Hi all Apparently there is some rugby going on somewhere.... School is out and the kids need something to watch, and we've got it right here ... with a little something for everyone. First up for the little ones is the sequel to the popular videogame-to movie franchise The Angry Birds, with their creatively-titled The Angry Birds Movie 2, in both 2D and 3D. Moving both up-market and up-age, the beloved TV series Downton Abbey gets a chance on the big screen as a last hurrah, showing on the art circuit and related venues. The main adult release this week sees Brad Pitt heading off into outer space, in the well-rated sci-fi thriller Ad Astra. This would best be viewed on the bigger IMAX and 4DX screens. Then we have three 18+ movies, kicking off with what is probably Rambo's swansong, in Rambo: Last Blood. That's joined by two local films, the first is the gritty boxing-cum-crime drama Knuckly City, which is South Africa's official entry for the next Oscars, and retro gay army drama Moffie. Both of these are showing at one venue only. From the Indian subcontinent, we have a sporty rom-com called The Zoya Factor, and the Tamil action thriller Kaappaan. On the previews side, there are previews on Tuesday for the upcoming bio-doccie about opera singer Pavarotti. See the previews page and remember to book.

On her to-do list was a hair appointment for her daughter. “So, Katie,” said the stylist as the little girl got up in the chair, “who’s coming to your house this weekend with big ears and floppy feet?” Katie replied, “I think it’s my uncle Brian.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was doomed to fail, but last Easter, my husband tried unsuccessfully to get our young sons to have some lunch after they’d already stuffed themselves with a ton of chocolate eggs. “They’re not going to eat,” my mother-in-law told him. “It’s Easter Sunday. What do you expect, a miracle?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At an Easter-week meeting of Weight Watchers, a woman said proudly this was the first year her children realized that chocolate Easter bunnies came with ears. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Easter, my youngest daughter’s daycare teacher gave each of her pupils a little basket of chocolates carefully wrapped in cellophane. Before we were even out of the daycare center, I saw Jade, who was four at the time, trying to open the much-desired package. “Didn’t Chantal tell you not to eat them until you got home?” “Yes, she did,” said Jade, “but I didn’t hear her.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I must admit, I looked forward to our upcoming church service with greater anticipation than usual after reading in our bulletin, “This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Brown to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- During Thanksgiving dinner last year, my eight-year-old son watched intently as my husband carved the turkey. “Man,” he said in awe. “They must have fed bread to that turkey for months to get all that stuffing.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before Thanksgiving a Minnesota first-grade teacher asked her pupils to tell her what they had to be thankful for. “I am thankful,” said one small boy, “that I am not a turkey.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch you must first invent the universe.” CARL SAGAN
