Hi all We're heading for the home stretch as exams wind down, and we have some historic motor racing action to rev things up. The film Ford v Ferrari opens today, also on the big IMAX screens. It was released in some markets as Le Mans 66, and opened at the top of the US box office last week, while Charlie's Angels had a disasterous start stateside. It did okay here though. The rest of the line-up is for the adults, kicking off with Jexi, which is about what happens when your personal assistent on your phone starts to get a little too personal. That's joined by a new local thriller about how bad decisions can spiral out of control, Cut-Out Girls. On the art circuit, we have a French comedy from 2017, starring screen legends Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve, entitled Nobody's Perfect! Bollywood has an action comedy called Pagalpanti. There are some premieres next Thursday at selected venues for the upcoming Agatha-Christie style murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, called Knives Out. See the previews page and remember to book. Also running at the moment is the Joburg Film Festival, mainly at Sandton City and Cinema Nouveau Rosebank. Some of the films screening are coming to the main ciruit later, like 21 Bridges, Jojo Rabbit and probably Harriet,so if you want to catch them early, there's your chance.

You never had favourites. You were mean to everyone.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- During our computer class, the teacher chastised one boy for talking to the girl sitting next to him. “I was just asking her a question,” the boy said. “If you have a question, ask me,” the teacher tersely replied. “Okay,” he answered. “Do you want to go out with me Friday night?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A friend was assigned a new post teaching English to inmates in prison. Feeling a little nervous on his first day, he began by asking the class a basic question: “Now, who can tell me what a sentence is?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My parents sent me to military school in Switzerland. There they taught me how to be neutral. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kids have a greater need for speed than classroom computers can deliver. Impatient to turn in his term paper, one restless student kept clicking the “Print” command. The printer started to churn out copy after copy of the kid’s ten-page report. The topic? “Save Our Trees.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teacher: Millie, give me a sentence starting with i. Millie: I is . . . Teacher: No, Millie. Always say, “I am.” Millie: Okay, I am the ninth letter of the alphabet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You just can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When my sister was in high school, she went out with the captain of the chess team. My parents loved him ’cause they figured any guy who took three hours to make a move was okay. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the first day of Hebrew School the teacher finished the lessons and asked for questions. “I’ve got one,” said a boy. “According to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?” “That’s right,” said the teacher. “And the Children of Israel defeated the Philistines and the Egyptians and they built the temple, and they were always doing something important, right?” “All of that is correct,” agreed the instructor. “So what’s the question?” “Well,” demanded the boy. “What were the grownups doing?”
