Hi all Spring is sprung (well, if you consider 1 Sep to be the start), which, conversely, means that it's Autumn stateside, and that means we switch from "Coke and popcorn" mode to "watch fancy people sit around and drink tea" mode, in the run-up to the Oscars and Golden Globes. So in keeping with that, the first(?) of South Africa's hopefuls is having a qualifying one-week run at Cinema Nouveau Rosebank, namely Poppie Nongena. Go and give your support ... it's not people sipping tea :-) Back to the main-stream releases, headlined of course by It Chapter Two, which has had decent reviews overseas. It is however, adults only, and also has a rather long runtime. The other Hollywood release, After the Wedding, has a lower teen-friendly age res, but is aimed more at older women, so might not appeal to the teens. Moving back into violent adults-only territory, we have a new rather gritty local period piece set back in the late 1950s, Back of the Moon. It will be curious to see how this goes down with local audiences. Lastly the subcontinent has two offerings, a crime drama in Tamil, and a dramedy in Hindi. On the previews side, there are previews tomorrow afternoon at select venues for the upcoming remake of Fiela se Kind, and then a Girls Night Out treat next Thursday at more venues, for the female comedy Hustlers. See the previews page and remember to book.
