This week at the movies

Children are the centre of cinematic attention this week, and just in time for the winter holidays here in Argentina. Top pick of the week for the kiddiewinks (and adults, come on) is most certainly Disney-Pixar’s new debut, 'Brave' which features an all-star British cast that includes Kelly MacDonald, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters and Emma Thompson.

In general movie makers try to provide parents with many options for entertaining their kids over the the summer holidays (in the States) and winter holidays here as possible, and this week is no exception.

This week's premiere of the Scottish English spoken 'Brave', is a must-see.

The story circulates around Princess Merida, who defies customs in her kingdom and goes onto undertake a great adventure in which she must rely on her archery skills in order to undo a deadly curse. 

Another option hot off the Hollywood cinema reel includes 'Friends with Kids' but it's more one of those Tinseltown predictables about love and relationships picking up on the grand decision whether to choosing between having kids or a relationship in order to maintain happiness.
