The Dead Lands

SEE IT: Described as a cross between Apocalypto, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Braveheart, new movie The Dead Lands is making a big impact here and worldwide. Set in pre-European New Zealand, and entirely in te reo Maori, the film follows a Maori chieftain's son, who aims to avenge his father's murder. On now at Reading Cinemas Rotorua.

HEAR IT: If you're a fan chances are you're already all over Taylor Swift's new album 1989. If you're not a fan you could well become one if you give it a spin. Catchy first single Shake It Off isn't even the best song here, as the former country singer well and truly enters pop territory. It even seems a bit of BFF Lorde is rubbing off on Swift, especially on the dark, 80s-tinged electro-pop track Out of the Woods.

READ IT: Timing is everything. As news of Ebola dominates headlines worldwide, Fredrik T Olsson's debut novel Chain of Events is a scary look at a world of secret organisations, complex codes, a rampant virus, mind-blowing revelations and compelling characters unwittingly caught up in it all. Part thriller, part sci-fi, the book should appeal to fans of Dan Brown.

WATCH IT: Aren't we Kiwis funny. We're more worried about whether US media will report even a mention of the All Blacks being in Chicago than the game itself.

Check it out on Sky Sports from 8.30am - kick-off is 9am NZT.
