Hi all June already, guess that means it is winter... I see some stores already have winter clothes on special so I guess they're expecting an early spring ... We're taking a break from US summer blockbusters this week, in preparation for next week's Jurassic return. First up is the gritty local crime drama Nommer 37, based on a multi-award-winning short film of the same name. Joining it in the "crime" genre is this week's arthouse release, Chappaquiddick, about Ted Kennedy's strange behaviour after driving into a river with two women in the car. The Hollywood commercial releases also touch on crime in different ways, one being the comedy remake of Overboard, and the other a reverse take on Safe Room, namely Breaking In. Even Bollywood gets in with the crime angle, as Bhavesh Joshi Superhero does the Indian take on Batman, while for the women, we get the comedy Veere di Wedding, which insists that it is not a chick flick but it is. Note that I don't have the trailer for this film because there are no "clean" trailers available ... they all have too much crude language. On the previews side, there are launch premieres for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom at Sandton City next Wednesday. See the previews page and remember to book.

He looked up and said weakly: 'I have something I must confess.' 'There's no need to, 'his wife replied. 'No,' he insisted, 'I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!' 'I know,' she replied. 'Now just rest and let the poison work.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A guy and his wife were playing 18 holes of golf. It was a beautiful sunny day and they had the entire course to themselves. When he was about to hit off at the 13th hole, he collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest, having a heart attack. Despite the fact that he was 6'2" and weighed 18 stone, she picked him up, put him on her shoulders and headed for the clubhouse. She eventually arrived at the clubhouse still carrying her huge husband on her shoulders. Two other club members arrived and helped carry him inside, called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. "How could you carry such a huge man on your shoulders from the 13th hole?" the Club President asked the wife in amazement. "Wasn't it difficult?" "Yes", said the wife, "but carrying him wasn't the hard part. It was picking him up and putting him down after each shot that was difficult." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
