On 28 December 1999, the citizens of New York City are getting ready for the turn of the millennium. However, Satan decides to crash the party by coming to the city and searching for his chosen bride — a 20-year-old woman named Christine York. The world will end, and the only hope lies within an atheist named Jericho Cane.
I can’t really think of anything clever to say about this. Gabriel Byrne seems to be enjoying himself? Arnie manages to stay on the right side of earnest and glib without, for the most part, getting melodramatic. Though Robin Tunney has clearly not had that note.
It just blows my mind that with such rich source material, Dogma is still one of the better films inspired by Catholicism.

Three magazine employees head out on an assignment to interview a guy who placed a classified ad seeking a companion for time travel.
This is about 80% of the way to being a great “little film”. It’s telling 2.5 stories but only one of them really plays out and it doesn’t quite payoff.
★★½
Tenacious homicide detective Cassie Mayweather and her still-green partner are working a murder case, attempting to profile two malevolently brilliant young men: cold, calculating killers whose dark secrets might explain their crimes.

Four years after Jurassic Park's genetically bred dinosaurs ran amok, multimillionaire John Hammond shocks chaos theorist Ian Malcolm by revealing that Hammond has been breeding more beasties at a secret location. Malcolm, his paleontologist ladylove and a wildlife videographer join an expedition to document the lethal lizards' natural behavior in this action-packed thriller.
This is so poorly plotted that it immediately caused confusion amongst my children and that, to be honest, says it all.

Tammy Beaumont becomes the first women's batter to hit a century in The Hundred with a spectacular 118 for Welsh Fire against Trent Rockets.
I feel lucky to have been able to watch this. It was incredible.
A wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening day, he invites a team of experts and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park and help calm anxious investors. However, the park is anything but amusing as the security systems go off-line and the dinosaurs escape.

First watch with the children (8/11). I knew they’d struggle with the tension, so I had to chuck out some “no-one you like dies” spoilers before we even got going. But they were still appropriately terrified, especially in the breaker shed and the kitchen.
One of them wanted to stop and watch the rest tomorrow but I insisted we keep going 😈 Better to go to bed knowing what happens than have your brain trying to fill in the blanks, right!?
I obviously enjoyed but I did notice how clean Grant’s boots are when they’re in the tree and now I’ll never not be able to see that.
★★★★★ (contains spoilers)
