Sequel to the late 90s/early noughties (edit: the year 2000, to be precise) family-friendly Aardman Animations flick, which itself was a riff on The Great Escape and starred a then-still-in-vogue Mel Gibson as the voice of Rocky the Rooster.

Here, Gibson is replaced by Zachary Levi, with the film set a good few years (decades?) on from the original, and with Rocky and Ginger now having a kid of their own and living - alongside the other escapees - on a remote island. Until such time as their kid goes exploring the mainland and has a run-in with a face from their past ...

Inoffensive stuff, by and large - although parts (specifically the 'Stepford Wives' collaring/mind control bits - might be a bit too strong for the younger ones in the audience!

Good Dirt is the story of a family tragedy and how it shapes the lives of the remaining family. The timeline is a bit all over the place: Ebby’s flight to France after her fiancé doesn’t turn up to their lavish wedding in the present, the house intrusion in the present past, Ebby’s family history in the distant past (Africa, slavery and escape). Now, I’m a fan of multiple timelines, but these were a bit too disjointed, and it did require a bit of concentration (especially on a dog walk). This may well be a different experience if you read the book, but I struggled a bit, and had to keep checking chapter headings and rewinding now and again. Perhaps this was just the wrong time to listen to it. I did like the story, though.

Stargate- is a good action sci-fi flick. I know alot of people werent the biggest fans of this film, but i thought it was good.

The plot: In modern-day Egypt, professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) teams up with retired Army Col. Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) to unlock the code of an interstellar gateway to an ancient Egypt-like world. They arrive on a planet ruled by the despotic Ra (Jaye Davidson), who holds the key to the Earth travelers' safe return. Now, in order to escape from their intergalactic purgatory, Jackson and O'Neil must convince the planet's people that Ra must be overthrown.

Like i said its a good sci-fi flick.
