Newsletter and jokes 13 September 2019


 
Hi all 
 
Well exam season is behind us (I hope) as we head for the spring break. 
 
So unlike the last two weeks, we have more family-friendly fare, kicking 
off with the live-action version of the popular kiddie's animated series, 
Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Judging from the trailer, Dora can give 
Lara Croft a run for the money. 
 
That's joined by a remake of the popular Afrikaans novel (and setwork),  
Fiela se Kind, and another South African family drama, Losing Lerato. 
 
For the adults, we have the well-rated Hustlers, featuring Jennifer Lopez 
amongst other eye candy, while for the Hindi market we have a gender- 
bending rom-com. 
 
More local industry news is that South Africa has selected Jahmil X.T.  
Qubeka's “Knuckle City” as its submission for the international feature  
film category at the 2020 Oscars. The film won a best actor prize for star  
Bongile Mantsai at the Durban Film Festival. 
 
On the previews side, there are premieres next Thursday at selected venues 
for the upcoming Brad Pitt space drama Ad Astra, and most of Saturday at  
most places for Angry Birds 2. See the previews page and remember to book. 
 
Enjoy :-)
