Johnny English Reborn

Johnny English theatrical poster

Well, here we go again to the movies, this time for Johnny English Reborn, a sequel to the 2003 Johnny English.
2011 has been a hard year but 2012 won't be better...By now we are all in need of a good laugh to lighten our burdens and inspire new hopes. Let's meet old acquaintances and friends and have fun: humor and laughter are proven to strengthen our immune system, boost our energy, diminish pain, and protect us from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use - even though we have to pay the tickets ;) it's surely worthwhile.

Have a look at the trailer:

World Poetry Day

Every year on March 21 we celebrate WORLD POETRY DAY, a date declared by UNESCO in 1999.
The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout the world and, as the UNESCO session declaring the day says, to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements".
Bearing this in mind and to mark another performance by the Interacting theatre company to take place today, allow me to leave you with a poem - Yeah, what else today??? Laugh while you learn - so we hope today with the play "The World at War".

PRAYER TO LAUGHTER

O Laughter
giver of relaxed mouths

you who rule our belly with tickles
you who come when not called
you who can embarrass us at times

send us stitches in our sides

shake us til the water reaches our eyes

buckle our kness till we cannot stand

we whose faces are grim and shattered
we whose hearts are no longer hearty
O Laughter we beg you

crack us up

crack us up
