Some of the Exciting Movies coming from New Zealand in 2006
The Pashing Of Christchurch: A thirtysomething bachelor played by Mel Gibson comes back to life, only to find himself embarking on an illicit romance with a prostitute in the world's least surprising city.

Memoirs of a Geyser: An incident at one of the country's most popular thermal springs in Rotorua leads to the unfortunate demise of a group of Japanese tourists (not to be confused with It's a Mud Mud Mud Mud World).
Crocodile Dunedin: Global warming means that Paul Hogan gets even more latitude (and a fresh accent) to reignite the world with his ever-enticing antipodean swagger, not to mention receding facial features. Not bad for someone whose most recent movie was Strange Bedfellows.
There's Something About Maori: Ben Stiller zips across to New Zealand after discovering that his high school sweetheart has found a new man on the other side of the Pacific.
The Milford Sound of Music: Accordion to legend, a family of Australian boatpeople escapes fascism, only to become trapped in a damp place they can't a-fjord on the scenic South Island. Pity nun of them packed an umbrella.
Queenstown as Folk: Heath Ledger ranches out again as one-half of a childless gay couple who experience unexpected excitement on their way to a holiday in Invercargill.
The Year My Mum Spoke: A woman in her early 20s (Anna Paquin) recalls how her life took a turn for the worse after her mother (Holly Hunter) discovered the power of speech and traded in her piano for a very large organ (Harvey Keitel).
Once Were Worriers: Anxiety leads to some desperate dysfunction in Auckland's only apartment block. Such as using the stairs instead of the lift.
Vertical Limit 2: They're pushing it, but at five storeys that Auckland apartment block was too good to waste on just one movie. Just think; with a bigger budget, they could have made The Two Towers 2.
A Waiter at My Table: Jane Campion goes out on a lamb with this documentary about a miracle: a couple are served a meal in less than two hours in a fashionable Wellington restaurant.
The Triumph of the Wool: Director Peter Jackson's follow-up to King Kong. A $400 million propaganda trilogy about a close-knit 1930s family who rallies behind a New Zealand government hell-bent on condemning the nation to another 50 years of pre-industrialisation.
The Return of the Kiwi: Count the sheep if you can in this 11-hour miniseries released on DVD for the third time, with about 246 hours of additional features including a commentary track from Prime Minister Helen Clark. Not bad for a fantasy about an expat from the Bay of Islands who dreams of coming home.
Celsius 9/11: Controversial but imaginative documentary about the climatic extremes of the hottest day of a Wellington summer.
Whale Raider: Angelina Jolie defies taboos aplenty when she stumbles on illicit treasures inside a humpback called Brad.
The Seven Hobbits of Highly Defective People: Companion piece to the above. If you've wondered how New Zealand became the economic paradise that it is today, here is your answer. But don't blink.
The Chronicles of Nanna: Elaborately conceived, if underfunded, biblical tale about a grandmother from Nelson who gets a new wardrobe after bewitching a very large cat.

I can hardly wait!
