Jurassic Park ~ 2013 Re-release in 3D

There are very few movies that can lure me out to the theatre opening day. 'Jurassic Park' in 3D is of them. I have seen 'Jurassic Park' more times than I can count, starting from when I was about 8. It was love at first sight! Naturally, when I heard it was going to be back in the theatres I practically jumped out of my skin! I had never seen it in the theatre before and I wanted to. Well, yesterday my dream was accomplished! Now the question is: How did all the special effects and video quality polishing change the movie? That's what I am going to discuss today.

As it has always been, this movie pulls you in with the very first scene! Muldoon and a crew loading a new raptor into the paddock. Let's just say this; Do you remember all that fear and awe you felt the first time you ever saw that scene? You can have it again. I was stunned by how much more detail there was. Either due to always watching on a small screen or worse picture quality there were details and elements I had never picked up on. Everyone I saw 'Jurassic Park' with agreed that you could see the terror in their eyes so very clearly because you could see the details of their eye! Also, all the vast sweeping landscape shots are so very impressive on a vast sweeping screen. It was honestly like watching the movie for the first time, that's how very changed the experience was.

As for the 3D, I enjoyed it! I thought that it added a depth to the forest and a reality to the raptors. Quite worthwhile. There were a few moments where the lens flair on screen was pushed out towards the audience and was floating in a distracting manner. Also, in the car/tree scene, as Grant talks to Timmy in the car, all the dash equipment and steering wheel were emphasised. The weird part of the dash being spotlighted was that you couldn't really tell what you were looking at so you find yourself staring at a blackish blob confused for a second. All in all it was only two very minor issues and the vast majority of the film was beautifully enhanced.

On to the dinosaurs. I was most concerned about the dinosaurs. Everyone has those haunting memories of 'Star Wars' re-releases where overt and 'obviously added later' CGI was thrown everywhere and sometimes replaced the original characters. There was none of that! Thank you movie people! The dino's were the same old dino's you have grown to love and cherish, only polished. They were beautiful, sharp, and animatronics, just like I like them. No complaints there at all!

In conclusion, this movie is so worthwhile that if you don't see it in the theatre you are missing out on a valuable life experience! No joke people. The sound alone makes it worthwile. I honestly got chills when I heard a raptor behind me. Frankly, there were a lot of chill causing scenes. I was 100% satisfied with my viewing experience. I only wish they would keep it in the theatres indefinitely so whenever I feel like watching 'Jurassic Park' I can see the biggest, baddest version the world has ever known! Two thumbs up people!

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

Kumea

Kumea (Koo-may) was a little girl. She was the age of ten and always wore pigtails clasped with a bright blue ribbon. Every morning Kumea woke up early, with the sun, and helped her mother tend to the rice farm in beautiful Japan. This farm year was different than all the others. The rice paddy was a sickly brownish yellow instead of bright lush green, and at night she would hear her parents talking about how the emperor would take their farm away if the weather didn’t change. One morning Kumea was gathering water from the creek when she thought she heard movement in the forest behind her house. Kumea took a little cup, filled it with water, and carried it over to a small yellow flower behind a shed. Slowly she poured water on the flower like she had done for weeks when her mother wasn’t looking. Just then a large cart approached the farmhouse with armored soldiers in it. Kumea peeked around the corner of the shed and watched the soldiers walk to her Father. The soldiers and her f...
