Jurassic World

Hello Everyone,

SPOILER ALERT!!!

     Welcome to the first review of this blog.Now I am about to take you back to 1993 when the Jurassic Park franchise started. I know that it you watch Parks and Recreational or just enjoy to laugh at Chris Pratt then you will enjoy reading about this film. And if you like to watch dinosaurs running around eating people then this is the review you should be reading. Now lets get started reviewing Jurassic World.

     Now the reason I started this blog with a review of "Jurassic World" is because it is the Summer block buster and because it is the forth film of the Jurassic Park franchise. And because it is about dinosaurs, who wouldn't want to read about that. The first time I saw the trailer I was instantly hooked mostly because I was a fan of the first three Jurassic Park films so I was excited to see the story continue. I really like that in this one, we get to see the full scale theme park that Hammond from the first film was shooting for. And now we finally get to see his vision come to life, it also brought the whole franchise full circle. I also really like the fact that to get more people to visit the park, Bryce Howard's character creates a even more dangerous dinosaur. Because for one it shows what real theme parks do to get more people to visit their park. They create new gimmicks, the only difference in real life the new gimmicks usually don't involved dinosaurs attacking people. The second reason I enjoyed the creation of a insanely dangerous dinosaur is because its fun watching characters keep making the same mistakes. It makes me as the audience want to jump in the movie and yell at them "don't do it." The only thing that gets me is if that were real life the people in charge of the theme park would be slap with so many lawsuits and yet in the movie; nothing.

     And now lets talk about the acting. I have heard that some people have been complaining about the younger brother behaves. But I didn't think he was that bad, I think some people didn't like the fact that he kept spouting out random facts. But here is what I thought, all those facts he kept saying just kept saving their lives. So how can you complain about something that keeps saving the characters that you are becoming invested in  lives. Or maybe you wanted the kid to get eaten, I am not here to judge. The older brother was just the typical teenage angst brother with a bad attitude but there is more to him as the movie goes on. Bryce Howard who is the daughter of director Ron Howard was entertaining. She is a tough, brave and at time slightly scary woman that can hold her own in any situation. But at the some time can also take crap from Chris Pratt's characters and also dish some of own back at him. Even thought this is an action film there is a the romance between the lead male and female characters and how they fall in love with each other. So all of you who love the romance will enjoy that part of the film. And lastly Chris Pratt is just overall really good in the movie. When I saw Chris Pratt in the trailer I was thinking "well he pulled off Guardians of the Galaxy I think he will pull off this." And I was right, he had funny moments and he nailed those but he also pulled off the action moments. He also pulled off the love/romance parts but that could have been Chris Pratt just being Chris Pratt and not so much acting just kidding. LOL! Chris Pratt is really making a name for himself since Parks and Recreational. He did have one cheesy line at the end, but oh well it just made it funny.

     Jurassic World is a thrilling action film that all the Jurassic park, romance, or dinosaurs fans in general will have fun watching. So if you want to go to the movies this Summer I would recommend you go see Jurassic World. Plus its Chris Pratt!

Introduction

Hello Everyone,

     I am a recent college graduate from Cal State Los Angeles. Class of 2015 rocks! LOL! I majored in Television, Film and Media Studies so I thought it would be fun and a possible way to get my foot in the door in the film industry plus I really like to write. Anyway I thought it be fun to start a blog based on movies and television show reviews. This blog will tell my thoughts, production value, content, acting etc. on the film and shows I review. So if your a person who enjoys movies and television then this is the blog for you. So sit back, relax and enjoy reading about some good film and T.V. or some not so good, I'll leave it up to you to decide. After all everyone has a difference in opinion.

     Let me tell you a little bit about myself. Like I said I am a recent college graduate from Cal State Los Angeles, I majored in Television, Film and Media Studies. I would like to do film but I am actually leaning towards television. Because I really do think this is the golden age of T.V. My dream would be to be a writer, director and actor. But I at least would like to be a writer. I am currently working on a script based on the Stepmother from "Cinderella", her side of the story. So like "Wicked" but in my story the Stepmother is still the antagonist (villain). I am also a bit of a Science Fiction geek, it is one my favorite genres. And one of my favorite shows is "Doctor Who" and yes I will be reviewing it at some point so for those of you that are not familiar with the show, stay tuned you will find out soon.

     Some of my other favorite genres are: fantasy, I love "Harry Potter" it is what got me into reading. I also like action, adventure, western, and also satire or parody. Some of mine other interests include:reading, music, and anything DC comics or Marvel. Now enough about me, lets get to the reviews.
