RIP Nelson Mandela

Hollywood just loves Nelson Mandela these days, and Idris Elba is next in line to play the white-maned South African icon.

For anyone who wondered why and how on earth Katie Price was hanging around the Oscar after parties, we can reveal the horrific truth. She’s in talks with Hollywood – Hollywood, mind you – producers about creating a biopic based on her four autobiographies. Which she definitely wrote herself. Well, if Nelson Mandela can do it…

On February 11, 1990 when Nelson Mandela walked free from Robben Island after more than a quarter of a century of incarceration in his eight feet by eight feet cell, he discovered a country divided by apartheid. How could he bring people together? By uniting team and supporters on the rugby pitch. Director Clint Eastwood has done it again with Invictus, a wonderfully uplifting film that follows the true story of Nelson Mandela’s quest to reuinte his fractured country through the peaceful bonds of of giant men bashing into each other.

Looking for a box office blast, or avoiding a bomb? We look forward to all the upcoming releases including Edge of Darkness, Invictus, Precious, Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, Adoration, Youth in Revolt and what looks like the utterly terrible Astro Boy. You can’t go wrong with our patented anticipation-o-meter!
