Original Jurassic Park Breaks Box Office Records for the Fourth Time

June 24, 2020

You just can’t keep a 9 ton Tyrannosaurus rex down. Universal Pictures released Jurassic Park — the 1993 original — four times in theaters over the last 27 years. And every single time, it trampled box office records. Including last weekend, which is notable for several reasons: It was Father’s Day weekend, typically a huge […]

Concert Review – The Movie Music of John Williams

September 10, 2018

I’m not a huge fan of live music, but I AM a movie lover. The best, most iconic movies are usually supported by an amazing soundtrack. Think of some of the top films of our time…now imagine them without a stirring score. Imagine the 1977 Star Wars without The Imperial March, or Luke Skywalker’s Theme. […]

Jurassic Park Ride Goes Extinct

September 7, 2018

I got to return to the CA Universal’s Jurassic Park ride this summer, before it closed, not knowing it was on its way out. The ride, yes, felt old and needed refreshing (many of the dinosaurs weren’t moving anymore), but it was still a joyous experience. I even wrote it up on RunPee. I guess I […]

Dinosaurs and Mead in San Diego: Bronto Brewery

July 10, 2018

Where can you have a serious sword fight beneath the skeleton of a T-Rex, drinking handcrafted mead from ancient recipes, play geeky games, and watch classic sci-fi movies? That would be the Bronto Brew Meadery in San Diego. The owners are certified geeks, just like their patrons, and if that sounds like you, then you’re […]

Everything Wrong With The Jurassic Movies (YouTube series)

July 7, 2018

YouTube has some ongoing series related to movies that are so clever and fun, like the Honest Trailers, or How It Should Have Ended. Here we have the Everything Wrong With shorts (each about 15 minutes). [pullquote]These are funny and insightful, and if some of the nits they pick are petty[/pullquote], even they admit some […]

Movie Rewatch Review – Jurassic Park III

July 6, 2018

I finally made the effort to rewatch Jurassic Park III – something always came up to distract me, and I’m easily distracted if I don’t want to see the movie in question. But I’m glad I did it: the movie isn’t so bad once you’re aware of the retched parts. It’s like rewatching Star Wars: […]

Movie Rewatch Attempt – Jurassic Park III

June 24, 2018

Known and reviled by most as the “worst Jurassic movie,” I sit here and wait for a for Jurassic Park III rewatch at the most dinosaur-themed brewpub I’ve ever seen, The Bronto Meadery in San Diego. Bronto Meadery is hosting a viewing all four Jurassic movies before Fallen Kingdom weekend hits the US, drinking handcrafted […]

Poll results will drop in when the time limit is up, but feel free to head to Twitter and add […]

Movie Rewatch: Jurassic Park – The Lost World

June 19, 2018

While enjoying a lovely pint of hand crafted mead at the San Diego Bronto Brew Meadery, I got to view a free social rewatch of the entire Jurassic oeuvre. With Jurassic World 2: Fallen Kingdom opening in the US this week, that’s five fun movies. Or, well, some fun movies and one that sucked (Hi, JP III). […]

Review: Jurassic Park Ride at Universal Studios

June 18, 2018

I love dinosaurs. I was a dino geek before dinosaurs were cool, and to make me stand out even further, I was a “just a girl”. Girls who were geeks in the 70s were a rare breed. Fortunately, I was also a Klingon, so efforts to bully me landed on deaf ears. 🙂 [pullquote]Hell, I […]
