Hi all A month to Christmas, and for some, the shopping frenzy has started ... lucky you if you have cash to spare ... :-) More venues are open from this week, we're getting close to all open, at least over the weekends if not all week. This week sees three new release, an Oscar-qualifying run, and a preview. First up for the kiddies is 100% Wolf, an animated tale from Europe about the search for true identity. Then we have two adult films, the first is Jiu Jitsu, a violent actioner with Nicholas Cage in a minor role, while Let Him Go is a drama aimed more at the art end of the market. Then Lesotho's official entry for the Oscars, This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection, is having its qualifying run at a few venues. Lastly there are previews all over all day Saturday for the upcoming kiddie sequel, Bigfoot Family. See the previews page and remember to book. Enjoy! :-) Cheers, Ian New this week * 100% Wolf (PG7-9 V) * Jiu Jitsu (16 LV) * Let Him Go (16 VPD CT IAT) * This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection (PG10-12 V) 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 (HD cellphone wallpaper ...)

He replied, “What? They say ‘A, E, I, O, U?’ ” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My two children stayed at their grandparents’ house for a night. When they came back home, they woke up the next morning, came down to breakfast and started asking me for a bowl of “bye bye” cereal. Nonplussed, I gave my mum a call. “Ah-ha” she laughed. “They mean Cheerios!” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I overheard my daughter speaking to our next-door neighbours over the garden fence. They asked her which parent was the boss in our house. Chloe retorted, “Daddy”. But then added, “until Mummy gets home”. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Christmas Eve service at my church last year, the pastor, quizzing some children about the nativity, asked, “What gifts did the three wise men give the Christ child?” “Gold!” one child yelled. “Frankincense!” shouted another. After a pause, a third child asked, “Gift cards?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A girl recently said she recognised me from her vegetarian club, but I’ve never met herbivore. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I grow up I want to be a gambling counsellor. It’s the easiest job in the world. All you have to say is, “I bet you can’t quit!” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a tight budget? Experts agree the best way to save money on gift giving this holiday season is by alienating all your friends and family. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My internet went out for a while the other day. Met my family downstairs. They seem like nice people. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY WIFE: How many presents did you get wrapped? ME [PROUDLY]: Four. WIFE: In an hour? ME: They were oddly shaped. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can’t wait till New Year’s Day 2021. Then I can say hindsight is really 2020. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s good I never became a parent, because I overheard a guy saying that his son is grounded because he got all Cs on his latest report card. All I was thinking was that my son would be getting a hero’s dinner and a nice gift. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whenever I see a man with a beard, moustache and glasses, I think, There’s a man who has taken every precaution to avoid people doodling on photographs of him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was interviewing a young man for his security clearance. I knew that he’d been arrested for speeding a few years earlier, but he hadn’t said so on his application. When I asked him why, he said he didn’t think the arrest counted. “Why wouldn’t it count?” I asked. “Because I didn’t have a driver’s licence.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our nephew was getting married to a doctor’s daughter. At the wedding reception, her father stood to make his speech, which he had scribbled on a piece of scrap paper earlier. He stopped several times, overcome with what we could only assume were moments of deep emotion. But, after a particularly long pause, he explained, “I’m sorry. I can’t seem to read what I wrote. Is there by chance a pharmacist in the house?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife teaches young children. One of her pupils was wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompted my wife to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?” “No,” said the little girl. “I wear this for Mummy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERVIEWER: Would you call yourself a hard worker? ME: Absolutely. I make almost everything harder than it has to be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
