Hi all As we wind our way post-Halloween through the exam season, there's one wide release, one medium release and one very limited release. And nothing new for the kiddies. The wide release is Doctor Sleep, which picks up where Stephen King's novel The Shining (as opposed to the film) ended. This film does not have the "artistic disagreements" between author and film that The Shining had. Reviews have been generally positive, with the crowds rating it higher than the critics. The medium release is We Belong Together, which is a variation on the Fatal Attraction storyline, and which seems to have been released on TV in the USA. Lastly the limited release is the buddy-cop crime drama Black and Blue, about corruption in the police force. The subcontinent has two offerings this week, the Hindi comedy Bala, and the Tamil action thriller Kaithi. On the previews side, there are Girls-Night-Out type screenings for the relaunched Charlie's Angels series next Wednesday.

The doctor placed a monitor on my wife’s stomach, and we could hear the sound of a heartbeat. “That’s your little brother,” I told our daughter. “I know!” she replied. “Those are his footsteps.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents are justifiably upset when their children don’t get into the college of their choice. As an admissions counselor for a state university, I took a call from an irate mother demanding to know why her daughter had been turned down. Avoiding any mention of the report card full of Ds, I explained that her daughter just wasn’t as “competitive” as the admitted class. “Why doesn’t she try another school for a year and then transfer?” I suggested. “Another school!” exclaimed Mom. “Have you seen her grades?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question on second-grade math quiz: “Tony drank 1/6 of a glass of juice. Emily drank 1/4 of a glass of juice. Emily drank more. Explain.” My grandson’s answer: “She was more thirsty.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Give me a sentence about a public servant,” the teacher instructed her second-grade student. “The fireman came down the ladder pregnant,” he answered. “Um . . . do you know what pregnant means?” “Yes,” said the boy. “It means carrying a child.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The morning he began kindergarten, I told my son about the great adventure that awaited him. “You’re going to learn so many things,” I said, “like how to read and write!” When I picked him up from school later, I asked how it went. “Well,” he said, “I still can’t read or write.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teacher: What is an evangelist? Student: Someone who plays the evangelo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the Discovery Channel should be on a different channel every day. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker. I heard him mutter, “How did you get yourself into this?” Knowing he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support. “Are you okay?” I asked. “Can I help?” He lifted his head and replied, “I’ll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teacher: Why can’t freshwater fish live in salt water? Student: The salt would give them high blood pressure.
