40Cent @ the movies

Man I want to see this one, but I suspect I'll be waiting until it eventually hits Netflix.

After the debacle that was Jurassic Park III, I wasn't expecting to want to see this. But it actually looks decent.

The heels thing has been a common complaint around the web.

I think you look great in them.

For my sake try flats once in a while.

Jurassic Park (first one) is one of those timeless classics that never looks old, even by today's standards.  I could watch it and re-read the book and still be entertained.

Went to see Jurassic World last night with the (future) Missus.  It was in 3-D, which usually lowers the likability factor for me, but, they did a very good job of it, I thought.  The story is very Hollywood formulaic.  All the tropes are there but well put together.  I only found myself checking my watch once, and that was towards the end of the movie.  I had two minor quibbles, the first being, the heroine made it through strenuous terrain and physical exertion in high heels.  Second, the switching of allegiance by some of the characters with no explanation.  Trying not to give anything away, the group starts off allied to one character and then switches to another.  The reason for the first switch is explained and I was fine with it.  Then, at the climactic battle, they switch back to their original allegiance with no explanation given.  Other than that, it was visually pleasing and well paced and a 'summer blockbuster,' in every sense of the words.  30/40

Agreed on all points, except the 3D.  I dig it, even thought it usually is a waste of money.

No way. The heels pop all your back pimples.

That's why we're friends :)  How did 40 Jr. like it?

[Centurion40]

He loved it, start-to-finish.

I just watched 'Jupiter Ascending' and, despite all the poor reviews it received, I must admit, I quite enjoyed it.

Jurassic World has paleontologists in an uproar, but WTF did they expect from a summer blockbuster movie? Accuracy?

Sadly, Michael Crichton is no longer with us to keep the 'Jurassic' films honest.

Maybe if the dinosaurs were gay, transgender, or transracial; the paleontologists grievances would be heard.

And a woman.

And on the 'new' $10 bill.
