  Jurassic World Dominion 2022

  ★★★ Watched by drmorbius79 28 Jun 2022

  Saw this for my birthday today!! Hey, it's a big dumb popcorn flick with dinosaurs in it. And an okay way to get out of the house and kill two hours. Otherwise this is super blah and mediocre. I'm being very generous here with the rating. There's a cool moment right of "Valley of Gwangi" when Chris Pratt lassoes a dino.

  The Thing 1982

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by drmorbius79 22 Jan 2016

  John Carpenter's masterpiece- the perfect film to watch during Blizzard 2016.

  Only Kurt Russell can make a ridiculous "Yosemite Sam" hat look cool.

  Between "Nightcrawler" and this film, Jake Gyllenhaal had one hell of a year in 2014.

  I wasn't sure if I liked this one at first- but it definitely resonated with me in a strong way. It stays with you, and leaves you thinking.

  It's a surreal look at a man struggling with the encroaching responsibilities of fatherhood- at least that's my take. Some definite echoes of Kafka and Lynch here.

  I was really taken with how the film itself made…
