Movies: The Hangover 2

Coming Soon: For Coloured Girls

Interesting movie. No news yet on when it will screen here in NZ but it should be a good film. I think Janet Jackson has really delivered some solid performances in the last two "why did I get married" films so I'm interested to see how she does in this film.

The OTHER Avatar

There are those of you who will be familiar with the popular Avatar: the Legend of Aang(The Last Airbender) cartoon series that screens daily on Nickelodeon. This is one of the few kiddie/tween animations that I watch (and wish I could follow if I had time) and enjoy. With numerous animation-real life adaptaions that have been undertaken in the last five years, I am eager to see how this translates on the big screen.

I spotted the trailer over on youtube. Titled The Last Airbender, it is Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (I had to go back and make sure I spelt it right lol and features what looks to be an unknown cast but includes Dev Patel (Slum Dog Millionaire) as the arche nemisis Zuko. I would have loved to see a few more asians casted in the lead roles (seeing as the animated charecters are asian) but we'll see how this turns out.

City of Men

Following the success of the television series of the same name, City of Men is the follow up movie. In the no holds barred, raw fashion of its predecessor City of Gods, the movie follows Acerola and Laranjinha, who are youngsters in the TV series but now are turning 18 and will get drawn into a gang war that will test their friendship and change their lives.

If you enjoyed City of Gods then you will enjoy this movie too.
