ANGEL WORKS MOVIE REVIEW: HALF OF A YELLOW SUN

Directed by Biyi Bamidele. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Onyeka Onwenu, Genevieve Nnaji and OC Ukeje.

Expectations are running high for this movie among fans of author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and particularly Nigerian audiences, who will have to wait another two weeks for general release, risking a field day by the country's rampant pirate DVD industry.

It brings to the big screen Adichie's Orange Prize-winning novel, and also stars the "man of the moment" Chiwetel Ejiofor, who partnered with the Oscar-winning Lupita Nyong'o to such stunning effect in the recent movie "12 Years a Slave".

World's Biggest Building Opens in China... So Damn Huge 20 Sydney Opera Houses Would Fit Right In It


The world's largest building has opened in China capable of fitting 20 Sydney Opera Houses - or three Pentagons - inside. The New Century Global Center in Chengdu, Sichuan province, is a staggering 19million sq.ft. and contains shopping centers, a Mediterranean village, a water park, an ice-skating rink, and multiple hotels.

However, visitors to the glass panelled building need not worry about the weather as the giant complex will have its own artificial sun.  According to Chinese officials, the New Century Global Center is the largest freestanding building in the world, and took three years to complete.

‘This is an ocean city built by man,’ Chinese guide Liu Xun told AFP.
He added that the artificial sun built inside the building will provide light and heat 24 hours a day.
