John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), CEO of the genetic
engineering company InGen, is a true visionary.
Though his reach often far exceeds his grasp, he’s never been one to
reign himself in. One such case is his
latest endeavor. He hopes to create a
theme park featuring real dinosaurs. The
geneticists under his employ allow him to realize this dream. However, a tragic accident involving one of
the beasts gives his benefactors pause.
In order to put them at ease, he invites paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant
(Sam Neill), paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Mathematician Dr.
Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), and attorney Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero) to his
park. With their endorsement, things
will continue as planned. Alas, an act
of sabotage causes their excursion to take deadly turn. Suddenly, the island’s prehistoric
inhabitants are allowed free range of the park, and all human beings become
subject to the laws of a long forgotten age.

Movie Review: Evil Dead (2013)
Young Mia (Jane Levy) has been caught in the throes of
heroin addiction for far too long, and prior attempts to kick the habit have
failed miserably. As part of a
self-imposed detoxification process, she retreats to a secluded cabin in the
woods. She’s accompanied by her friends
Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Olivia (Jessica Lucas). Upon arrival, the trio is joined by Mia’s
estranged older brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) and his girlfriend Natalie
(Elizabeth Blackmore). Things take a
horrific turn when the Naturon Demonto
(Aka The Necronomicon) is discovered in
the cabin’s basement. Soon after, a
malevolent demon is unleashed upon the cabin’s inhabitants. As the intended intervention turns into a
night of unrelenting terror, Mia is forced to fight for her mortal soul.
