Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2400 KP) rated Short Cuts in Books

Adding to the book, after each story author Sigmund Brouwer shares some thoughts on the theme of the story and the inspiration behind it. These are just as fun as the stories themselves and could almost work as a devotional if they included scriptures. The stories themselves are quick adventures with the characters we love, and fans will be very happy with them.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) in Movies
Aug 3, 2025 (Updated Aug 3, 2025)
IF I was to rate all 7, probably be something like:
Superb (Jurassic Park), Very Good (The Lost World), Good (Jurassic Park 3), Very good (Jurassic World), OK (Fallen Kingdom), Poor (Dominion), Good (Rebirth).
Basically, every 4th film almost seems to 'reset' the franchise as a whole, with the next 2 films increasing poor until the next reset.
This one, then, clearly takes its inspiration from the original: while Dinosaurs are now part of the ecology of the planet, the majority of this takes place on a remote island where they are able to roam free and from where the heroes of the piece spend most of their time trying to escape.
