STARRING Will smith, kate winslet,

Boasting a wonderful
cast that includes Kate
Winslet, Will Smith
and Edward Norton, this
moving melodrama sees New
York advertising executive
Howard Inlet (Smith) struggling
to cope after losing his young
daughter. As a way of dealing
with his grief, he writes letters
to ‘Time’, ‘Love’ and ‘Death’.
His colleagues do everything
they can to help him, but it
isn’t until real-life embodiments
of his pen-pals turn up that
Howard begins to rediscover
his love of life. Stirring stuff!

Mermaid, Sebastian
the crab sang: “Darling
it’s better, down where it’s
wetter, take it from me!”
This December, almost three
decades later, Little Mermaid
directors Ron Clements and
John Musker are creating
a commotion in the ocean
once more – this time with
a tale involving a determined
Polynesian princess.
In order to save her small
village, Moana (which means
‘sea’ in Maori) sets sail for
a fabled island. Joining her
on her epic adventure is
Maui – a shapeshifting
demigod who’s a little on
the vain side. Hilariously
played by Dwayne ‘The Rock’
Johnson, Maui is just one of
countless terrific characters
in this sea-sational tale
(Jemaine Clement’s villainous
50-foot coconut crab Tamatoa
is also a rib-tickling highlight).
A magical Disney adventure
that’s perfect for the little ones,
but stuffed with enough injokes and imagination to keep
bigger kids (i.e. adults) happy
too. The ocean is calling...
