Should have gone to hibernation instead
25 September 2002
Bad film about a bear cub trying to find his place in the world with a singing family of bears. Bad can't describe this film enough. It's so bad in fact that it's really down right disturbing to look at. The sad part of all of this is the fact that Christopher Walken does his ` Just doing it for the money cameo. Avoid at all cost.

Following the same pattern as the Jaws movies, going right down the toilet.
25 September 2002
The comparisons are right there. Every Jaws film was worse than the other, and The Jurassic Park series is going through the same pattern. Here is an example:

1 A) The Original Jaws: Landmark Film That set the bar in suspends, and sheer thrills. Directed By Steven Spielberg.

B) The Original Jurassic Park: Landmark Film That revolutionizes special effects, and combined them superbly with suspends, thrills, and heart. Also Directed By Steven Spielberg.

2 A) Jaws 2: A sequel That does not equal the original but manages to keep up the suspends and thrills. This was directed by Jeannot Szwarc, who does not have the flare of Steven Spielberg but manages to keep up the pace set forth by the original.

B) The Lost World, Jurassic Park: A sequel that does not equal the original but manages to surpass it in the special effects department. Steven Spielberg directed this, and this is the first time he directed a sequel to one of his original movies. Although It does not come close to the magic of the original, it does retain the superb combination of Suspends, thrills, and heart.

3 A) Jaws 3 (also known as Jaws 3D): A bad cash in that is more of a gimmick that an actual movie. The gimmick in question is the rendering of 3D images over bad shark effects that tries to cover up the fact that the story is preposterous, and the acting is outrageously bad. This was Directed by Joe Alves, who proves with out a doubt that anyone with a camera can be a director, but talent is giving to a few.

B) Jurassic Park 3: A bad cash In that is more of a gimmick that an actual movie. The gimmicks in question are the discovery of a new dinosaur called the Spinosauris that was hiding from the other films of the series and the evolution of talking raptors. All this and a very short running was clear attempt to cover up the fact that there was really no story to be told, and the fact that acting is so glaringly bad gives a real indication of actors just trying to collect a check. Not even The special effects are up to expectation, and that shocking because it came from the same man who did the others movies in the series. This was directed By Joe Johnson Who previous outings includes Honey I Shrunk the kids and Jumangi were mediocre at best. (Word Of advice, Never Give over a franchise To a man name Joe)

I don't know about Jurassic Park 4 but if the pattern holds we will all see another Jaws The Revenge. If that happens then The Jurassic Park series is truly dead.

Sweet and Sassy.

Decent romantic fair with Ashley Judd playing a woman so fed up with dating that she creates a theory linking Males to animals. The premises is better than it sounds, with a great leading performance by Huge Jackman and a great supporting role for Marisa Tormie. Definitely give it a try.
