ROCKET SCIENCE is a must see...




One of last years best scripts and a breakout performance from the natural Reece Thompson ensures Rocket Science is up on 2007's biggest sleepers list. Unlike the overrated Juno, Jeffrey Blitz's stimulating screenplay hardly ever rings hollow, despite the fact some of these high schooler's made that pregnant whippersnapper sound like a three year old. Here though, as unrealistically hyper-articulate as this high school debate team, indie-romance styled dramedy feels, Blitz possesses the rare ability to seamlessly merge it with a whole bunch of tender awkwardness and create something far superior then a wit-fest.

Encapsulating this neurotic whimsy is the gifted Thompson (amongst other very well casted performances) who like a younger, more accessible Jason Schwartzman, takes an annoyingly exploited trait of stuttering unease and mines it into a tender, thoughtful coming of age characterization that should inspire even the most cynical of introverts.

Littered with scene after scene of a simply far more perceptive quirk then what Hollywood's continuously dumbed-down interpretations of independent film used to be, Rocket Science blasts off with personality and style to spare.

THE LEADING KNIT WEAR LABEL "PWHOA"

RICHARD DE JAGER

A little describtion from the designer himself, about himself... "I am a knitwear designer/stylist, i live in cape town. I make crazy knitwear and hang out in dodgy rock clubs with my friends. we go out and steal palm leaves and tikki bars."

What more would you like to know about the leading South African designer, who clothes also describe his amazing yet crazy and loving personality... he is a genius of our time, who works wonders with an age old, fabric that has almost been long forgot, and has revolutionized it to create costums that are just beautiful. Richard has single handedly changed this whole relm of fashion and he owns it...
