Foodie zombies take pictures of brains
before they eat them. First up….
Jurassic World
The great thing about Jurassic World is
that the vegetarian dinosaurs have all been transferred to Euro Jurassic World.
In fact, the carnivorous reptilians
populating this sci-fi adventure are designed to be even more ravenous.
With attendance waning, scientists at a
living dinosaur destination use DNA from predatory dinosaurs to conceive a
genetically altered apex predator to bring the crowds back to the remote island
resort.
But when the hungry hybrid escapes its
confines, the park’s operations manager (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her visiting
nephews (Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson) must rely on the resident Velociraptor
wrangler (Chris Pratt) to outwit their astute stalker.
A return to form for the dormant DNA
tampering franchise, what Jurassic World lacks in plot, character development
and plausibility, it makes up for in rapid pacing, salient visual effects and
nonstop thrills.
Incidentally, Jurassic World’s main
competition will always be that genetically modified Creationist theme
park. Green Light
Paper Towns
The convenient thing about a town made out
of paper is that it can easily be folded into a paper airplane and relocated.
Mind you, the mapmaking term is more of a
metaphor in this mystery.
After an unexpected adventure with Margo
(Cara Delevingne), the estranged neighbor he grew up but no longer talks to,
high school senior Quentin (Nat Wolff) is stunned when she doesn’t come to
school the next day, or the day after that.
Concerned over her disappearance, he and
his friends (Austin Abrams, Justice Smith) conduct an investigation based on
the cryptic clues she left behind.
Less than the soul stirring coming of age
story it hopes to be, this aptly acted adaptation of the popular YA novel
doesn’t cover any new gawky teen territory even with its missing persons
premise.
Moreover, when teen girls stop coming to
class it usually means they’re now teen moms.

***Stillbirth Day***
The Dunwich Horror
When you birth a monster the C in C-Section
stands for ‘clawed its way out’.
Mind you, the monstrosity in this horror
movie is rumored to have been a stillbirth.
Years after his insane mother brought him
and his malformed twin into this world, Wilbur (Dean Stockwell) appears on the
Miskatonic University campus in search of the Necronomicon.
Hypnotizing a student (Sandra Dee), he not
only gets her to hand over the magical textbook but to also accompany him back
to Dunwich, Massachusetts, where he plans to use it and her in an occult
ceremony to summon the otherworldly Old Ones to Earth.
Based on the H.P. Lovecraft short story,
B-Movie producer Roger Corman’s low budget interpretation is not the best
incarnation of the Outer Gods, but it’s not without its gothic charms.
Unfortunately, the crucifixes for these
tentacled gods will require way more nails than they did before.
He’s Kraken Knuckles. He’s the…
