Review of film:  “JURASSIC PARK III”

Speaking about love & hate, that seems to be^, a critical element of  the film "JURASSIC PARK III”:  the love of their son brings together 2 divorced parents (BILL MACY & TEA LEONI) to enlist the aid of one of the original “Park” explorers (SAM NEILL) to find their son who’s missing on one of the “new" dinosaur-“encrusted” islands...

...  Typically, there's a slew of evil men (who soon know the "Jaws of Reptilian REPENTANCE"), the misguided assistant (played by ALLESANDRO NIVOLA) who foolishly picks up some Raptor eggs  as they journey around the island, & much ado about Lizard Avoidance techniques... 

...  If you love state-of-the-art  special effects or effectively-done action films, you should LOVE this Paean to Ancient Animals...

...   The overall story has been "done before" (as clearly indicated by the “III” titling), but it’s seldom been done BETTER...  

...  And you DON’T have to suffer thru the [maddeningly] “detached” acting of Jeff Goldblurn, who is thankfully NOT in this 7.5 star [of 10] version of the series...

Report on DVD release: “WAYNE’S WORLD” 1 & 2

Report on DVD release: “WAYNE’S WORLD” 1 & 2

[4th DVD commentary:]  ... If you want to see

 some really ENJOYABLE comedy work, I recommend you "schwing" into the video releases of “WAYNE’S WORLD” & its sequel "W-W 2" [“WAYNE’S WORLD 2”], starring MIKE MYERS in his pre-“Austin‑Powers” days..

...  The initial video has [Aurora, IL-based] cable-TV "stars" Wayne (Mike) & Garth (DANA CARVEY) wooed by a sneaky, smarmy TV producer (ROB LOWE).

...  With its take-offs on other films, it’s good-natured NUTTY ridiculousness, and its catchy lines ( “No way.”  “WAY!”, etc.), this is a [clever] comedy you can truly get PLEASURE from...

...  The same is true of the SEQUEL, with its take-off of the Village People’s [famous]  "YMCA” [song] number as the guys try to produce a rock concert with Aerosmith called “WAYNESTOCK”, while an evil record producer (CHRISTOPHER WALKEN) tries to foil them [in their plans]...

...  Yeah, these films are SILLY--  but they’re MEANT to be that way, & succeed in being FUNNY in an easy-going way...  On the “widescreen” versions, both of these 7.5-of-10 star films have Director commentaries [plus] cast & crew interviews [as Special features]...
