Donald Trump’s policy of slapping tariffs on anything that he thinks is threatening the American job market is possibly about to hit our industry as his latest rant threatens a 100% tariff on all foreign (to America) films. In this weeks look at what's happening, Gino explains just what that would mean for the South African film industry.
Do you remember those great TV ads that used to grab the nations attention when they dropped? The ones that became part of everyday conversation. ACP looks at how social media and the instant gratification generation have made them "meh".
Tyler Perry’s star continues to rise in Gino's eyes as we await the June launch of his latest offering, "Divorced Sistas".
And the reviews:
Gladiator II - swords and sandals action in the long awaited follow up to Ridley Scott's original. After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now lead Rome, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum and must look to his past to find strength to return the glory of Rome to its people.
Battle Camp - Netflix reality stars battle in a remote camp where a spinning wheel determines elimination. Through physical trials, harsh punishments, and social gameplay, competitors fight to stay off the wheel and win $250,000.
And Mzanzi Magic's reality dating show, The Catch, makes its streaming debut on Showmax.
