Boy's a dreamer - he loves Michael Jackson and lives with a clutch of cousins, his Nan and his brother Rocky...

Boy is a movie, a local movie, a really good local movie and one that has captured the hearts of NZ'ers as its position as biggest grossing local movie of all time  attests. I've picked the soundtrack to the film as today's featured release cause its real good and deserves your attention, so there.

Something else that deserves your attention is the All Whites debut at the Football World Cup tonight against Slovakia in Rustenburg. Good luck guys!

Release Of The Day:
Boy - The Soundtrack

In Boy's eyes, his dad is a hero: a deep-sea diver, war veteran, rugby captain and close relation of Michael Jackson....this is the soundtrack of the highest grossing NZ movie of all time, Boy.

Featuring contributions from The Phoenix Foundation, Patea Maori Club, Prince Tui Teka, Herbs and a bunch more.
