Newsletter and jokes 17 March 2023


 
Hi all 
 
It was the Oscars last week-end and off-beat arthouse comedy Everything  
Everywhere All It Once made a nearly clean sweep, taking 7 of the top 8  
Oscars. Well done :-)

It was also the Razzies, with Blonde, Morbius, and Elvis the big "winners."

The big release this week is the next episode from Shazam!, also on the big  
screens for your viewing pleasure. 
 
On the art-and-related circuit, we have the black gay military drama, The  
Inspection. 
 
Lastly, Bollywood heads north for a family drama, in Mrs. Chatterjee Vs  
Norway. 
 
Since we are now heading for the end of the first term, there are previews 
all over next Thursday for John Wick: Chapter 4, and also at selected  
venues for the Japanese anime Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village. 
 
Curiously this is rated 13 here, while the USA went with R and the UK, 15.
