Movie-mania continues at the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park with Dukes of Hazzard and Monsters and Aliens being screened on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of its 'Dive In Movies' extravaganza.

Bo and Luke Duke are southern cousins. In Hazzard County, they help their Uncle Jesse and their sexy cousin Daisy run the 'moonshine' business and are always getting into trouble with Sherriff Roscoe P Coltrane as well as recklessly driving in their red car 'General Lee'.

Boss Hogg, the corrupt local county commissioner who hates The Dukes evicts the family from their farm. Bo and Duke travel to Atlanta and meet up with old friend Katie Johnson and her friend Annette as they set out to find out why Boss Hogg has evicted them from their farm and what he plans to do.

With local ace race car driver Billy Prickett in town to take part in the Hazzard Road Race rally, Bo and Luke set out to save their farm and foil Boss Hogg's scheme.

Saturday's film is an animation movie. When a meteorite from outer space hits a Californian woman named Susan Murphy and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.

As a last resort, under the guidance of General W R Monger, on a desperate order from The President, the motley crew of monsters is called into action to combat aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.

The popular big screen movies were launched last year for visitors to enjoy great family films while also experiencing the rides and picturesque environment.

Goonies will be screened on May 21, Harry Potter - The Half Blood Prince on May 22, Innerspace on May 28 and Sherlock Holmes on May 29. The 7pm screenings are included in the entrance price of BD14 for adults and BD5 for children less than 1.2 metres tall. Visit www.LPODwaterpark.com for more details.
