Roy-Keane Avontuur made some impressive runs from the left flank but they were thwarted by the Wolves’ defence.
Stellenbosch’s Ethan Felix took a powerful shot from the right side of the 18-yard box in the 12th minute. However, the Premier League team goalkeeper Joe Young saved the same cleanly. The James Collins-coached side gradually...

Monkeys and Hollywood have had a long and enduring relationship with each other. For whatever reason, monkeys have been involved in practically every type of film. They’ve portrayed benevolent figures in classic cartoons like The Jungle Book and The Lion King, and also played more sinister creatures like the Flying Monkeys in Wizard of Oz and the cunning apes of The Planet of the Apes.
This month brings the release of yet another ape-themed movie with War for the Planet of the Apes, the highly-anticipated sequel to 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This addition to the long-running franchise follows Caesar (played by famed motion-capture actor Andy Serkis), the lead ape of the series, as he leads a quest of vengeance against the humans that have wronged his kind. Woody Harrelson also stars as The Colonel, the malicious leader of...

Let’s talk remakes again. Our series continues as we look at a remake which is just as good--and maybe better--than the original. Cinelinx goes ape this week as we look at the 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young.
As cinematic simians go, Joe Young is not as well remembered as King Kong or Caesar from the Planet of the Apes films, but the original 1948 film has enough of a cult following to rate a remake, which came out exactly 50 years later.
The 1948 version of Mighty Joe Young was made by some of the same people as the classic King Kong (1933) was. It had the same writer (Ruth Rose), one of the same lead actors (Robert Armstrong) and the guy who did the Kong SFX (Willis O’Brien.) Fun Fact: O’Brien trained FX legend Ray Harryhausen, who also worked on this film as Willis’ First Tech. But I digress. The...

I'll trade you two RKOs for two Warners', an even swap! This quartet of movie-magic wonderments offer a full course on old-school film effects wizardry at its best. Willis O'Brien passes the baton to disciple Ray Harryhausen, who dazzles us with his own effects magic for the first '50s giant monster epic. And the best monster thriller of the decade is offered at its original widescreen aspect ratio. It's all special enough to merit a mid-week review. Special Effects Collection Blu-ray The Son of Kong, Mighty Joe Young, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Them!

The two leading recipes for success are
building a better mousetrap and finding a bigger loophole.
Edgar A. Shoaff
For the first few decades of broadcast television, the then three major networks held a near-monopoly on the national audience. More often than not, on any given night it was likely nine out of every ten people watching TV were watching one or another of ABC, CBS, NBC.
But even then, in that small sliver of the audience not watching the nets, there was evidence of a viewer appetite for an alternative to the often formula-dominated programming of the big broadcasters. Statistically, they didn’t amount to more than what would, years later, come to be referred to as a “niche” audience, and you’d be making a hell of an assumption saying they were looking elsewhere for their TV entertainment because they wanted something better. But it was...

About every dozen years or so, I sit myself down and ogle King Kong. It’s a great movie, all the more impressive as it only offers a merely adequate cast (by and large). It ain’t Casablanca or Citizen Kane, and some (often me) say Mighty Joe Young is a better ape flick. But King Kong is responsible for two major events: it taught the moviegoer that movies are capable of playing to our sense of wonder on an astonishing level… and it gave birth to the whole ape-fad thing. Outside of movies circa 1930s and 40s, nowhere is this phenomenon more visible than in comics. To this very day, massive primates threatening our safety if not our sanity are common to the comics racks. While Hollywood keeps on grinding out pathetic great ape imitations and senseless remakes of the original, comics seem to churn out contemporary simians like clockwork.

Long before computers allowed filmmakers the achieve the impossible, effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen -- who died at age 92 on Tuesday -- brought fantastical creatures to life using cutting-edge stop-motion animation techniques. This fan-made video features glimpses of all of Harryhausen's spectacular special effects sequences, featuring everything from sensitive gorillas to massive sea beasts to swashbuckling skeletons. (Visit harryhausen.com for a full list of the creatures and the films they come from.)

"Okay, just to be clear here, our options are: die here, die in the tunnels, or die in the streets. That pretty much it?" — Hud, Cloverfield
The heyday of giant monster movies has long since passed into Hollywood history, but if the enthusiasm of the crowd in attendance at Legendary/Warner's (L/W) presentation for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim at this past weekend's WonderCon convention in Anaheim is any indication, the sci-fi sub-genre could be poised for a comeback. L/W is so confident that audiences are ready to embrace giant monsters that they've already ordered up a sequel, and Frank Darabont (The Mist, The Walking Dead) is working on a Godzilla update that he promises will take the "camp" out of the Japanese icon and deliver a Godzilla that is a "terrifying force of nature."
Will the new monsters capture the imagination as they did in days...

[This week's "Retro Active" pick is inspired by the James Franco-headlined porn drama About Cherry.]
Porn may be many things, but it's rarely very funny, a fact that's lost on Orgazmo, a 1997 comedy from South Park creator Trey Parker (who stars, writes and directs) that boasts no real joke other than the idea that a pent-up religious conservative making adult films is the height of contrasting-worlds hilarity. Parker's story concerns Joe Young (Parker), a sunny, simpleminded Mormon in California whose desire to return home to Utah and marry his sweetheart Lisa (Robyn Lynne) is stymied by his lack of money. While going door-to-door preaching the gospel to people who show disdain for his faith, Joe happens upon a porn shoot, and when he beats to a pulp the security detail attempting to evict him from the set, is selected by director Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs) to assume the lead role in "Orgazmo," a work of smut about a do-gooder who first saves,...

Monster movies to me have always been the shit! Godzilla, Mighty Joe Young, King Kong, Starship Troppers and Tremors (just to name a few) are some of my favorite films, which is undoubtedly the reason why I can not wait for Guillermo del Toro's upcoming monster flick, Pacific Rim to hit theaters. This movie is going to be epic, No Ifs Ands or Buts about it. Check out a brand new image, which comes to us courtesy of USA Today, giving us our first…...

Bill Paxton - a favorite of James Cameron, a tornado chaser, an Apollo astronaut, a Mormon wife-collector, and a friend of Joe Young. And also, it's sometimes forgotten, occasional director. The veteran character actor made his feature film directing debut a decade ago with the decent thriller "Frailty," and followed it up a few years later with the well-received Disney golf drama "The Greatest Game Ever Played," a sort of "Legend of Bagger Vance" without the questionable racial elements. With Paxton starring over the past few years in hit HBO drama "Big Love," his directorial ambitions have been on ice,…...

Because this week has seen the cinematic release of the terribly titled Rise of the Planet of the Apes of the Jedi, or whatever it’s called, this latest WhatCulture Complete Guide is turning its attention to the greatest threat mankind has ever seen. Apes. And it’s little wonder when you think about it – films like Hollow Man and Project X tell stories of man’s exploitation of our simian cousins and ancestors (sorry God), and we expect them to simply roll over and accept it?! I think Dunston Checks In is proof enough that that was never going to be the case.
So follow us as we chart a course through the evolution of the Monkey Threat on screen. There is a distinct pattern, and I think if we don’t learn from it, we will all be looking into the damaged face of the Statue of Liberty in all-too-short a time.

Movies have been messing with apes since a Hollywood director captured and chained that great gorilla on Skull Island and brought him to Broadway in 1933's King Kong.
The reason, of course, is as plain as the image in the mirror. Apes and monkeys: They're like us, but they're not us. That's the fascination. And it's a great starting point for all kinds of storytelling, be it comic or cautionary.
This summer, movies have served up quite a bit of both, offering a barrel full of monkeys that, at the risk of offending Bonzo and Mighty Joe Young, eclipses all previous comers, not to mention the rumbling robots, pirates and wizards currently littering the multiplex.
Then there's this story of human hubris: Scientists perform experiments on a young chimp and, afterward, abandon it, leaving the animal caught halfway between man and monkey.
It's the premise of not one, but two...

The obsession with our hairy ancestors seems to know no end. With huge hits like “Curious George,” “Dunston Checks In,” “Mighty Joe Young,” and Tim Burton’s magnum opus rehashing of “Planet of the Apes,” it makes perfect sense that the studios keep pumping out primate pictures.
With “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” set to release in August, 20th Century Fox is now turning its attention to the animation department, where Christian Magalhaes and Bob Snow are charged with the task of telling the story of King Kong through the perspective of, well, Kong himself. (via Deadline)
I’m looking forward to getting an in depth view into the psychological state of the hopelessly romantic gorilla, who wanted nothing more than to provide a good view for the woman he loved.

When I was a kid, TV over Thanksgiving weekend definitely meant The Wizard of Oz and maybe a marathon of the 1933 King Kong and all those goofy black-and-white Mighty Joe Young flicks. But as Jill Cozzi notes at the new Cinemarati Facebook page: The new "family movies" televised in heavy rotation for the holidays: "The Fellowship of the Ring" (because nothing says Thanksgiving like hobbits in constant fear); "Titanic" (because nothing says Thanksgiving like a watery grave), and The Godfather movies (because nothing says Thanksgiving like "family"). All this and a "Deadliest Catch" marathon. Because nothing says "Thanksgiving" like watching a bunch of guys risk their lives for the crab legs at your local Chinese buffet.

"How ya gonna keep .em/Down on the Farm/ After they've seen Shanghai, Ai" Somehow those lyrics do not sound as mellifluous as the ones penned about Paree in 1918 by Joe Young and Sam L. Lewis, but they make this point: China may have gone (shh) capitalist, allowing that country's economy to top Japan's The prosperity, however, did not reach China's rural communities. Lixin Fan's documentary, "Last Train Home," captures that unfortunate fact most graphically. The particular family covered by Lixin Fan, who both directs and serves a photographer did not go to Shanghai but rather to Guangzhou to work in the rag trade in a dismal factory, making five bucks a day for sixteen hours' work, some making jeans for export for Americans "with their 40-inch waists," as one worker jokes. It's no wonder that Zhang Changhua and Chen Suqin keep pestering their two children to study hard,...

Does this sounds familiar? Committed non-parent type in high-status job unexpectedly finds himself lumbered by an ex with kids he never knew he had. As the kids grow attached to him, the reluctant father struggles to handle his new role. Ultimately he makes it clear that the kids are too much trouble and they have to go back. With the kids gone, though, the reformed dad realizes that family is more important than business. After racing through an airport/traffic jam/zoo (take your pick) the family is reunited and everyone (presumably) lives happily ever after.
If you haven't seen that scenario in a family movie yet, you clearly don't watch many of them. If that's the case, you ain't gonna like Old Dogs. It's not giving much away to say the above is the plot in a nutshell. Just because it's not original, though, doesn't mean it's bad (c'mon,...
