Film ReviewSonic The Hedgehog 2

Directed by: Jeff Fowler Stars: Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, Jim Carrey, Colleen O’Shaughnessy Rating: PG

Not many video game movies have been great, so when Sonic immediately sparked backlash in 2019 with a radical reimagining of the speedy hedgehog, it didn’t bode well. Thankfully, director Jeff Fowler went back to the drawing board (literally) – and the film ended up a surprise hit at the box office.

Fast-forward two-and-a-half years and the electric blue video game character is back with a sequel.

As far as the plot goes, it’s hardly rocket science. Ben Schwartz portrays Sonic as your stereotypical teen upstart who desperately wants to play at being the hero, while father figure Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) tries to keep him safe.

Meanwhile, moustache-twirling villain Dr Robotnik (Jim Carrey) is recovering from his climactic fight with Sonic at the end of the last movie. He gets rescued from exile on the Mushroom Planet by a new ally, Knuckles the Echinda (Idris Elba), and they seek an emerald which will give them untold power. It’s left to Sonic and his new/old pal Tails (the fan-favourite flying fox, played by Colleen O’Shaughnessy) to thwart them and save Earth.

Halting Erosion Using Vetiver From Vetiver Spain

Our Nursery is open by appointment only depending on the current travel restrictions. We have Moringa seedlings, Organic Moringa powder and Comfrey plants. We also have some local trees and some exotic trees from Africa.

Vetiver is a rapid growing and non-invasive sterile clump grass with a height of 1-2 metres and a root system of 3-4 metres in depth. We have been providing Vetiver throughout the EU for almost 10 years now. We are located in Sayalonga where we can plant year round but our best results by far start in February. The reason is that Vetiver is indigenous to India and Vetiver loves the heat of the summer. Use Vetiver cuttings as mulch around all of your fruit trees.

Decomposing Vetiver improves soil quality, keeps the weeds down and the insects away all while helping to maintain soil moisture.

Vetiver is a nutritious and replenishable animal fodder. Horses and pigs love it. We use it in our chicken pens replacing hay because it stops mites. In these 2 photos you will see land prepared for Vetiver and the results 2 years later.

We also use Vetiver along driveways and sidewalks. It also makes a great and inexpensive ornamental hedge

Here is a link to a short video showing the results. https://youtu.be/rjTmb_LL2uo We suggest planting now, as this is the BEST time of the year to plant. To see more images of Vetiver go to this link. https://www.vetiverspain.org/photo-gallery.html
