JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION MOVIE REVIEW

Our fascination with dinosaurs will never go away. We accept the questionable science in the original Jurassic Park to recreate the dinos, because as much as we are repeatedly told and know deep inside what a horrible idea it would be to bring them back….we kinda totally want to anyway. Again and again and again. With decidedly diminishing returns. Now with the 6th movie in the franchise, director/writer Colin Trevorrow follows up on his promises from the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The beasties are loose and damn near everywhere across the globe which has caused no end of problems as you might expect. However, things, as always, fall back on Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as they have to rescue their adopted clone daughter (seriously) from a evil genetics corporation called BioSyn. But that’s not all. Giant Jurassic locusts are tearing up the world’s food supply and Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill are teamed up to prove that BioSyn is the genetic culprit. Sigh. Still, all that ridiculousness being said, Chris, Mars, Tessa, and Matt Frank genuinely sorta liked this one. I mean…sorta.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.
