Robocop – Opens Friday 7 February
The year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones have been used overseas for years, and now they want to bring their controversial technology home. When cop Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnamanis) is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. Starring Joel Kinnimanis, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Abbie Cornish.
Showing at all good cinemas.
Joey Rasdien at Silverstar Casino – Friday 7 February
Joey Rasdien’s absurd yet thought-provoking stand-up comedy show tackles the touchy subject of evolution and how natural selection has blessed many of the figures that loom over South African life. Topics under scrutiny range from the devil and Charles Darwin to Julius Malema and Steven Hawking. Come and see Rasdien speak at length about his peculiar subject matter with a dose of his sane insanity. It’s sure to be hysterical, educational and provocative.
