Seluj ‘oH
And now that Seluj ‘oH you have alighted out of my nest into the embrace of steadfast warrior; Whisked away by consequences and cemented by conservative ideals in this world that has imbibed all and sundry.
Itshitshi
Itshitshi is a brave interrogation of muti killings in our society. Above all else it is also a reflection on the nature of greed prevalent in us with regards to being successful as a people at any cost, let alone running businesses. It is an exquisitely made film with a balanced palette for its production design that does justice to the script it rests on. Nhlakanipho Mapumulo will win your heart as an animatedly soft empathetic Njomane and both Dawn Thandeka King and Nomsa Bthelezi respectively hold their positions as great talent this country has ever ushered to our screens. Yes you guessed it right I loved this film
Telkom_LIT_TV_100 and the New Frontier
The LIT TVC 100 Packages then turns your home into a connected hub both in entertainment and productivity, concretely. Gradually Naspers through both DStv Now and Showmax has made its way into the OTT environment and Telkom LIT TVC 100 will provide one of the ecosystems within which it can thrive amongst other OTT’S. Make no mistake that the other internet service providers will hanker into the OTT’s application platforming over time; perhaps by platforming rather than erecting a new OTT service similar to Showmax or Netflix for that matter. It is a matter of how they will find their way there which will be of interest to those who care about the future of television. This is the new frontier that is opening up and Telkom dictates the way through data provision and platforming.
The Imposter
The Imposter is an interesting proposal and risky too if one keeps in mind what the contemporary television viewer is bombarded with these days. The screen and its multitudes of channel feeds is awashed by prison break dramas and prison soap operas or soap operas that goes into a rogue mode when a principal character goes to prison and the audiences loyalty is split between the old saying ‘crime does not pay’ and the empathy solicited on behalf of the incarcerated character; to be set free
Mmmmmm
if I was to introduce you to a delicious dish and you exclaimed with the expression ‘Mmmmm’ I would congenially nod with you the last roll of that ‘m’ because in silent agreement you and I would be bowing to a magnificence (magnifique) of that dish. Thus here the expression ‘Mmmmm’ would be pointedly expressing our delight, and allow me to say, resonance.
The (Re)discovery of Sonequa Martin-Green
Sonequa Martin-Green’s role in the new Star Trek series ‘Discovery’ ushers in a new heroine for a new generation. That is if you ignore long enough the framing narrative to the grand narrative of this iconic space opera.
Tjovitjo
Mmutleak: #SABC’s dance drama #Tjovitjo is a grand proposal in the annals of modern narratives. Perhaps even a brave shot from the troubled #SABC. Unfortunate it is… Read more “Tjovitjo”
