Universal Brings The Fifth Sequel Of Jurassic Park In June 2018



What did I say regarding my last entry about Jurassic Park? There is a chance of 5th installment.



After the record-breaking ticket sales of Jurassic World with $1.52 billion, the Universal announced that they are on works for the sequel of Jurassic World, which will be called Jurassic World 2. It is said to hit the theaters on June 22, 2018. 

My thoughts about the immediate announcement of the Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment about the sequel go with the another aim to break their own record in theaters, or maybe break evenly, as it is the third highest grossing film of all time, and the highest grossing film Universal Pictures ever distributed. That's how business and market work. If the first launch thumped the target market, anticipate for the second because you can't miss to gross further.  But of course, we'll have to wait for 3 years. They are in pre-production now, cooking up the script and maybe a new hybrid dinosaur since there were stains from the experiment, but it doesn't show until June 22, 2018, and that is too tedious. What's favorable now is during the preceding time, it takes 4 years before they produce another installment of Jurassic Park, with the Jurassic World who lost the intervening time because after the JP 3 which was shown in 2001, it was only shown this 2015 that took 14 years, instead of its original release date in 2005. Now, the intervening period for each sequel has become three on count. So the feeling is mutual to all the Dinosaur fans. It's Eggziting!

Movie Review: Jurassic World Roars As 4th Installment Of The Jurassic Franchise







Jurassic World is the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series. During its opening weekend, the film instantly broke the record of The Avengers, and Fast and Furious 7 as the highest-grossing film, and in international markets as well. It is also the first film that grossed $500 million worldwide. It scaled its claws on Philippine cinema last June 10, 2015, and June 12 on Northern America.

The film was originally planned to release in 2005, but went over a decade as revision of script and intricate development took the production.





 The first Jurassic Park film was shown in 1993 with an "Extinction" subtitle. The second with a subordinate title as "The Lost World" filmed in 1997, and in 2001, the third installment was directed by Joe Johnston, as Jurassic Park 3. Steven Spielberg primarily directed the first two parts, and produced the third one. And now, Jurassic Park roars back with a "Jurassic World" print. It took 14 years before the fourth installment happened, due to the sensitive development that went reversible.

Different Hollywood reports proclaimed in 2013 that the Jurassic Park will have its fourth part in 2015 under new director, Colin Trevorrow, with few details and information as changes still occurred that time. Speculations from netizens emerged that Jurassic Park will feature monsters living in the water and will dominate as "Waterwold", which was somehow true because of the appearance of Mosasaurus. But in 2014, another official report was released that Jurassic Park was in great effect and probably in right production to conquer the Isla Nublar again. To end the hunches and predictions of the fans, they finally revealed how and what it's gonna be like. Sam Neill even announced that he's not coming back to join the the fourth part, neither Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern.




Jurassic World features a fully functional dinosaur theme park located on Isla Nublar (where Jurassic Park 1 happened; Jurassic Park 2 and 3 was shot on Isla Sorna, site B). After twenty two years, InGen is back on operation with their skilled geneticist, Dr. Wu, who has a reprise role from the franchise, and with the new cast Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) as the Park's Operation Manager. Due to the multitudinous number of people coming to visit the park, they went to creating a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur called Indominus Rex, to keep their attraction on load, but haven't introduced to the public yet due to several testing and inspection regarding its hunting behavior. They were supposed to exhibit two Indominus, but the older I-rex ate her sibling before it hatched. The Indominus Rex was made from the DNA of several dinosaurs, mostly predatory, with another two DNA's from cuttlefish and unidentified tree frog. Through camouflaging and intelligence to deceive the securities, it escaped its paddock, killed two InGen securities, and in hunt towards the jungle and theme park, causing chaos, death and destruction of the whole park. 

To give highlights, one of the most amusing part in this fourth installment was the taming of Velociraptors, which at first, I thought would be vacuous because raptors are the most intelligent dinosaur, and ain't like dogs that can be trained. We're talking about proper domestication here. They have been used for military purpose such as hunting back the ferocious Indominus Rex. Through following the scent of the I-rex in the jungle, the raptors led Owen (Chris Patt) and the other soldiers where it hides. However, the Indominus Rex can secretly communicate with the raptors, turning them against Owen and the soldiers and killed most of them.

Furthermore, the extreme part was the battle of the Jurassic titans, where the adept and battle-scarred Tyrannosaurus Rex fights against the genetically modified Indominus Rex with the help of  Blue, the only raptor who survived the onslaught. Claire freed the T-rex to lure and have a fang-to-fang fight with I-rex after she got the idea from Gray (Ty Simpkins) when he said "we need more teeth". Claire ordered to open the enclosure of the T-rex, ran with a flare towards the I-rex. The two dinosaurs met and grabbed each other with a neck bite. Every bite and scratch from the two giants leave deep wounds on them. When the T-rex stumbled due to the wounds it got from I-rex, Blue came for a rescue, cawing and jumped over the back of I-rex, causing distraction. Just when the moment I thought the T-rex would lose its battle against the same giant as what had happened back in Jurassic Park 3, it stood up and devoured the neck of the Indominus. The fight between the I-rex, T-rex and raptor ended up when they forced the Indominus rex towards the lagoon, and the Mosasaur suddenly appeared. Dragged the I-rex from the neck down to the water and drowned it. The T-rex ,which we all know, as one of the worst enemies of raptors, left the park without provoking each other.

Supreme ending!


Jurassic Park has been my favorite since I was a kid. I'm actually an avid fan and I've memorized the lines of each character. When I heard about the Jurassic World, I was one of those fans who's ecstatically happy. The new film was jaw-dropping and marvelous! It's worth the wait. I was bit worried that the CGI of the 4th one might look repulsive or hideous because of the first trailer that had been shown, but gladly it wasn't the exact thought, I guess they made few changes as the first trailer though was tentative. Story flow was great and justifying. Everything was astounding and remarkable, most especially the newly introduced dinosaurs. The T-rex and raptors never missed any single appearance from the franchise, which is a big no no if they have obliterated them on the scene. Regarding the ending, it would be greater to see the Mosasaur eating the Indominus Rex under the water pieces into pieces after wagging it. The very last part was thrilling and stimulating for a fan like me to see the T-rex roars facing the disfigured and damaged park. It was tearful to see that kind of ending so exact as what they've had from the previous, whether it's a Pterodactyl's caw or a T-rex's roar . It brought back my childhood memories with the film.







I made this illustration due to my addiction to dinosaurs, most especially to T-rex,




Hoping for a 5th part after 4 years :)

Movie Review: Oz The Great And Powerful


My short review about this profound movie, Oz: The Great and Powerful. The cinematography was good, including the special effects and choice of actors.
 Ever since I am fond of watching the different installments and versions of Oz's, whether cartoons or 3D movies. I just really love the stories of each header and it started with Dorothy.

The Oz: Great and Powerful stars James Franco as Oscar Diggs, Michelle Williams as Glinda, Mila Kunis as Theodora, and Rachel Weisz as Evanora. Oscar has a dubious ethics as a small-time circus magician. He was hurled away from Kansas, where he performs his hideous acts, to the amazing and wonderful land of Oz. His castaway state made him thought that it was his fortune to be in the Land of Oz, however, it changed when he met the 3 witches of Oz, Theodora, Evanora and Glinda. The three are not pretty much convinced that he is not the great wizard of Oz. He must find out who is good and who is bad between the three before it gets too late for the sake of the inhabitants of the Land and was reluctant at first. Oscar, later on, had finally categorized Theodora and Evanora as the wicked witches of the Land of Oz. It is now his turn to use his magical illusions, and little quirky tricks to save the land, and use it over the 2 wicked sisters. Oscar's ingenuity transformed him to a great wizard of Oz and made him a better man as well.


There are remarkable characters too that I will never forget, such as Frank the monkey and Little China Girl.

Titanic on its 100th Anniversary




Titanic's first voyage turns out to be its last

   I'm sure, everyone's familiar with the historical sinking of the most famous, huge, luxurious and sophisticated ship ever, the TITANIC. It's first maiden voyage was April 10, 1912, and it sank in April 14-15, 1912. It is considered as one of the most unsinkable ship but when it struck on an Ice Berg, it sank the very next day. 1,500 passengers perished due to that ocean accident.


WONDER WHY TITANIC CAPTURED THE LUXURIOUS PASSENGERS IN?
   Facilities of a certain establishment, building or even ship is important to attract people. And no doubt Titanic has this exquisite facilities. And I think that's one of the factors why it is so famous, brought by having the captive interiors inside.

Titanic's Cafe Parisien


   Because of being famous and popular, it captured the interest and imagination of the world, not just because of it's sophistication, but because of its encoded and built stories. From its First voyage, till its Last. It inspired Novelty makers and even Film makers too. The increasing popularity adheres on being filmed.
   The 1997 film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kate Winslet. Their Love story caught the heart of many viewers. I thought of that love story as fictional to emphasis the shipwrecked and to add an impact for the audience. The film budget was 200 million U.S Dollars







The Sinking of The Unsinkable Ship...






According to the news, when they struck the Ice Berg, they had intended to continue wheeling the ship so it really began to have its full destruction. When the water enters the 5th floor of the ship, they really knew that it would happen, that the Ship is about to sink 'cause it's unstoppable.

Titanic began sinking bow-first, with water spilling from compartment to compartment as its angle in the water became steeper. 

The reason why it broke into half was because the bow sank first and the force compiled on its snout, causing the ship wrecked into half.

  Today, we'll reminisce the sinking of the popular Titanic. Before we get there, The Hollywood released the new craze about Titanic the movie, it is now in 3D, (Titanic 3D). I've watched the non-3D yet. I heard it's a blockbuster, deja vu.

  GMA NEWS TV will air the "INSIDE THE TITANIC" later on Channel 11, April 14, 2012, under the Philippine TV. This is a full documentary about the Voyage, the Shipwrecked, Discoveries and everything that will introduce us more about the famous liner.
