The plot is your typical one – young girl heads off to college and tries to join a Sorority and is victimised by the Queen of the Sorority who just has it in for her.  I know, I know, ho hum – boring – but I didn’t think so…

Sydney White is not your typical, pack following teen girl – having been raised by her Dad since she was 9 (her Mum has passed away), Sydney can only be described as ‘tom boy’.  Her wish to join the sorority is simply so she can follow in Mum’s footsteps and be closer to her.  Having been ‘allowed’ to ‘pledge’ (all these terms we pick up from these movies), Sydney does not necessarily conform – doesn’t eat only rabbit food, but exhibits a strong healthy appetite that was great to see.  Sydney’s greagrious, care free nature soon makes her a favourite with the other Sorority Sisters and pledges – but intesifies the dislike of the Sorority Queen…. and results in her being refused entry to the Sorority.

After her unceremonious ejection from the Sorority, Sydney is befriended by 7, very nerdy (or dorky) guys.  These guys are the sort that will spend Saturday afternoon playing online role playing games, then re-enacting them – I’m sure you get the picture….

I won’t spoil the movie – I’ve given enough away for now – I recommend that you grab a copy today and watch it.

The movie is a great testimony to the power of positive thinking, persistence and a lot ingenuity – and it’s just plain fun.  A strong 8 out 10 stars for this one!

I’m sure others will think it weak and cheesey, but I liked the simplicity and relative cleaness of the movie.

My copy of Stargate Continuum finally arrived from Amazon.com today. I ordered it over two months ago and, due to me messing up my orders, it took a while to get to me.

However, it was well worth waiting for!

I adore the Stargate series – no matter how cheesey, or how full of holes people say it is, I think it is great stuff with some really great actors (not only good looking, but great actors).

Stargate Continuum is set sometime during or after Stargate Season 10 and deals with the machinations of Baal, the Goa’uld who features in Season 10, and his attempts to avoid extinction. Our intrepid SG1 adventurers, Sam Carter, Cam Mitchell and Daniel Jackson are caught in the middle of Baals planning and must use their combined brain and brawn to succeed.

I just love the interactions of the team – I always have done and I didn’t think too hard on the whole time paradox thing – the looming headache of trying to sort it out was too much to deal with! The story line though was fantastic and, I did pick one of the more obvious twists but missed the flow on effect.

Richard Dean Anderson (RDA) features in the movie as Jack O’Neill. RDA is fantastic as Jack O’Neill and he looses none of the appeal in this movie.

10 out of 10 for me! Great movie to unwind with. Highly recommended.
