“The key to a happy life is to accept you are never actually in control.”

The Film Board gathers! This month, we christen Jurassic World, the latest from Colin Trevorrow. Did Chris Pratt maintain his status as up-and-coming action hero of the decade? Did Bryce Dallas Howard embody 1980s sexism in the movies? Was Vincent D'Onofrio so much better in Daredevil? Is Jake Johnson your new best friend you’ve never actually met? We take on all these questions, and attempt to unpack the cultural identity of the film as a representation of the loss of control in society. Seriously. We do that. So go see the movie, then join in the fun!
