Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - What To Do With The Dinosaurs?

It has been 3 years since dinosaurs were given light again with Jurassic World and it was a huge success. Thus the pressure of reopening this franchise would lead to more films in the future. This year, we are now given a follow up with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

However for this sequel, some of the cast have been changed leaving only the main ones like Owen (Chris Pratt) and laire (Bryce Dallas Howard) as the leads of this film. Though there are new cool characters added, they shine only because they filled up the gap of the characters  who left. 

Though it might spell the end of Isla Nublar where Jurassic World is, the dilemma now is either to keep the dinosaurs or not. Which gives way to people in the middle who wants to use them. So it becomes a film of Dino lovers, Dino poachers, and  Dino haters. Of course Owen and Claire are on the dinos side.

With its fresh, irreverent take on one of the most widely covered stories of the century, “The Big Short” transforms a dark chapter of American history into a riveting cautionary tale shot through with black humor and quirky characters.

REEL DEAL: Life of Pi REVIEW

It's 2013, and its also a great to see the line up of movies this year which many are also anticipating. And I am very happy to start the year with a movie which goes a notch higher with something really appealing with 20th Century Fox's Life of Pi.

Based on a novel by Yann Martel. Life of Pi takes us on a biographical story of Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel (Suraj Shama), as he goes on an unexpected turn of events with a shipwreck that killed his family and leaves him in a situation of surviving in the wide ocean in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. It becomes a fight for survival and struggle. Directed by Academy Award winner Ang Lee, brings to life the novel and turn it into a stunning visual feast great to see on 3D. With an interesting story and characters that many people can relate, proves to be a powerful and moving movie of the year.

There is also a lot of lessons that can be learned in the film, life lessons. And it also had some spiritual linkages that affirms faith and love of God. It might actually give you similar references with other films due to common scenes like the Sea, India, etc, however maintains the experience of the story and the movie itself by the connections it weaves into a tapestry of life itself.
