This Dreamworks claymation film hopes to take kids to Tweedy's Chicken Farm, where any hen that doesn't make her egg quota can meet a "fowl" fate. Ginger and her fellow hens, with the help of Rocky, a Yankee rooster, hatch a plan of escape before they end up fried. This send-up of the classic Steve McQueen film, The Great Escape, features more cool animated effects from the England-based Aardman Animations, the Academy Award-winning team behind the popular "Wallace and Gromit" shorts; Chicken Run marks their first full-length claymation feature. With Disney releasing its summer...

In early 1996, I reported in this very column that 4,000 pigeons had disappeared from Trafalgar Square, and I still don't know what happened to them. Could a phenomenon--some sort of Bermuda Triangle for small fowl--have swallowed up both the sooty waddlers in Trafalgar Square and the sleek homing pigeons who flew over the Mid-Atlantic states? The answer, I realized, might lie forever in a sort of phantom file of mine that's growing thicker and thicker--the lost follow-up. Meanwhile...

...under the floating fork of the adjacent table, as did the Grilled Veal Rib Chop with Marbled Mashed Potatoes and Natural Sage Jus ($29). The boldness of the flavors that come close to overwhelming the more delicate entree options would be perfectly tailored to accent the richer meat and fowl. Vegatarians need not feel unattended to: the Harvest Risotto of the night and the Sugar Pumpkin and Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter, Sage and Mascarpone are mouthwatering in the mere description...
