Hi all An interesting lineup this week. First off is a blockbuster of major proportions, that puts anything made by Hollywood to shame ... it's the Tamil movie Kabali. You can read the details here on the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36863788 Then we have a new SA Afrikaans drama which looks at some big issues, and judging by the synopsis, might even allude to the whole Oscar Pistorius saga, if obtusely. One of this week's bigger releases is a horror film, which got surprisingly good reviews from the US media ... it also opens there today. The other big release is a faith-based drama, with two smaller releases rounding out the lineup. Last but not least is a treat for Queen and Freddie Mercury fans, with select screenings of the first live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, at a Queen concert in Bohemia way back in 1975 ... there are a limited number of screenings for this, at select theatres, so go and book now ... The Top Ten lists are a little delayed, I've queried one of the films on the list.

This is something that happened at an assisted living center. The people who lived there have small apartments but they all eat at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining area. An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast. When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first step so they called an ambulance for him. A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing. The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. 'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him.' Little Johnny asked, 'Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture ?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The years 1981 & 2005 are two interesting years* In 1981 1. Prince Charles got married. 2. Liverpool was crowned soccer Champions of Europe. 3. Australia lost the Ashes. 4. The Pope Died In 2005 1. Prince Charles got married. 2. Liverpool was crowned soccer Champions of Europe 3. Australia lost the Ashes tournament. 4. The Pope Died What does history teach us? What is the lesson learned? The next time Charlie intends to get married, someone better warn the Pope. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
