First Lines: Fernando Pessoa - The Book of Disquiet
(‘The Book of Disquiet’ at Blue Elephant Theatre)
I was born in a time when the majority of young people had lost faith in God, for the same reason their elders had had it - without knowing why.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
A decidedly odd couple with ulterior motives convince Dr. Alan Grant to go to Isla Sorna (the second InGen dinosaur lab.), resulting in an unexpected landing and unexpected new inhabitants on the island.
Moderately entertaining third part of the series, again the dinosaurs steal the show.

The Omega Man (1971)
An army doctor struggles to create a cure for the plague that wiped out most of the human race.
Classic doomsday thriller, by now no doubt a cult movie.
Monsters vs Aliens (2009)
A woman transformed into a giant after she is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day becomes part of a team of monsters sent in by the U.S. government to defeat an alien mastermind trying to take over Earth.
Enjoyable family entertainment successfully spoofing many classics of the sci-fi genre.

Monumental collection of cover versions which - despite some scepticism on my behalf - will hopefully still contain quite few interesting moments.
