Hi all Well the good news is that I have managed to re-enable click-through from the showtimes pages to Nu Metro's booking engine... consider it in beta for the moment and please double-check venue, movie, date and time before confirming the booking... The big release this week is the raucous comedy Blockers, while the kiddies can enjoy a view of Early Man. This week's almost-obligatory horror release is The Strangers: Prey at Night, while the art circuit offers a look at Deep Throat from the Watergate scandal back in the 1970s, and a family drama set in the wine industry in France. Bollywood offers a family crime drama (as opposed to a crime family drama). On the previews side, there are isolated previews next Wednesday for the chick-flick comedy I Feel Pretty (opening in the USA this weekend), and tomorrow Saturday for the upcoming Afrikaans adult comedy/drama Wonderlus. See the previews page and remember to book. Note this is a "short" week due to the mega long weekend next week, with two new releases opening next Thursday and Avengers: Infinity War next Friday. Enjoy :-) Released 20 April 2018 * Blockers (16 LSND) * Early Man (PG V) * Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (PG10-12 L) * The Strangers: Prey at Night (18 LVH) * Back to Burgundy (13 LSD) * Beyond the Clouds 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 (full HD wallpaper for your phone) Pick of the Week http://www.moviesite.co.za/pick.htm (to be decided shortly) All the previews.

I was maybe 2-1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident. Someone had given me a little tea set as a get-well gift and it was one of my favourite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of tea, which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mum came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was just the cutest thing! My Mum waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up. Then she says, (as only a mother would know), Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- During a commercial airline flight an Air Force Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon disembarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related impedimenta. When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby . . . and he sure was hungry!" Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears. The Air Force Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "What a shame. And all these years, I've been chewing gum." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mother is driving her little girl to her friend's house for a play date. 'Mommy,' the little girl asks how old she is. "You don't ask a lady her age,' the mother replied. 'It's not polite.' 'OK', the little girl says,'How much do you weigh?' 'Now really,' the mother says, 'those are personal questions and are really none of your business.' Undaunted, the little girl asks, 'Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?' 'That's enough questions, young lady! Honestly!' The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play. 'My Mom won't tell me anything about her,' the little girl says to her friend. 'Well,' says the friend, 'all you need to do is look at her driver's license. It's like a report card, it has everything on it.' Later that night the little girl says to her mother, 'I know how old you are. You are 32.' The mother is surprised and asks, 'How did you find that out? 'I also know that you weigh 130 pounds.' The mother is past surprised and shocked now. 'How in Heaven's name did you find that out?' 'And,' the little girl says triumphantly, 'I know why you and daddy got a divorce.' 'Oh really?' the mother asks. 'Why?' 'Because you got an F in s*x.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
