Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple.
“Prometheus”
Idris Elba stars in this sci-fi movie that takes place somewhere in the distant universe. While the trailers don’t tell you much – and that’s a good thing – Ridley Scott of “Alien” film directed so you can figure he’s got the spooky, spacy, alternate universe thing down to a science. The acting talent includes Elba, Charlize Theron and hot Brit Michael Fassbender so there must be some storyline going along with all the action. And the movie is rated “R” so there must be some truly scary parts. Sounds like a great date movie to us.
