As you may or may not be aware, our Sister site The Movies is having a slight technical hiccup – so this is being posted here instead.
We all know who thinks you can get in the sea, only this time you might want to rethink listening to THAT Asian’s command. No sir, after watching the Ron Howard epic I can almost understand why the Japanese hate the large mammals so much. In the Heart of the Sea is an intense examination of hope, survival, and what you are willing to do when a 100 ft whale hates you and your mates with absolute resolve. So, go see it! My review will be out when the embargo lifts but can say that I ‘enjoyed’ the experience, one that is very visceral and will have your palms sweating.
Here’s what the movie is about and a trailer to whet your already soaked:
In 1820, crewmen (Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy) aboard the New England vessel Essex face a harrowing battle for survival when a whale of mammoth size and strength attacks with force, crippling their ship and leaving them adrift in the ocean. Pushed to their limits and facing storms, starvation, panic and despair, the survivors must resort to the unthinkable to stay alive. Their incredible tale ultimately inspires author Herman Melville to write “Moby-Dick.”
We have 2 hampers to give away to the value of R1500, and some rather nice loot is included! Get a load of this below.

All you have to do is enter with one valid email address and you could win! So get moving people and you could… Land this whale of a prize! We’ll draw on Monday the 21st on TheMovies.co.za. The competition is only open to residents of South Africa. Thanks to the peeps over at Times Media Films!

Don’t worry man. Only happens to regulars. 😉 So if you quit the commenting it should be fine.

Funny thing is the only time I won via random.org was when I just started commenting; think it was my first 10 comments on a Wookie article.

Rince the Mince!
Maybe just add that Lazygamer is broken for Chrome. So people will have to use the better browser…Firefox.

The site crashed Firefox, But I’d suffer through that than use IE
Captain JJ 4x
December 14, 2015 at 16:06
Firefox is too awesome for the site to handle, that’s why. 😉
HvR
December 14, 2015 at 16:38
For some reason Firefox is slow and sluggish

I’ll keep thinking the whale a metaphor for microtransactions when I see this thanks to Ubisoft.

Okay so what is going on with themovies atm? Out of the loop but the site is broken. Lagz has also been broken of late with all the current articles just replicating when clicking on “more”

The DNS was moved from the old hosts to new ones, and there’s been an issue of the previous DNS holders not able to let go, and the newer ones not being able to pick it up. It should. however, be sorted this week.
With LG, we did an update to the WP theme that we use, and it’s broken a lot of stuff that we’re scrambling, but struggling to fix.
