This unofficial The Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hunt for Gollum is a superb fan-made film for the fans, which has been released for free on the Internet via Independent Online Cinema. The low budget prequel was made for less than $5,000 and has accumulated a large following since its release with more than 2 million views in its first month of release.

The Lord of the Rings saga sees Aragorn and Gandalf in search of Gollum, a 38 minute film that ties in quite neatly with the trilogy. It's an inspirational must-see for Lord of the Rings fans, guerilla film-makers and a wonderful showcase of what can be done on a limited budget.

Here's to Good Times is an original South African mini-series set in Cape Town. The six-part TV series centres around Mackie (Riaz Solker) and Burns (Armand Aucamp) as two generations collide in this gritty revenge crime drama.

You'll be surprised to know that Here's to Good Times has been in production over the last two years with a core of dedicated film-makers, comprised of City Varsity graduates and faculty members. The mini-series makes use of similar shooting techniques to The Shield, creating a dynamic, unstable frame for the action with a small, mobile film crew.

Nicole Blomkamp has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Born in Johannesburg, she moved to Cape Town at the tender age of 15, where she continued to pursue her love for the arts.

Inspired by 2D animation films and characters like Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, her passion soon turned into a career after studying at Vancouver Film School in Canada, and it wasn't long before she was back in the Mother City living the dream!

Armed with a pencil, a sketch pad and a wicked sense of humour, Blomkamp has honed her talent and channeled her vivacious personality, translating it into witty, provocative and edgy illustrations. The up-and-coming cartoonist has enough stories to write an autobiography already, but right now she's busy putting the final touches on her website. Watch this space!

Blomkamp's a jet-setter, blessed with film star looks and oodles of natural talent. She's living life to the full and ready to take the world by storm in her Spongebob Squarepants boots of course! We were lucky enough to catch up with Nicole to find out about her Top Ten Movies...

Fright Night stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell and Christopher Mintz-Plasse in a horror comedy thriller about a teenager that suspects his neighbour is a vampire. Shia LaBeouf did something similar in Disturbia, which was strongly influenced by Hitchcock's Rear Window. Now it's time for the title remake to scare up some laughs...

The original 1985 Fright Night starred Chris Sarandon and William Ragsdale with that famous movie poster pictured right... watch the trailer for the Fright Night (2011) and then compare notes with the original Fright Night trailer. The new one's got less cheese and without the dated animatronics - it could just be scarier, but maybe they should have gone with lesser known actors?

Rise of the Planet of the Apes suffered a cruel blow when Kevin James stepped in as a different kind of an animal in surprise box office leader, Zookeeper. Despite mostly negative reviews, Zookeeper managed to trounce Captain America and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a blockbuster prequel and reboot to the franchise, which has done surprisingly well at the U.S. Box Office. Perhaps it's that time of the year when moviegoers just want some light comic relief or maybe they read our positive review for Zookeeper?
