Great movie sites...

Looking for what to go see at the movies yesterday I stumbled across two sites that are well worth a look. The first is: http://www.moviesite.co.za/ , they have a review of the current movies and have a click through to the new and now much better Ster Kinekor website, where you can now actually book with out being as frustrated as a serial shopper is in the middle of bush.
