Hi all It's Halloween Horror weekend for the adults this week, kicking off with our first local entry in the genre, The Tokoloshe. That's joined on circuit with Hollywood's contribution, Slender Man, based on some urban legends. Staying with the adult fare, we have another local release which, like Tokoloshe, has already won some awards, and is a genre-morphing crime thriller. Then Stallone is back in a sequel to Escape, promising more high action as he tries to prove he's not past it (yet). Lastly on the adults-only side, a new comedy from Tyler Perry, and for a change no mention of his name in the title, but it's a chick-flick called Nobody's Fool. On the art circuit, we have the offbeat musical-romance-comedy Juliet, Naked, while the big release for this week is Disney's live-action version of the famous classic story/ballet The Nutcracker, which should be a treat for the little ones even if the critics were not too impressed. India is releasing two movies during the week for Diwali, one in Hindi (their take on Pirates of the Caribbean) and one in Tamil. On the previews side, there are isolated previews for Overlord (IMAX version) at the IMAX venues on Wednesday, The Girl in the Spider's Web on Thursday, and a premier for Bohemian Rhapsody on Sunday at Hyde Park (which for some reason is not showing up on the Previews page... will investigate). See the previews page and remember to book.

The children were drawing and I noticed one child was particularly deep in concentration. I asked him what he was drawing and he told me it was Jesus. The child next to him piped up that we didn't know what Jesus looked like. The boy looked at him for a minute and then retorted, "Well, you will when I've finished!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My dad fell off his garden ladder and became very dazed. We decided to take him to Emergency Services to get him checked out. The first thing the nurse did was ask him what day it was to determine his coherency. My dad retorted without hesitation, "It's refuse collection day." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My friend took her daughter to their local church for the vicar's leaving service. The choir sang as they walked down the aisle, all holding large white lit candles. As the lights were dimmed and silence ensued, the daughter's voice could be loudly heard singing, "Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you..." Much to the enjoyment of the congregation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My teenage brother phoned our mum to complain that there was no food in the house again. She said she was sorry but that she'd been busy. He continued, "There's not even bread." And then in more exasperated tones, "Even prisoners have bread." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Years ago I worked as a hotel porter and spotted a middle aged man entering reception with a much younger women. I rushed over asking, "May I carry your wife's bags?" Glaring at him, the woman snapped, "You didn't tell me she was going to be here!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quickies They say true happiness comes from within. That’s why I never go outside. I have a friend who's a weatherman. When he tells me that he wants to hang out I tell him there’s a 100 per cent chance that I’ll be there, and then I don’t show up. I don't know how to use the word “hypothetical” in a sentence. But imagine if I did... Last night I blew R5000 on a reincarnation seminar. I just thought to myself, "Screw it. You only live once." I don't understand why people choose to use personal trainers. I’ve never been exercising and suddenly thought, "Man, I wish the hottest person I’ve ever seen was here criticising me right now." You can't actually lose a homing pigeon. If your homing pigeon doesn’t come back, then what you’ve lost is a pigeon. If Adam and Eve couldn’t make it work in paradise, how the hell am I supposed to make it work in Jozi? I’ve written a letter of complaint to the Post Office about my post being stolen. To make sure that they see it, I’ve put it inside a birthday card. I was arrested at the airport for smearing someone’s luggage with Vaseline. It’s okay though, the police dropped the case.
