caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/rev...m-roth-20150604 FIFA has absolutely lost their minds with this "United Passions" movie coming out now. Talk about bad timing. Going to see Jurassic World tmrw (Wed) here in China...debuts two days earlier for some odd reason. Usually we are at least a week behind...or at least 2-3 days whenever a blockbuster movie debuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Jurassic World. 3/4 stars. Definitely worth watching, better than the 2 sequels. (Saw in 3D but not IMAX). Annoyingly predictable, but that's why we enjoy mindless summer popcorn movies like this one or San Andreas. Chris Pratt is quickly becoming the "go to" guy in Hollywood, the special effects are much better than 20 years ago (some accuse them of being too frantic, the director is most famous for Safety Not Guaranteed and tries to bring more of a human element that hearkens back with numerous references to the original movies. Motorcycle, Chris Pratt, sprinting dinosaurs: If you require more than that out of a movie, you're being unreasonable. Richard Roeper One of the best parts of this movie is the John Williams score...just hearing that music again, and reminiscing about the first Jurassic Park movie and the sense of wonderment about the universe created in that film was pretty darned cool to revisit.

caulfield12 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 http://pro.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2015-...rong-185m-start Jurassic World was originally projected to do $110-140 million. Revised all the way up to $180-220 million and breaking tons of records. Might be the third highest opening of all-time. Congrats to Chris Pratt...who's also reported to be the leading candidate to reprise the beloved role of Dr. Indiana Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storyline was whatever but it was funny and entertaining. My girlfriend who has never seen the show was very entertained. I saw it at a preview screening in April and it got a huge applause Edited June 13, 2015 by Joshua Strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Jurassic World was solid. Enjoyed it a lot. for a sequel I appreciate Hollywood not ramming the first movie down my throat. They had subtle nods here and there but no blatant BS just to appease the lowest denominator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) It would be nice if they had a kick ass "dino trainer" like Emily Blunt (just an example) and the man was the conservative, profit-driven corporate hack instead... Of course, that would be like expecting to see, instead of Selena Gomez wearing a Lolita-esque outfit with a skirt slit all the way up her leg while posing with Sandler and Kevin James (in sweatpants, to boot)...Meryl Streep or Helen Mirren instead. Would even settle for Diane Lane. Ah, Hollywood. Edited June 17, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Dallas Bryce Howard sort of evolved from conservative to bad ass. I don't think this is the type of movie to look that far into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think Love and Mercy was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Paul Dano makes for an amazing Brian Wilson sinking into a psychological break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 United Passions is now the biggest flop in american history, grossing $918 and costing $27M to make. I just saw a trailer for Turbo Kid, and all i can think is it looks like Scott Pilgrim meets Mad Max http://screenrant.com/turbo-kid-trailer-michael-ironside/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/inside_out_2015/ Who are the two idiots out of 135 who gave this movie a low rating? Has anyone ever heard of Ben Sachs from Chicago Reader? http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/insid...nt?oid=18038469 June 18, 2015 For all its clever touches, the personified emotions plot still feels like a story the school psychologist would've used to teach kids about their feelings. It feels simultaneously infantilized and aimed over kids' heads. Full Review | Original Score: C+ Vincent Mancini from FILM DRUNK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are some nice call backs to the original without it feeling too forced. What amazed me was that compared to the original, the dinos didn't look any more real than the original. That isn't a slight to this movie, but an amazing compliment to the original. JP NAILED the CG and practical effects so well that 20 years later, they cant do much better.

The Gooch Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I also appreciated the explanation in the movie that some of the dinos would look a lot different if he didn't genetically modify them. That covers why the Raptors are so big (even though they discovered some close to that size when the original was made) and why that one dinosaur has a weird neck thing and spits venom like substance.

I think that reference was dropped in to explain away the modern theory that many dinos had feathers. This has been "proven" since the original movie. There was some early criticism when the producers announce the dinos wouldn't have feathers. Obviously, they wanted continuity with the original movie, so they explained that away.
