Jurassic World

Best of the Rest

01/17/23 • 100 min

After laying dormant for 14 years, the Jurassic Park franchise received the legacy sequel treatment with Jurassic World. The movie was a hit with critics and became the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time!
Today we revisit the film to simply ask: What does this movie do well? Well, Chris Pratt rides a motorcycle alongside raptors and Bryce Dallas Howard outruns a T Rex, so we have our work cut out for us!

Wild Wild West

Best of the Rest

02/08/23 • 85 min

TV Show Movie month starts off with a BANG as we revisit Wild Wild West! Will Smith may have been the biggest movie star in the world at the time, but that didn't stop critics from trashing this sci-fi western epic. But today all we care about is what the movie does well! We're talking villain performances, Selma Hayek appreciation, and yes, the giant metal spider.
Wicky wicky wild!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Best of the Rest

01/25/23 • 90 min

The follow up to Jurassic World still made a ton of money at the box office, but the enthusiasm from critics and audiences was much, much lower. But today, all we want to talk about is what the movie does well!
Our returning lead characters get some much needed growth and depth, and the new supporting cast is stellar! Also dinosaurs are still cool!

Jurassic Park III

Best of the Rest

01/10/23 • 83 min

The Jurassic Park franchise came roaring back once again with newcomers the Spinosaurus and William H. Macy! Audiences and critics had enough of the dinosaur movies by 2001 but today all we want to talk about is what the movie does well!
Sam Neill and the raptors (great band name) return from the first movie, and one of them has feathers on their head now.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Best of the Rest

01/03/23 • 108 min

In 1993, Jurassic Park became the highest grossing movie of all time. Naturally, a sequel would follow and just 4 years later audiences flocked back to theaters for The Lost World. Despite Steven Spielberg directing again and key cast members returning, audiences and critics alike didn't feel like the lightning was captured a second time.
But today, we just want to talk about what the movie did well! The only thing more intense than the chemistry between Julianne Moore and Jeff Goldblum is the tension building while that trailer is slowly being pushed off a cliff!
Also this movie has a lot of dinosaurs.

The A-Team

Best of the Rest

02/22/23 • 80 min

The new millennium saw many classic television shows get their a modern, sleek, movie adaptation. Some were received better than others, and today we are talking about one of the others... and what it does well!
The A-Team assembles a stellar cast, including Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson, and features them in non-stop montages and bonkers set pieces. What more could we ask for?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Best of the Rest

02/15/23 • 123 min

It's morphin time! For kids in the 90's there was no greater film than Power Rangers: The Movie! For critics, it was a different story. Look, maybe some of the special effects don't hold up so well today, but all we want to talk about is what the movie does well! The Power Rangers are as cool as ever, Ivan Ooze is the most charismatic purple character ever put to film, and that theme song still rules!

Jurassic World: Dominion

Best of the Rest

02/01/23 • 109 min

Our month of Jurassic Park movies comes to a close with the final film in the series... for now!
This is the lowest rated entry in the franchise, but all we want to talk about is what the movie does well! The returning cast is used effectively, the dinosaurs finally have feathers, and no amount of Jeff Goldblum can ever be too much Goldblum.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Best of the Rest

07/05/23 • 125 min

One of the most beloved space adventures of all time was finally adapted into a film in 2005. The results? Middle of the road reviews and a lukewarm box office. But today we're just talking about what this adaptation of the Douglas Adam's tale does well! Sam Rockwell, Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel, and Martin Freeman lead a pitch perfect cast down a bonkers special effects adventure!
