Blu-ray Review: Event Horizon (1997)

Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is brought on board the Lewis and Clark, a deep space rescue vessel under the command of the no-nonsense Captain Miller (the legendary Laurence Fishburne); the mission at hand: explore the Event Horizon… a ship (shaped like a massive crucifix no less) Weir designed that went missing near a black hole seven years prior… before mysteriously re-appearing, which 9 out of 10 dentists will agree “es no bueno”. Naturally, the blue-collar spacers aren’t in any way equipped to handle what they encounter on that doomed ship; namely, an evil presence that tortures them with horrific hallucinations before moving on to forced suicide and oh so very many more nasty surprises! Will Miller and his crew have the sinister sack to survive this hell off (waaay off) Earth scenario, or will they come to lament their joltin’ journey into extra-terrestrial terror? On the special features of this very release; Event Horizon‘s scribe, Philip Eisner, said he

New ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Poster Reveals New Release Date

Jurassic World: Dominion has now joined the ever-growing list of films delayed due to the pandemic. Originally set to open in theaters in June of 2021, the highly anticipated sequel has now been pushed back to June 10, 2022. The film is set to wrap production in three weeks, according to Deadline, meaning the delay probably has more to do with theaters struggling. It has long been stated that Dominion would be the last film for the franchise, but producer Frank Marshall has teased that Dominion is just the beginning and that Dominion will start “a new era” for the franchise. It’s the start of a new era,” Marshall told the site this week. “The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope.” The last installment, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with a cliffhanger and dinosaurs running into our world for the first time. Jurassic World: Dominion, directed by Colin

Game Review: ‘Jurassic World Evolution: Return To Jurassic Park’ Takes You Back To 1993

The latest DLC for Frontier Development’s business/theme park simulation Jurassic World Evolution is possibly its biggest yet! The “Return to Jurassic Park” DLC brings back Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum in their iconic roles from the film series and picks up where their first adventure left off. In the game, players return to Isla Nublar to help Drs Grant and Sattler, and Ian Malcolm as they’re helping John Hammond to get control back of the island, repair damaged facilities, and get dinosaurs under control so the park can finally open to the public. The story also includes a young Cabot Finch who is in charge of finances in the main game but in the DLC is Hammond’s intern. The DLC not only has the buildings from 1993 (that can be carried over into the main game) but two new dinosaurs, the Compys and Pterandons, and two new attractions, the self-driving tour jeeps from the first film, and the

It’s time to get nostalgic, and by getting nostalgic I mean going back to Jurassic Park for real this time in Jurassic World Evolution’s upcoming DLC Return to Jurassic Park! Fans of the 1993 film will be happy to hear the voices of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum reprising their roles as players are tasked with restoring the original park to its former glory and reopening the famed torch-lined gates again to guests! Included in the DLC are seven new story missions that will unlock the abilities to create new buildings such as the visitor center from the first film and the dreaded aviary from the third! With that said you can’t have an empty aviary in your park, so one of the new dinos you can clone is the Pteranodon! Along with the new flying-dino, there will be the Compsognathus (Compy) the cute tiny lizard that’s scarier in large numbers made famous from the film’s second installment.

Original Jurassic Park Cast Returning For Jurassic World 3

In a time where nostalgia is fueling reboot after reboot, one thing we can count on is that the Jurassic Park franchise is going to keep things fresh while reminding moviegoers of the magic they felt seeing a dinosaur in Jurassic Park. The third film of the Jurassic World franchise is on its way and guess who is reportedly returning to reprise their roles from Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil, and Laura Dern, the three main stars. While Jeff Goldblum made a brief appearance in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we have not seen Sam Neill or Laura Dern in a long time. During an interview with MTV recently on the red carpet premiere of Rocketman, Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard basically confirmed the rumors of the return of the original cast (watch below). Having the original cast appear alongside Howard and Chris Pratt would be phenomenal for fans, especially since Jurassic World 3 is reportedly the last film
