Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2

Posted on by

I attended the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” last week, courtesy of Disney Studios Africa.

Two decades later, the heels are higher, the comebacks are sharper, and the fashion world is still as cutthroat as ever,  but this time, it comes with a layer of introspection we didn’t quite expect.


The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn’t just revisit a cultural moment, it redefines it for where we are now. And as someone who remembers the original shaping my own views on ambition, career, and identity, this one felt a lot more personal.


The film picks up in a world that has dramatically shifted, digital disruption, influencer culture, and the slow death of traditional print media all form the backdrop. And right at the centre of it all is the still-formidable Miranda Priestly. But this time, there’s a quiet tension beneath her perfectly tailored exterior. The industry she once ruled without question is evolving, and for the first time, you sense that even she might have to adapt.

Michael Movie Review

Posted on by

“Michael” is an intense cinematic ride and perfectly captures the King of Pop’s life from 1966 to 1988.

Watching it on the newly opened largest IMAX screen in Gauteng at The Zone @ Rosebank made the experience even more unforgettable. The visuals, the sound, and the overall atmosphere elevated every moment on screen.

This film pulls you in with powerful storytelling, strong performances, especially from Jaafar Jackson as Michael, and emotional moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. It’s bold, gripping, and beautifully shot, with a soundtrack that adds even more depth to the experience.

For me, Michael Jackson was such an integral part of my teens and tweens. His music, his energy, and his larger-than-life presence shaped so many memories from that time. Watching this film felt nostalgic, emotional, and a reminder of just how much of an impact he had on an entire generation.

“Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” Movie Premiere

Posted on by

Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight, the highly anticipated feature film based on Alexandra Fuller’s best-selling memoir, will have its official South African premiere on 25 July 2025.

Directed and adapted for screen by Embeth Davidtz, the film marks a rare and powerful cinematic portrayal of Zimbabwe’s transition from colonial rule to independence through the eyes of a child.

Shot in South Africa , the film brings to life 8-year-old Bobo’s coming-of-age amidst the final days of the Rhodesian Bush War.

Played by newcomer Lexi Venter, Bobo is a white child growing up on a farm in Zimbabwe, grappling with grief, fractured family life, and the racial dynamics of a world at war. The film’s raw emotion and nuanced storytelling offer an African narrative told from within, with complexity, empathy, and historical depth.

With a powerful local cast including Zikhona Bali, Fumani N Shilubana, and Rob Van Vuuren, and supported by a seasoned creative team, the film is both global in its reach and deeply rooted in the Southern African soil.
