Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Screening
I really do enjoy this new thing of showing classic films in the cinema. Over the last few years I’ve seen Die Hard, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman, Cabaret, and others.

Original Jurassic Park Breaks Box Office Records for the Fourth Time
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.

Concert Review – The Movie Music of John Williams
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.

Jurassic Park Ride Goes Extinct
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…

Movie Rewatch Review – Jurassic Park III
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
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.
