Hi all And a happy Ides of March to you all ... I'm surprised the Yanks haven't commercialised it yet ... we can all dress up like Romans and carry large plastic knives around .... Nah, probably a bad idea.... :-) School is out and the kids are running wild ... in a manner of speaking. And so we have some typical holiday fare on offer this week, joining last week's arrive Captain Marvel, which is doing very well at the box office. First up for the kiddies is the animated funfair fest Wonder Park, which has not released Stateside yet. That's joined by Fighting With My Family, with The Rock in a supporting role. Despite the 13 LVD IAT Age Restriction it is said to be a great family movie. Then we have two very different local films, aimed at different markets. Firstly Die Stropers (aka The Harvesters) which was in the running to be our Oscar entrant, and then the boy-meets-girl-culture-clash surfing movie Deep End. Lastly Bollywood rolls out the family comedy Mere Pyare Prime Minister. No previews this week, but note that due to the holiday next Thursday, which, combined with the fact that it's school holidays so many people will be taking a long week-end, means that the new movies open on Wednesday next week. So this week only runs till next Tuesday. Enjoy :-) Releasing 15 March 2019 * Wonder Park (3D) (PG V) * Wonder Park (PG V) * Fighting with My Family (13 LVD IAT) * Die Stropers (16 LVPD) * Deep End (13 LVPD) * Mere Pyare Prime Minister (Hindi) 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 ...)

Obviously I love rock ’n’ roll, and I love music, but it’s nice to be in a world like professional wrestling, where I’m treated like a normal person.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My husband was at a dinner with colleagues, and one of them had too much to drink. Feeling drowsy, the poor man sank back into his chair and said, “I don’t feel good. I’m going into screen saver mode.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- While I was working as a store Santa, a boy asked me for an electric train set. “If you get your train,” I told him, “your dad is going to want to play with it too. Is that all right?” The boy became very quiet. So, moving the conversation along, I asked, “What else would you like Santa to bring you?” He promptly replied, “Another train.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My son is a firefighter. He and a few colleagues conducted fire-safety checks at a housing complex on what just happened to be Halloween. When they called on one elderly gentleman, he looked them up and down, and said, “You’re a bit too old for this, don’t you think?” and slammed the door on them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyst: I can give you the numbers, but you can’t go public with it. Marketing manager: I’m not going to go public with it. I’ll just present it at a meeting. Analyst: Who’s going to be at the meeting? Marketing manager: It’s a stakeholder meeting. So whoever wants to come. You know, it’s open to the public. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before LinkedIn, I didn’t know any strangers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My husband was leaving a diner just as it began to rain. Forgetting that he hadn’t brought an umbrella, he reached for the nearest one as he headed for the door. “That’s my umbrella,” a woman scolded. Embarrassed, he hurried off to work. Once there, he discovered three umbrellas that he had left at the office over the months and decided to bring them home at the end of the day. That afternoon, he ran into the woman from the diner. She took one look at the umbrellas and remarked, “You did real well for yourself today, didn’t you?”
