(film only review) What’s it about? ---------------------- A group of scientists go to a remote island where the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park were bred. Unknown to them, a second team has also been sent for far more sinister purposes. Who’s in it? ---------------- The only two survivors from the original film are Richard Attenborough in a brief reprise of his role as Dr John Hammond and Jeff Goldblum as Dr Ian Malcolm. Attenborough is still saddled with a ridiculous accent and, in the four years between films,has undergone an unlikely transformation (as Malcolm comments) from capitalist to conservationist. It’s a good job ...  Read the complete review

Following the phenomenal success of the original Jurassic Park movie in 1993, it was inevitable that studio execs began to see dollar signs everywhere and so the sequel to JP - The Lost World (also from a novel penned by Michael Crichton) was green lit and hit the big screen in 1997.

I'm perfectly aware that I'm in the minority here (I've only ever met one person who agrees with me on this!) ...  Read the complete review

Having seen Jurrassic Park at the cinema,I was slightly wary that on DVD the effects would somewhat be squashed on a smaller screen.As with the sheer scale needed with a film of this kind you could never beat seeing on a huge cinema screen to bring out the best of it. I was pleasantly surprised when My partner bought the two disc dvd box set of Jurrassic Park and the lost world in the wide screen version. The widescreen version was better than I thought,I was expecting to see only the top or bottom half of say the tyranasaurus bearing in mind the size of Him to put on a smaller screen,but He was all there as were all the others,full size. ...  Read the complete review
