Here are a few other films that I have seen and rated. For some of the films I will write a brief sentence or so on what I thought. Reviewer: Pat Brennan ***GREAT FILM*** Jurassic Park (1993) Rating: 4/4 Director: Steven Spielberg Writers: Michael Crichton & David Koepp Cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Samuel L. Jackson, Wayne Knight - Steven Spielberg's Sci-fi/Adventure, Jurassic Park, is highly regarded as one of the defining films over the last 25 years. The story centers around a tour of a futuristic theme park, created by John Hammond (Attenborough), that inhabits cloned dinosaurs as the main attraction. When a major power outage causes the dinosaurs to escape their enclosures, everyone on the island must find a way off before they are killed. The film tackles the theme of "Man vs. Nature vs. Technology" with the idea that Man cannot just create things, or species in this case, just because they have the ability to. They cannot be too quick to judge and control those creations because Nature always finds a way, which in this case it turns around to literally bit them in the ass. Spielberg has created a world that is very realistic and allows the audience to also take a tour of the park to see how dangerous these dinosaurs can be. This is truly a film that has influenced many young filmmakers in the world today and it is a landmark of an achievement. Spielberg is a master filmmaker. ——————————————– Neighbors (2014) Rating: 3/4 Director: Nicolas Stoller Writers: Andrew J. Cohen & Brenden O"Brien Cast: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Dave Franco, Ike Barenholtz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Halston Sage, Carla Gallo ——————————————– Transformers (2007) Rating: 3.5/4 Director: Michael Bay Writers: Roberto Orci & Alex Kutzman Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rachael Taylor, Anthony Anderson, Jon Voight, John Turturro, Michael O'Neill - This is probably the only Transformers film that is worth watching. Bay is able to generate a world where the audience is thrown right into action sequences that blend Sci-Fi with reality. I am not the biggest fan of Bay, but I have to admit that I did enjoy this film quite a bit. I think that every actor plays their role perfectly and of course robots fighting one another is enough entertainment to draw just about anyone. Like I said, this is the only Transformers film to really give a chance because it was just an entirely fascinating idea; to create a toy that has been enjoyed by so many children and turn it into a billion dollar franchise. Truly a remarkable feat. ——————————————– 22 Jump Street (2014)
Rating: 3/4 Directors: Phil Lord & Christopher Miller Writers: Michael Becall, Oren Uziel & Rodney Rothman Cast: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Peter Stormare, Wyatt Russell, Amber Stevens West, Ice Cube, Jillian Bell, The Lucas Brothers, Nick Offerman ——————————————–
