I’m really keen to see the new Morgan Freeman movie ‘Invictus’.     The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country.   Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid.  Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.  Sounds fab and I love watching Morgan Freeman, he is just brilliant as an actor.

    I did manage to get to see the 3D Avatar movie just over a week ago and I have to say it is absolutely amazing!  Definitely worth watching.   Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.  I can certainly see why it’s the biggest box office seller of all time, it is truly stunning!   Try and catch it if you can before the run at the cinema ends.

   Another film that I think is definately worth seeing (I thoroughly enjoyed it, probably because of Robert Downey Jr. yummy) is Sherlock Holmes.  In a dynamic new portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “Sherlock Holmes” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.  The effects are brilliant and the banter between Holmes and Watson is just hilarious!

Whatever you decide to do (or see!) at the weekend, have fun x
