point of this post where we review Deadpool 2 at Suncoast’s Cinecentre.

FUN FACT: Cinecentre is part of the Avalon Group which is South Africa’s largest and oldest independent Cinema Exhibition and Entertainment Company – they have been a pioneer of importing Bollywood movies to South Africa for over 70 years.

DEADPOOL 2: REVIEW

DP 2’s elaborate anti-marketing campaign has been simply brilliant by bashing popular pop-culture while also making fun of itself. Ryan Reynolds, who plays both DP and Juggernaut, has once again pulled out all the stops to
deliver an entertaining and hysterically funny anti-hero flick that will appeal to all DP 1 fans.

Storyline: This blockbuster brings together X-Force, Bill Skarsgard, Terry Crews and Brad Pitt (who’s out of sight), a team of misfit hero’s on a mission to save a troubled mutant boy (Russell “Rusty” Collins) from a time traveling cyborg (Cable), played by Josh Brolin, who lugs around a beast of a gun and other advanced weaponry. But it doesn’t end as you may think.

The movies ability to break down the fourth wall without skipping a beat is what makes this film special. This brilliant idea that DP knows he is a fictional character living in a comic book universe could even be expanded upon in future installments, and hopefully it will be. All DP’s literal back breaking and head splitting weirdness mixed with a kind of super consciousness of his own reality should keep all die hard comic book movie fans coming back time and again.

Expect some rib-tickling one-liners, plenty of trash talking and loads of action. DP 2 scores and solid 8 out of 10, so book your tickets now at CINECENTRE!

Suncost Casino and Entertainment World

Centrally located at the northern end of Durban‘s Golden Mile, Suncoast is always a hub of activity. Not only a great spot to visit if you are a local but for tourists to our beautiful city as well. Currently under construction, we found that parking was a mission and running across the lot in the rain not very pleasant, but this is our only negative about our Suncoast experience. On a good note, a little birdie says that part of the new building will be undercover parking – which we think is fantastic!

REVIEW: Tomb Raider at Suncoast’s Cine Centre

There’s just something so electric about going to the movies at Suncoast Casino. With all the lights and vibrant shops & restaurants, you’re immediately transported to a magical place that can only be felt in reality!

We were recently invited to experience the new Tomb Raider movie at Suncoast Casino, and boy were we in for a treat!

Arriving at Suncoast, we made our way to the food court to grab a bite before the movie. Even though there were renovations taking place, it didn’t dampen the atmosphere as Suncoast was still jam-packed full of families and couples alike.

After our quick dinner for two, we headed towards the CincCentre to finally watch the movie I had been dying to watch, Tomb Raider! As a little girl, I grew up playing the Tomb Raider games, and of course, was beyond excited to watch the all new take on the movie franchise.

We queued for our popcorn & drinks which was a breeze.
I loved how Suncoast’s CineCentre give you extra packets of popcorn spice in case you needed it later on in the movie!

After making our way to our seats, we were ready and excited for the movie to begin. Our movie was in 3D and we came prepared, with pre-purchased 3D glasses from a previous movie. So if you’re buying a pair, be sure to keep it somewhere safe for the next time!
