| Boy Runtime: TBA Rating: TBA Get exited, people. This is filmmaker Taika Waititi's second feature film (after Eagle vs. Shark and episodes of TV's Flight of the Conchords). It's a coming-of-age comedy set in the 1980's, Waihau Bay in western Bay of Plenty. Boy
is obsessed with Michael Jackson (in particular, his dance moves) and
his little brother Rocky possibly possesses 'powers'. The pair try are
trying to find their potential whilst living in the shadow of their
fresh from prison, larger-than-life father Alamein, played by Waititi
himself, a member of the Crazy Horses gang.
