To answer that burning question, yes, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have heaps of chemistry in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." You'll enjoy their banter, and possibly understand the wet dreams their agents had when putting together this comedy-thriller. You won't, however, understand why most of this film had to be punctuated by the noisy sight and sound of guns and grenades when smart dialogue would have been far cleverer.
Not much happens in "The World." But there's a reason why it's been so widely acclaimed. The devil is in the details captured by "sixth generation" mainland director Jia Zhangke.

Africa’s highest mountain Kilimanjaro rises to over 19,000 feet, and getting to its famed snow capped peak means traversing through five distinct weather climates.

These are just a few of the facts various narrators dramatically mention during “Kilimanjaro,” which is making its Hong Kong debut at the Space Museum.
