Hi all The Lion King had a very good debut last week, breaking records all over the world. This week is a bit more subdued than that, but at least two of the new films on offer are pretty good, going by the ratings. First up is the creep alligator thriller Crawl, which is apparently based on real events, and makes a change from Jaws-type movies. Reviews have been good. Staying with the horror end of the spectrum, Midsommar takes a look at how creepy some religious sects can be, with this Scandanavian-set thriller. Moving more to family-class releases, The Current War takes a look at the epic battle a century ago between the two powerhouse innovators who brought us domestic electricity and indoor lighting, without which our modern world would not exist. The last Hollywood film, on limited release, is another based-on-a-true- story tale of racial conflict and bonding in the USA, entitled The Best of Enemies. Finally Bollywood has two offerings, both comedy, with a dash of crime. No previews this week. I had some hate mail during the week because I forgot to mention last week that Cinema Nouveau Rosebank is closed for renovations. So please be advised that Cinema Nouveau Rosebank is closed for renovations .... :-) Enjoy :-) Released 26 July 2019 * Crawl (16 LVH) * The Current War (13 V) * Midsommar (18 LNSVDH) * The Best of Enemies (13 LVP) * Judgementall Hai Kya (Hindi) * Arjun Patiala (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 ...)

While everyone was concentrating on the task at hand, I held up a spare pin and asked, “Has anyone seen my grenade?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I lost my rifle, the Army charged me $85. That’s why in the Navy, the captain goes down with the ship. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After my niece returned from her second tour in Iraq, I remarked how beautiful her complexion looked. “What do you use on your face to keep it so smooth?” I asked. “Nothing,” she said. “I’ve been sandblasted.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A recruit thought he was special because he was an Eagle Scout. The drill instructor picked up on this and took him into the woods and made him build a nest. Then he had him squat over it in order to keep his eggs warm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My gunnery sergeant and I were inspecting a Marine training exercise when we spotted a second lieutenant ambling about. “Where is your foxhole, Lieutenant?” I asked. He snapped off a salute and responded, “I don’t know, sir!” Turning to the sergeant, he asked, “Gunnery, where is my foxhole?” “You’re standing in it, sir,” said the sergeant. “All you have to do is remove the dirt.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My son was born while I was serving abroad, so he was three before we met. When I got home, I decided it was time for a little father-son bonding time. I bought him a toy razor and invited him to “shave” with me. In the bathroom, I took up my razor and started shaving. I looked around to see how my son was doing. His foot was up on the side of the bathtub, and he was running the razor up and down his leg. So much for male bonding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The barbershop was crowded, so the woman at the cash register offered to put my name on the waiting list. “What is it?” she asked. “Stephen, with a P-H,” I said. Minutes later, a chair opened up, and my name was called: “Pheven?”
