Hi all Sorry about the delay with the Ster-Kinekor showtimes this week. Still hoping to get it sorted out today. As per last week, we have some good movies opening this week. Let's kick off at the top end of the scale, with South Africa's official entry to the recent Oscars, Knuckle City. This adults-only film takes a look at the dark side of life two and half decades ago. Staying with the adult fare, we have another film version of the sci-fi classic novel The Invisible Man, which has been well received by press and public alike. The final entrant on the adult side is the gritty crime drama The Informer. For the families and kiddies, yet another classic novel hits the big screen in the form of The Call of the Wild, featuring a CGI dog instead of the usual Hollywood approach of using multiple real dogs in different parts of the film, because there's only so much you can teach any one dog to do. The public like this film better than the press. Then we have a new local documentary about the Gupta approach to winning friends and influencing people, titled How to Steal a Country. From Bollywood, we take a look at the issue of domestic violence in Thappad. There are previews all day Saturday for the next Disney/Pixar animated treat, Onward. See the previews page and remember to book.

Deeply concerned, I told him how my father had suffered a detached retina a few years earlier and had complained of similar symptoms prior to diagnosis. “This could be very serious,” I said. “You must see a doctor immediately.” “Or you could just turn the windshield wipers on,” replied the instructor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCENE: A MAN APPLYING FOR CREDIT AT A DEPARTMENT STORE. Clerk: What do you do for a living? Man: I’m a tree trimmer. Clerk: What do you do after Christmas? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I need to find new sources of jokes ... this whole Political Correctness madness means most jokes can now be considered offensive to someone somewhere... Apologies for this week.
