Hi all Exam season is in full swing again, but never fear, Hollywood has what you need to help destress :-) We've got two big releases this week, one for the kids and one for the adults. First up is Pokémon Detective Pikachu, which set some records last week stateside as the biggest video-game-to-movie release ever, so it is likely to do well here too. For the adults, we have that most curious of things, a film starring Keanu Reeves (John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum ) that has received solid thumbs-up from the professional critics. It also stars Halle Berry who has been quiet lately. The other smaller releases include a Ukranian animated film (The Stolen Princess) for the little ones, and this week's arthouse-and-related release Gloria Bell. The Indian subcontinent has two offerings, the rom-com De De Pyaar De in Hindi, and another action rom-com Mr.Local in Tamil. On the previews side, there are premieres/previews at selected venues next Thursday evening for both Disney's live-action version of Aladdin, and Long Shot, starring Charlize. Suggest you book early (like NOW) for Aladdin .... see the Previews page for venues. Enjoy :-) Releasing 17 May 2019 * Pokémon Detective Pikachu (PG7-9 V) * Pokémon Detective Pikachu (3D) (PG7-9 V) * The Stolen Princess (PG7-9 V) * John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (18 LV) * John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (IMAX) (18 LV) * John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (4DX) (18 LV) * Gloria Bell (16 LNSD) * De De Pyaar De (Hindi) * Mr.Local (Tamil) http://www.moviesite.co.za/new.htm Forthcoming attractions 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 (full HD wallpaper ...)

They were sizes 30, 31, and 32, but I was looking for size 33. So I asked the owner if he had a pair. He shook his head. “I’m still wearing the 33s,” he said. “Come back next year.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scene: Me using the Siri app on my iPhone. Me: Siri, call my wife. Siri: Samantha McLaughlin is not in your contacts. Me: Samantha Gibbs is my wife. Siri: I’ve added Samantha Gibbs as your wife. Me: Call my wife. Siri: Which wife? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of saying “like,” I now say “such as” because I such as to sound smart. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The water I was heating for pasta refused to boil, and if my 12-year-old son was right, I wasn’t helping by constantly checking on it. “It’s like that old saying,” he said. “‘A watched website never loads.’” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some friends joined my husband and me at a diner. Everyone ordered regular coffee except for Joe, who asked for decaf. The waitress returned a few minutes later and set all the coffees down on the table. “Which one’s the decaf?” Joe asked. The waitress picked up a cup, took a sip, and said, “This one.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The food at the sandwich shop I frequent is good, but any deviation from the norm throws the staff. I once told a clerk that I wanted only half a sandwich. His reply: “What am I going to do with the other half?” A week later, when I told another clerk the same thing, she responded, “Do you want the top or the bottom?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A long line leading to the ladies’ room greeted my friend’s wife. Since desperate times call for desperate measures, my friend took her into the empty men’s room, then stood guard. When she exited a few minutes later, a man waiting his turn called out, “I hope you remembered to put up the toilet seat.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After an impromptu song, our pastor asked the church pianist, “What key did I sing that in?” The pianist replied, “Most of them.”
