Hi all Pre-Spring is sprung, at least down here in the Cape. At the movies this week we have three new mainstream releases, as well as the two from the subcontinent mentioned last week that opened yesterday. First up is the latest in the "let's remember old music stars" genre, this time the featured artist is The Boss Bruce Sprinsteen in Blinded by the Light, unexepectedly set in the UK rather than the USA. Reviews from press and public have been good. That's joined by two other releases which have not been so well received. The first of those is aimed at the very young viewers who will probably enjoy seeing their toys on the big screen, in Playmobil: The Movie. Meanwhile mom can check out the dark deeds in the female-driven crime drama The Kitchen, which found more favour with the public than with the press. On the previews side, there are a few previews next Wednesday for the upcoming Gerard Butler actioner Angel Has Fallen. See the previews page and remember to book :-) Enjoy :-) Released 16 August 2019 Playmobil: The Movie (3D) PG7-9 V Playmobil: The Movie PG7-9 V Blinded by the Light 13 LVP The Kitchen 16 LSVPD IAT Released 15 August 2019 * Batla House (Hindi) * Mission Mangal (Hindi) 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 ...)

The guilt is killing me. I just want to forget that it ever happened!” The hypnotherapist shakes his head. “Not again ...” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A pride of lions, a gaggle of geese … and here’s how we might classify these groups: * A brat of boys * A giggle of girls * A stagger of drunks * A tedium of accountants * A stitch of doctors * A whine of losers * A jerk of politicians --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions on Yahoo that will destroy your faith in humanity: * “Can I safely look at a picture of the sun?” * “How can I be sure I’m the real mom of my kid?” * “How do you get spaghetti stains out of underwear?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karate: the ancient Japanese art of getting people to buy lots of belts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- While at a convention, Bill, Jim, and Scott shared a hotel suite on the 75th floor. After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to find that the hotel elevators were broken and that they’d have to climb all the way up to their room. “I have a way to break the monotony,” said Bill. “I’ll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing songs for the next 25, and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way.” As they started walking up, Bill told his first joke. At the 26th floor, Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor, it was Scott’s turn. “I will tell my saddest story first,” he said. “Once there was a man who left the room key in the car.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How many telemarketers does it take to change a lightbulb?
