Hi all It's pretty much an adult weekend at the movies this week, which for some lucky people is a four-day break. The headline release is chapter two of the John Wick saga, featuring high action. We stay on the action theme with local release Jagveld (based on the novel by Deon Meyer), then mix in some romance and fast cars for Bollywood release Machine. Finally we ramp up the tension with Miss Sloane, local release The Tribe, and Bollywood's Trapped. On the previews side there are previews on Tuesday for Disney's upcoming live remake of Beauty and the Beast (which might possibly rewrite the March opening record books Stateside, where it opens this weekend), as well as the genre-bending Get Out, which has solid scores from the critics and public alike. Enjoy :-) Released 17 March 2017 * John Wick: Chapter 2 (16 V) * Jagveld (16 LV) * Miss Sloane (13 LS) * The Tribe (16 LSVD) * Machine (Hindi) * Trapped (Hindi) http://www.moviesite.co.za/new.htm SA Top Tens (commercial, Nouveau, best and worst movies on circuit) http://www.moviesite.co.za/topten.htm The US and UK Top Tens.

He shifted on his feet, looked up, looked down, shifted again, but didn't start his swing. Finally his exasperated partner asked, "What is taking so long?" "My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse," Bob explained. "I want to make a perfect shot." "Good grief!" his companion explained. "You don't have a snowball's chance in hell of hitting her from here." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A rewrite of an oldie... The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska. He was driving along near the campground when he heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. He found a helpless Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a 'Vote for Hillary' hat and a 'Save the Trees' shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically, thrashing all about and trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing Go Trump shirts came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum slug right into the bear's chest. The two other men pulled the semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off the bear. Two of the men dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their pickup truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat. As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of them over to him. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions! " he proudly proclaimed. "I have heard there was bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true. As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies, "Who was that guy ? "Dude, that was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom. "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom, but he don't know squat about bear hunting. By the way, is the bait still alive or do we need to go back to California and get another one ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. It's not aging, it's the door! Thank goodness for studies like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One night a nurse was making her rounds in a nursing home. While walking down the hall, she came across an open door. She looked in and saw old Frank sitting up in bed pretending to drive. She then asked, 'Frank, what are you doing?' He replied, 'I'm driving to Toronto.' The nurse smiled at him and carried on making her rounds. The next night as she walked past Franks room she saw the same thing. Again she asked, 'Frank, what are you doing?' He replied, 'I'm driving to Toronto, it's a two day trip you know!' The nurse smiled at him and carried on making her rounds . Five minutes later she came across another open door and looked in. She saw Bill pretending to dance with someone. She then asked, 'Bill, what are you doing?' Bill replied, 'I'm dancing with Franks wife, he's gone to Toronto for a couple of days...'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Bob, I really need your advice on a serious problem: I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, last night about midnight I hid in the shed behind the boat. When she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouched behind the boat, that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard engine mounting bracket. Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace the whole bracket? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quiz shows etc...
