Hi all The tail end of the spring break and more family-ish fare, kicking off with something for the kiddies, in the form of Abominable. The storyline is not entirely original but its well-executed and found favour with the press, so the little ones will enjoy it. Moving up the age ladder a bit, Teen Spirit is a crossover between the "A Star is Born" storyline with bits of Cinderella thrown in. Then we have two horror stories (in the run up to Halloween). The first is another variation on The Ring or Final Destination type idea, a who-dies next deathfest based around a Polaroid camera. For the adults, we have a more serious dark comedy/ horror which surprisingly (for the genre) got good reviews, in the form of Ready or Not. Rambo's fourth outing is now also showing in the 4DX variant for the full experience, and lastly, there is a doccie on famous opera singer Pavarotti on at the Nouveaus-and-similar venues. On the previews side, there are handful of previews for the award-winning and controversial Joker, which opens next week.

You’re Lutheran.” He hadn’t thought about that. So he considered his alternatives. After a few minutes, he asked, “Is Dracula a Lutheran?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After giving it a lot of thought, my son announced that he considered Halloween a far better holiday than Easter. “Why’s that?” my husband asked. “Because,” he said, “on Halloween, I’m given candy. Easter, I have to find it.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair, but hard, grader. One day I received a B minus on a theme paper. In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the Valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: “BE MINE.” The following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: “Thank you, but it’s still BE MINE-US.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In fourth grade, my son had a huge crush on a classmate. So for Valentine’s Day, he bought her a box of chocolates and took it into school. When I returned home from work, I found him on the couch eating the same box of candy. “What happened?” I asked. “Well, I thought about it for a long time,” he said between chews. “And I decided that, for now, I still like candy more than girls.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- En route to church to make his first confession, my nervous seven-year-old grandson asked me what he could expect. “Confession is where you tell all the bad things you’ve done to the priest,” I told him. He looked relieved. “Good. I haven’t done anything bad to the priest.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the British documentary 56 Up, a man shared that he had earned a law degree at Oxford. Then, in his thick English accent, he proudly proclaimed that he was now a “barrister.” My thirteen-year-old daughter wasn’t impressed. “So,” she said, “he spent all that effort getting an Oxford law degree, and now he works at Starbucks?”
