Hi all This week's two widest release did not do too well when they opened last week in the USA, only managing to land at numbers 4 and 6. I guess the below-average reviews didn't help either. Here in SA, they're up against two new Oscar-nominated releases, including one from the venerable Mr. Tarantino, so we'll have to see how that plays out, and how they fare against all the other goodness already on circuit. There are a handful of previews next Wednesday for the upcoming Afrikaans rom-com Vir Altyd, see the Previews page and remember to book.

' 'Naw, Jock replied I'm turning the heat off while I'm out.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You know you're getting old, when you go to the Chemist more often than the Pub. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now! You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body. I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom. I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiger Woods & Stevie Wonder are in a bar… Tiger turns to Stevie and says, "How's the singing career going?" Stevie replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?" Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that right, now." Stevie: "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right." Incredulous, Tiger says, "You play GOLF?" Stevie: "Yes, I've been playing for years." Tiger: "But -- you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?" Stevie: "Well, I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice." "But, how do you putt?" asks Tiger. "Well", says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball towards his voice." Tiger: "What's your handicap?" Stevie: "Well, actually -- I'm a scratch golfer." Woods, totally amazed, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime." Stevie: "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole. Is that a problem?" Woods thinks about it and says, "I can afford that. Okay, I'm game for that. $10,000 a hole is fine with me. When would you like to play?" Stevie: "Pick a night." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you do this test you will know why you have received this test!!!!
