Hi all We are having staggered releases this week. The Mario Bros opened on Wednesday, The Thorn opens today, and tomorrow sees the conventional teen and adult fare. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is loosely based on the popular video game franchise (which dates all the way back to the 1980s). The Thorn is a filmed version of the play of the same name, which is an interpretation of the Easter Passion story. One True Loves is a somewhat supernatural love story, while The Pope's Exorcist is definitely supernatural, with Russel Crowe. Air takes a look at the rise of Nike and their partnership with basketball legend Michael Jordan. Lastly, Bollyowood rolls out the crime thriller, Gumraah. Ster-Kinekor has started Throwback Thursdays, where they screen notable movies from the past at selected venues. Today you can catch the animated film Happy Feet, the classic Casablanca, Tom Cruise in Risky Business, and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder version). If you have not seen Casablanca, do yourself a favour and go and catch it on the big screen. It is probably the most quoted and referenced movie of all time, and benefits from repeated viewings. https://www.thereporter.com/2022/02/09/february-10-vallejo-vacaville-arts-and-entertainment-source-casablanca-leads-an-afi-list-of-top-100-movie-quotes/ No previews this week.

Unfortunately, she found difficultly fitting in with the group and ultimately couldn't handle living in that kind of environment. This did not surprise the elders of the group much. Indeed, as they were fond of saying: If you can't stand the peat, get out of the coven. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife and I were arguing one day. She screamed at me, "You hate my family!!! You've never said a single nice thing about them since we got married!" I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll say something nice about your family." "Good!" I smiled and said, "your mother-in-law is a hell of a lot nicer than my mother-in-law." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bartender says "We don't serve time travelers in here."
