This week Spotlight looks in on the universe’s Masters action reboot, an outrageous parody world of scary movies and local YouTube sensation Kim Jayde, who is kicking it up on television screens.
By the power of Grayskull, the legendary Masters of the Universe return to the big screen. Prince Adam is back in Eternia to embrace his destiny as He-Man, battling forces of evil threatening his home. From Bumblebee filmmaker Travis Knight, this live-action adventure stars big-name actors including Idris Elba, Jared Leto, Camila Mendes and Nicholas Galitzine, and is at cinemas and IMAX.
One of South Africa’s YouTube success sensations is kicking it up a notch with a third season of her broadcast edition, blowing up TV screens with celebrity interviews, fashion, streetwear culture and inspiring stories from big names in entertainment. Kickin’ It With Kim Jayde is expanding beyond South Africa into global creative hubs including New York and Los Angeles. This is her biggest season yet. Catch it on Bravo Africa 9 (DStv channel 124) and don’t miss presenter Collette Prince’s interview with Jayde this week.
Comedy meets horror again in Scary Movie 6, as a generation of films shaping the past decade are now officially on notice in this parody. Hits such as M3GAN, The Nun, Smile, Sinners and even superhero movies are all in the firing line to solve who Ghostface is. Director Michael Tiddes reunites with the Wayans brothers alongside Anna Faris, Regina Hall and more. At cinemas, D-BOX and 4DX.
