Two things I've become a fan of this week

Two things I've become a fan of this week:

Stargate Universe (http://www.syfy.com/universe/): After watching the first three episodes of SGU, I'm convinced that it is the first series of the Stargate franchise to do justice to the original movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111282/) from back in 1994. Though I was a fan of Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, this newest incarnation has a dramatic edge and element of realism that the 1994 film had but was somewhat absent from the first two series.

Pirate Radio (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/): This is a great film for two hours of light entertainment. It is at times a little crude (hence the R rating), but the classic rock and roll soundtrack and great characters will bring out the rebel in anyone, without delving too deep (it is set on a ship, after all) into the issues of the time.

  1. Loved the sound track. How amazing that the UK -- with its more open-minded general population, but more narrow-minded governing body -- banned rock and roll, yet in the US this music was broadcast widely.
