Hi all Well it's Valentine's Weekend so we have suitable fare for the young lovers, including a new Afrikaans rom-com. There's also previews all over on Saturday for the upcoming local release Happiness is a Four-Letter Word. The big release this week is Deadpool, which aims a bit above the usual demographic for Marvel Superheroes, as it is for 16s and up only. However initial reviews are good, as is viewer approval, so it should do well. The Hindi market is also in for a treat with three new releases :-) M O V I E S 12 February 2016 * Vir Altyd (PG7-9) * Deadpool (16 LSV) * Deadpool (4DX) (16 LSV) * Deadpool (IMAX) (16 LSV) * How to be Single (16 L) * A Perfect Day (PG10-12 L) * Fitoor (Hindi) * Ghayal Once Again (Hindi) * Sanam Re (Hindi) http://www.moviesite.co.za/new.htm SA Top Tens (commercial, best and worst movies on circuit) http://www.moviesite.co.za/topten.htm Added US and UK Top Tens http://www.moviesite.co.za/news/newsitem.htm Showtimes (all Ster-Kinekor, Nu Metro, MovieZone, CineCentre, Movies@, Labia) http://www.moviesite.co.za/where.htm Forthcoming attractions for 19 February. http://www.moviesite.co.za/4thcome.htm Updated the pic and quote on the home page http://www.moviesite.co.za/ This Week's pinup http://www.moviesite.co.za/pinup.html (for the gals) Pick of the Week http://www.moviesite.co.za/pick.htm All the previews.

So he climbs up in the rafters, hangs upside down, and starts shouting "I'm a light bulb, I'm a light bulb". The foreman comes over and says "Paddy you're mad, pack your stuff and get out!", so he packs his stuff and heads off. Murphy starts packing his stuff up as well, so the foreman says "where the hell do you think you're going?" To which Murphy replies "well, you don't expect me to working in the bloody dark, do you!!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bloke walks into a bar with a salmon under his arm, and says to the barman "do you do fishcakes?" Barman relies "no", to which the man replies "that's a shame, it's his birthday today!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- How would you pronounce this girl's name: "Le-a"? Leah? NO Lee - A? NOPE Lay - a? NO WAY Lei? Guess Again. It's pronounced "Ledasha." Oh, yes, you read it right. This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. If you see something come across your desk like this, please remember to pronounce it correctly. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "The dash don't be silent." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grandad gave me some sound advice on his deathbed. "It's worth spending money on good speakers," he told me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. As they were leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table and didn't miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses. All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wouldn't say my missus is a bad cook, but she uses the smoke alarm as a timer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We call our grandad "Spiderman". He hasn't got any super powers - he just finds it difficult to get out of the bath. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- How many Indians does it take to change a light bulb? Just a moment, sir. Let me pass you on to the right department. Please hold the line. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
