- DirectorGray HofmeyrStarsLeon SchusterDesmond DubeGerrit SchoonhovenAfter losing rugby's holy grail, the Currie Cup, Schuks (Leon Schuster) sets off on a hilarious journey to pay for what he has done. In lieu of a R1 million fine, the Sports Minister (Desmond Dube) offers Schuks a lifeline to create a documentary film that shows South Africa in a positive light. As the documentary takes shape, the Currie Cup traverses its own perilous journey as it moves from two clueless crooks, Bossie (Ivan Lucas) and Savage (Gerrit Schoonhoven), to an enterprising traffic officer and a conniving pawnbroker, among others.2015's top grossing box office local film. A market loyal to Leon Schuster.
- DirectorQuentin KrogStarsDonnaLee RobertsArmand AucampRolanda MaraisAfter a prolific South African writer disappears, a journalist is motivated by ambition to uncover the writer's secret history.Great cinematography and sound. Acting good at times, sometimes unbearable. Story line flawed.
- DirectorRene van RooyenTim TheronStarsTim TheronAnel AlexanderNadia BeukesAnother first for South Africa's fast-growing film industry: A multiple-storyline ensemble romantic dramedy capturing the essence of what love looks like in all its different shapes and sizes. Mooirivier is a film about relationships, about how we can't live without them, about how love always wins, even if it doesn't look, or turn out, the way you thought it would.Unexpectedly enjoyable.
- DirectorStefan NieuwoudtStarsKaz McFaddenLeandie du RandtGys de VilliersWillemien's life gets turned upside-down the day she brings home the eccentric, bow tie-wearing Vossie. Set in the picturesque town of Stellenbosch, the story unfolds with Vossie experiencing many awkward moments as he finds himself in a home worlds apart from his own.Unreal characters and unmotivated scenarios.A romantic comedy with no chemistry.
- DirectorCorne van RooyenStarsChristia VisserEdwin van der WaltNicola HanekomSet against the backdrop of 2004's Matric dance, Jana van Tonder, a wallflower who lives in an impoverished railway neighborhood with her dysfunctional parents, watches the Oscars and becomes inspired to secure her very own Hollywood red-carpet moment at the upcoming Matric Farewell Dance.

Actually a 2015 movie, released 26 Jan, 2015.
- DirectorSara BlecherStarsHykie BergIzel BezuidenhoutMichelle BothaIn the middle of the night, someone rings the doorbell of successful Bloemfontein, South Africa businessman Danie du Toit. Outside, the rain is pouring down. Danie puts on his gown, walks to the front door, and switches on the light. A slender rain-soaked figure stands with her back turned to him. When she turns around, he recognizes the face that stares at him from underneath the hood. It's his stepdaughter, whom he hasn't seen in years. "It's me, Anna" she says calmly. The hate seeps through her words, just like the rain that pours over them. Then she lifts the gun--The movie "Dis Ek, Anna" is about Anna Bruwer's sexual abuse by her stepfather over an 8-year period. She called herself Silent Anna because she couldn't tell anyone what had happened between them--not her mother, not her best friend, not even her own father. The viewer becomes intimately involved in the child's twilight world of shame, threats and silence.I wanted so much more from this. Poor sound and acting from some characters.
