I'm still rather on the fence with this one. I didn't read the book (nor do I plan to do so in the immediate future)but I'm curious to see what made this such a big hit among book readers. And yeah, fucking obvious that the leads have this Twilight-y vibe in them. 

To be distributed locally by Solar Entertainment.

Jurassic Park 4 Rebranded as Jurassic World, Gets 2015 Release Date

Fans of the dinosaur fest that is Jurassic Park should be happy to know that Universal Studios is pushing through with their plans for a fourth installment of the JURASSIC PARK franchise. The fourth movie though will be entitled "JURASSIC WORLD".


The dinosaur filled suspense flick has been given a release date of June 12, 2015 and it comes out in 3D. Nice.

Steven Spielberg will be returning as a producer for the movie while Colin Trevorrow will be directing. No details or synopsis yet but if it's any help the film will follow a script written by Derek Connolly together with director Trevorrow. And rumor has it that our dear friends from Legendary Pictures is also planning to shell out moolah for the film.

Some think that the movie's new title will be lame but I like it. It's actually a fresh shot in the arm that the franchise needs especially since it's up against Earth's Mightiest Heroes together with the World's Finest. Oh and I'm also excited with regards to what the studio picked out for the movie's main predator. I read an article that Trevorrow will be using a bigger monster; bigger than T-Rex and JP3's Spinosaurus so that could spell something like the recent find - the Giganotosaurus.



ScreenRant gave a few cool ideas as well [LINK]

Oblivion Review

Oblivion is a good movie with well-used special effects and packs a punch with it's non-linear storytelling but there's still something off with my review of the movie starring Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.


First of all, a big 'thank you' once again to Solar Entertainment for the invitation to see this awesome movie in advance.

Les Miserables Review - Don't Forget to Bring Some Tissue

Just got home from the SUCCESSFUL press screening of Les Miserables from Solar Entertainment and I'm making this the MOVIE OF THE MONTH.


And I mean success because the movie actually played this time not like what happened in Resorts World (I'm still sore with RW over that, but not with Solar just to be clear). 

So anyway before we wander away, here's a bit of history. The movie was based on a play which was based on the novel by French writer Victor Hugo. It's about life, liberty, freedom and spirituality and finding your strength no matter the odds.
