Hi all The big release this week is the outdoor doggie adventure Arthur the King, which has nothing to do with King Arthur. It features Mark Wahlberg and Nathalie Emmanuel, fully recovered after losing her head in the Game of Thrones. Hong Kong's official entry to the 2024 Oscars, A Light Never Goes Out, is on at the arthouse-and-similar venues. Local revenge tale The Bush Knife is showing at three venues. It dates from 2017 but only got a release slot now. Lastly Bollywood has a Tom-Cruise style high action thriller with Yodha. Kung Fu Panda 4 opens next Thursday, so this is a short week, and there are previews all over all day Saturday. It did well on opening in the US this past weekend. Enjoy. :-) New this week * Arthur the King (13 L) * A Light Never Goes Out (13) * The Bush Knife (16 LV) * Yodha (Probably 13V) https://www.moviesite.co.za/new.htm Forthcoming attractions https://www.moviesite.co.za/4thcome.htm Updated the home page poster https://www.moviesite.co.za/ List of all movies showing https://www.moviesite.co.za/reviews.htm Same list sorted by Age Restriction https://www.moviesite.co.za/showingbyage.htm Showtimes https://www.moviesite.co.za/where.htm Remember you can support the site by reading the ads... :-) Enjoy :-) Cheers, Ian --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you call a large African mammal that nobody cares about?

"I can read the costs of all the individual items we ordered, but the total amount I owe is so faint I can't read it," the diner complained. "But sir," the waiter responded, "you specifically requested the dim sum." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In ancient Sumeria there was an uprising against the king. The king defeated the rebels but wanted to capture all their leaders, so he sent his greatest general to hunt them down. The remaining rebels had taken refuge in an abandoned step pyramid. Because it was so chilly at night, they lit a fire for warmth. The general saw the smoke coming from the step pyramid and quickly seized the rebels. And this is how we got the saying "The searching general has determined that smoking ziggurats is hazardous to your stealth." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate when I compliment someone's beard and all of a sudden she's not my friend anymore... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attractive women are just looking for security.
