New Poster for A Good Day to Die Hard

Man of Steel

Zack Snyder's reinvention of the Superman story under the production guidance of Christopher Nolan is still a few months away but already looks set to bask in Summer glory.

The more mature and serious interpretation has been carefully planned with the trailers revealing a little at a time and a viral marketing campaign which has Kryptonian transmissions being decoded under the Deep Space Radio Wave Project.

Watch this space for more updates in 2013, but meanwhile here's the latest official trailer.

Die Hard 25th Anniversary Box Set

One of the most popular Christmas action films of all time is nearly 25 years old. 

Yes, it’s been that long since John McClane came home for Christmas and saved Nakatomi Plaza from a bunch of terrorists who were just high-tech robbers. Twenty five years since “Yippee-kai-yay” entered our vocabulary and Hans Gruber was immortalized by Alan Rickman creating a definitive villain that has yet to be rivaled. And of course it’s been twenty five years of Bruce Willis having jumped with machine gun firing from Moonlighting to the big screen entertaining us in a franchise which sees its fifth film explode onto the screen on Valentine’s Day 2013. 

Twentieth Century Fox is celebrating by bringing the Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection to bluray in a special 5-disc set with new features that look back at the franchise, the fights, the explosions, the bad guys and of course the creation and legacy of everyone’s favourite anti-hero.

The fifth disc called Decoding Die Hard, contains 7 new features as follows:


• “Modern-Day Hero” — Casting, evolution and legacy of John McClane
• “Along For The Ride” — Sidekicks who have teamed up with McClane
• “Bad To The Bone” — McClane’s foes
• “Punishing Blows” — Action sequences, fistfights and stunts
• “Explosive Effects” — Role of visual and special effects
• “Reinventing The Action Genre” — Development of the franchise
• “The Right Hero For The Right Time” — The Influence of Die Hard


Released two weeks before A Good Day to Die Hard hits the big screen, this box set is a great way to relive high-octane-McClane’s adventures so far in saving a whole bunch of hostages and beating the odds to do it every time. 

The Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection is available from January 28, 2013.

Only God Forgives

Nicholas Winding Refn has had a terrific year with Drive getting re-discovered on home media, Pusher having a new incarnation on the big screen and now buzz surrounding Only God Forgives heating up before the promo debuts later this year.

Reunited with Ryan Gosling, Refn directs him as a manager of a boxing club in Bangkok who's living in exile after killing a cop. The boxing club is a front for a drugs cartel and Gosling gets drawn into trouble when his brother is murdered. Kristin Scott Thomas plays the boys' mother who travels to Bangkok instructing Gosling to raise hell in revenge for her son's murder. Expect violence, blood, violence and more violence.

What did you expect after Drive?

Skyfall Rises to Break UK Box Office Record

Skyfall has become not only the highest grossing Bond film but also the biggest film in UK box office history. No 3D, no blue aliens but a healthy dose of realism have ensured that this James Bond film has made over £94 million in just 40 days stealing James Cameron’s Avatar’s crown which previously held the record for its accomplishment in 11 months.

What was hoped to be a year of jubilation for James Bond with the character celebrating 50 years, has exceeded even the producers expectations and the uncertainty that clouded the franchise given the mixed response to Quantum of Solace and stalled starts for Skyfall, is a distant memory of the past. Skyfall had a lot riding on it as the last Bond film was released four years ago and did not receive the enthusiastic roar of approval that Casino Royale secured. The Olympics helped officially remind everyone of a British institution flying the flag proud but never afraid to use his license to kill. Daniel Craig’s appearance as part of the Olympic opening ceremony – one that celebrated British culture and pride – saw him serving both the Queen and country very literally to a rapturous response that helped kickstart enthusiasm for a new Bond film. For those unaware of what the film’s title was, they only had to describe what Craig was doing in the ceremony to get the hint: Skyfall.

As teasers for the 23^rd film emerged and trade publications congratulated the longest running and most successful film series in history, DVD and bluray box sets were released containing every Bond film to date with a slot free for the new movie. Television tributes to the character and a book by Sir Roger Moore on his experience with James Bond all contributed to keeping the tradition and value of Bond in the public eye, but nobody knew what to expect of Skyfall.

When it was announced the title song would be performed by Adele and the media dissected the various brand endorsements that had become part and parcel of getting the film made, screenings confirmed that something very special had happened with Skyfall: Bond had got his swagger back.

Straying slightly from the formulaic Bond which has girls, gadgets, wisecracks and impossible threats, Skyfall forced the character to crash and burn becoming the underdog who was fighting to prove himself to MI6 as well as the world. Characterisation went a level further with themes exploring the human element of being an agent, Bond’s background and upbringing, M’s maternal role to the agents who work for her and how retiring from the field is usually not voluntary and doesn’t come without repercussions. Skyfall returned to Bond’s roots, paid homage to where the series started and reintroduced two throwbacks that were iconic in their initial incarnations (Moneypenny and the original Aston Martin). The film also perfected a maniacally-layered villain who sought to avenge his own death and abandonment by targeting the person he held responsible, M (Judi Dench). Ironically the killed and resurrected but-not-deemed-fit-for-duty Daniel Craig’s James Bond is the only one who can defeat agent-gone-bad Raoul Silva (chillingly portrayed by Javier Bardem). The Bond girl this time reflects a façade of glamour with Berenice Marlohe delivering a killer performance as Severina – a woman who Silva saved from the Macau sex trade only to be left with even less free will and required to be a slave to his master plan. We don't witness his treatment of her except in the scene where he discards her but her eyes shiver with fear when she begs Bond to free her from captivity and what is not said conjures up a fearful story.

The writing team of Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan have worked to ensure characterization, themes, subtext and narrative devices used to pull together the world of Skyfall are more complex than any previous Bond has been, and director Sam Mendes together with Roger Deakins weave the tapestry with pure visual delight. Couple this with extremely strong performances by Craig, Bardem, Marlohe, Dench, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris and you have a very strong James Bond film coming together. The icing that has also helped make repeat viewings a joy is veteran editor Stuart Baird’s ways of keeping the film fast-paced and a pleasure to sit through and experience. Not an action film from start to finish, Stuart and Kate Baird’s meticulous editing ensures the suspenseful spy thriller heavy on action and drama in equal doses resonates with the magic that movies are made of.

Pre-orders for the bluray release of Skyfall have already shown strong figures despite the film still performing well at the UK box office. With the talent of the film now receiving financial rewards for the success of the film and more promised depending on how it fares during award season, the very big gamble that began on shaky ground has more than paid off allowing all associated with the film to breathe a huge sigh of relief. A statement from producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were “overwhelmed with gratitude to the cinema-going audiences in the UK who have made Skyfall the highest grossing film of all time”. Here’s to another 50 years and many more stories that break new ground and entertain from the world of 007.

Skyfall is released on DVD and Bluray in the UK in 2013.

Continuing Our Countdown to A Good Day to Die Hard

Close to nine weeks left until A Good Day to Die Hard when John McClane returns with his son in tow in an impossible situation that'll have him fighting to the end with guns blazing, tanks roaring and dealing very closely with broken glass (again).

Australian actor Jai Courtney joins the franchise as Jack McClane who is more than a chip off the old block and revels in the thrill of bad luck McClane Senior has found himself in previously. Continuing our countdown to February 14th and the release of A Good Day to Die Hard, here's a glimpse behind the scenes and an introduction to the new action man on the scene fighting hard with Bruce Willis: Jai Courtney.

Bad 25

Spike Lee’s reflection on one of Michael Jackson’s most iconic and celebrated albums opens and ends with the singer speaking at an interview in Brooklyn. Those who know Spike realise he’s probably taken great pride in having excerpts from an interview that took place in the filmmaker’s adopted hometown, and one that just happens to be one of the more insightful interviews Michael did during the release of Bad.

Twenty-five years later, the documentary film aptly titled Bad 25 is a true celebration not just of the album but of Michael Jackson, the artiste whose visionary work has inspired and entertained millions above and beyond the majority of his short-lived life. Without delving too deeply into Jackson’s background, the documentary begins stating the burden of success that Thriller brought with it to Jackson and the industry. He had little left to prove yet worked day and night to create an album that would be a worthy successor to 1984’s Thriller, hoping to sell 100,000,000 copies.

Having grown from child star to teen idol, Michael Jackson tasted fame as a young black singer who achieved significant crossover success as a solo artiste paving the way for others through air-and-video play that was not based on marketing dollars but public demand. Thriller became a behemoth that could not be topped and kickstarted an era which saw the rise of two prominent artistes of colour who would transcend genres and boundaries and be discussed in one of Spike Lee’s own cult films – Michael Jackson and Prince.

As Lee’s film delves deep into the genesis of the Bad album, the playful nature in which a duet between Prince and Michael Jackson was suggested is touched on with much humour. The two stalwarts were destined for different paths of success yet their lives and careers constantly intertwined from the time of the heights of their fame to Michael’s final years. No collaboration resulted despite many attempts and the early story of how Bad was taken to Prince for a duet which would be a showdown between the two was dead in the water from the offset.

Journeying through each track on the album, Spike’s film intercuts never before seen footage with revelations of the detail Michael put into his work, painstakingly crafting songs that shine even to this day. From the way he harnessed and controlled his talent to handpicking directors he wanted to help translate his music onto celluloid, Michael was determined to perfect the experience of those consuming his output.

Bad 25 delights Jackson fans with information that has never been uncovered before and provides a unique insight into the creative mind of a visionary genius. It also provides anyone with a passing interest in the intricate process of artistic creation with an extremely enjoyable and informative view into the journey that begins with conception, nurturing and shaping an idea, leading it through to a fully formed song and music video.

The striking imagery, narrative and editing that impressed in Michael’s short films are given the respect and dissection that only another filmmaker could provide. Spike Lee treats each song on the Bad album and accompanying video with an inquisitive pursuit that traces through interviews with directors, cinematographers and choreographers discussing the vision that Michael Jackson had when wanting to present his concept to the world.

The genius of Leave Me Alone includes that it reflected a highly personal response to his media crucifixion with an avant-garde video complete with barking dogs in suits nailing him down to restrain his freedom of expression, while also keeping the viewers' foot tapping and voice humming with a hypnotic and thumping drum. The result is infectious and mesmerizing, which is one of the reasons it’s cited as many a fan’s favourite song and video, and thanks to Bad 25 we understand more why it is it has this effect on us. The same treatment is given to the album’s title track with Martin Scorsese watching footage from the original shoot and reminiscing about incidents on set. The Way You Make Me Feel and Smooth Criminal also deserve noteworthy mention due to the interesting stories associated with the background of these songs and short films (we even finally discover the identity of Annie and whether or not she’ll ever really be ok). The filming of the Liberian Girl video including Michael Jackson’s one take on-screen appearance as well as video footage that Michael himself took of a demo of Man in the Mirror are among other highlights of the documentary. Spike Lee is on the ball when presenting the Bad album 25 years later in a way that generates the same excitement that accompanied its arrival.

Michael’s tributes to dancers he grew up watching and passion for entertainment and performing as well as creating and crafting his own musical legacy is all presented with a respectful and thorough investigation.

The highlight of the documentary film is not a single moment but an array of complete experiences united by a man who refused to deliver anything less than his best. Many of the subjects interviewed will not have met each other, yet all contributed to an era that is celebrated today and united for one project.

Lee ensures that Bad 25 is more than an experience that enhances the vision Michael Jackson delivered to the world, it also celebrates his creativity and talent and provides a complete ‘making of’ that is unrivalled by any similar claim of music channels today. He also shows with sensitivity and wise judgment how Michael’s passing has affected each of the interviewees through capturing their responses to where they were when they heard the news that changed the entertainment world forever.

A fascinating watch from start to finish, Bad 25 celebrates the music industry’s most visionary icon and presents the genesis, revelation and exodus of an album that took the world by storm with a trans-media approach ahead of its time. Adding to his already accomplished narrative film work and documentary filmmaking which moved with ‘If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise’ and ‘When the Leeves Broke’, Spike Lee excels in capturing an era in a 123 minute film which leaves you smiling and remembering one of the entertainment industry’s greatest artistes and feeling that he really has gone too soon.

Spike Lee’s BAD 25 will be released on DVD and Bluray in February 2013. A heavily edited version screened on ABC on Thanksgiving and the full version on BBC 2 in the UK on December 1^st.

Shoot First

Keeping with our recent trend of posting videos, here is the promo for Tarantino XX - a new bluray collection of Quentin Tarantino's first 20 years in filmmaking. With 8 films spread across 10 discs and never before seen extras, those eagerly awaiting the release of Django Unchained can get their education in fast edits, quick depth-laden-and-bathed-in-subtext dialogue and guts galore as QT brazenly dominates his first two decades in Hollywood. What makes this collection unique is that all these films are presented together in one box set which would be unheard of a few years ago given the different studios and distributors involved. But since Miramax sold its film library, this box set contains  films from Warner Bros, Universal, TWC and more. The second bonus disc also contains a 2 hour eight part feature on Tarantino's twenty years of filmmaking which provides some fantastic anecdotes and information. With classics such as Reservoir Dogs, True Romance (screenplay by), Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol 1&2, Inglourious Basterds and Death Proof, this box set is worth the upgrade from DVD for QT fans for the exclusive bonus material.

Some will begrudge the inclusion of True Romance despite the film directed by Tony Scott still bearing Tarantino's watermark, and the absence of films such as Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Til Dawn etc. 

However, this box set cleverly puts together the motion pictures which exist within the same universe. Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta) is the brother of Vic Vega (Mr Blonde played by Michael Madsen) in Reservoir Dogs. A film was also talked about featuring the two but Tarantino decided against it given they both died in their previous screen incarnations and the actors had aged since playing these roles. 

Mr White worked with Alabama from True Romance and Donny Donowitz (Eli Roth) aka 'The Bear Jew' from Inglourious Basterds is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance. Kill Bill is a version of Fox Force Five with Mia Wallace - Uma Thurman - playing the title role. Watching the films comprising this set helps confirm connections that have been speculated at and add to the movie universe QT has created.

Watch here, then breathe and enjoy the HD presentation of some of the finest films of the last twenty years.

Star Wars: A Legacy

Much has been said, speculated and hoped for when the announcement of Disney purchasing Lucasfilm and particularly the Star Wars franchise hit the airwaves. Writers, directors and cast have all been proposed via various websites for the new trilogy which will bring Star Wars to a whole new legion of fans and ensure the franchise becomes even bigger than it already is.

With Rick McCallum retiring from Lucasfilm and the very capable and talented Kathleen Kennedy at the helm of where this starship ventures to next, we thought we'd share a short celebration of George Lucas' legendary space legacy that has enthralled fans for decades, changed the Hollywood equation and brought about a new type of independent film that inspires to this day.

You Will Know Her Name

"Pray little girl. Pray for forgiveness."

Chloe Grace Moretz is all set to set the big screen alight (literally) in a new adaption of Stephen King's celebrated Carrie.

With more spiritual and religious overtones than the original and allowing for an update which takes modern day social media into account (through tweeting and status updates), the new Carrie is set to be a hybrid of something old and new that will shock while drawing you into the experience of growing up in Carrie's world. In the brief flashes seen, Julianne Moore is frightfully convincing as Margaret, Carries deeply religious mother who beats and locks up her daughter in the cellar for being "a sinner". The effect on Carrie's psyche when coupled with being the awkward teenager at school bullied for not fitting in, results in a telekinetic onslaught that ensures after Spring 2013, the world will remember her name.. again.

The Evil Dead

The Evil Dead remake arrives in Spring 2013, but it's certainly not too early to give fans and viewers a gore-filled teaser of what's to come and put the concerns of those who loved the original at bay.

With a rosta of crew behind the original returning for this update and director Fede Alvarez hand-picked by Sam Raimi himself, the cult film will be back on the big screen with more gore, laughs and horror than ever before. With many horror franchises dying a premature death at the box office in recent times and none living up to the promise of a fresh new franchise since Saw, it's time for a golden oldie to show the rest how it's done.

This trailer is rated suitable for Mature audiences only.

Spielberg Delivers Another Masterpiece in Lincoln

Despite what some cinema tells you, it is highly unlikely Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter. A more accurate and compelling account of events is in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, which brings the character to life and presents four months of the celebrated President’s term leading up to his assassination.

Actor Daniel Day-Lewis made Spielberg wait a year before he agreed to become the President in front of the cameras and the result is breathtaking.

“Daniel did something at first that made me sad,” remembers the director. “He wanted to wait a year and it was a masterstroke, because he had a year to do research. He had a year to discover how Lincoln sounded and he found the voice. He had Lincoln so embedded in his psyche, in his soul, in his mind, that I would come to work in the morning and Lincoln would sit behind his desk and we would begin.”

This quote given to Time magazine earlier this month, epitomizes how Daniel Day-Lewis painstakingly became Lincoln, and in the film his eerily realistic portrayal of one of the most recognized but understudied (internationally) President of the United States arrives at the right time to inspire and educate a new generation.

When the film opens mixing blood and mud on the battlefield, echoing the gritty war shots Spielberg perfected and nauseated audiences with in Saving Private Ryan, it becomes evident why this bloodshed must not be in vain and something good must come out of the end of war which Lincoln attempts.

A mature Lincoln has begun another term in office while facing a revolt in the Capitol and having to fight off claims of dictatorship by the democratic opposition as well as trying to find unity in his imploding Republican party feuds. Testing times force Lincoln to think, act and do what he believes is best for his country.

Shown as a family man, mourning the loss of his 11 year old son and holding his kingdom at home and outside together, Lincoln had a gift of looking at the bigger picture when making decisions that would shape the future. His fight to get votes to abolish slavery and do the right thing, ensuring that the long term effect of ending the war resonated in eternity highlights how decisions are made in courtrooms and cabinets that affect the world and the measure of a man is the morals and values he holds and abides by, which will shape the outcome of the decisions made.

What results is a performance-driven masterpiece of a movie with Spielberg extracting a Lincoln mould from Day-Lewis that is constantly battling with the elements of his society. Shot with muddy tones that reflect the dirt in battle, in Lincoln’s cabinet and in the era that fought against abolishing slavery, by the time the viewer completes Spielberg’s journey through Lincoln’s life the audience is baptized in hope and pride. Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones provide décor to Lincoln’s world that help provide a glimpse into his challenges at home and outside, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt alongside Jackie Earle Haley deserve a mention too for breathing life into their characters in a way that transcends the screen.

Oscar buzz is abound and many are rooting for Spielberg’s Lincoln to dominate in Best Picture and Best Actor categories at the very least, and hopefully Best Director too. But awards-speak aside, Lincoln is a must-see film that delivers a big screen experience taking you back to a time which has shaped our present in more ways than the obvious. 

Countdown to A Good Day to Die Hard

The countdown to Christmas has begun and with the festive season comes films which belong to this particular time period. There’s the schmaltzy feelgood film where the main protagonist realizes the error of his ways and makes amends by the end, where he’s learned a valuable life lesson about himself and humanity. These films follow the Dickens’ model oft repeated and based on A Christmas Carol, a story which in itself is remade in many ways year after year.

The theme is seen in many popular films that have become unconventional Christmas hits, repeated on television year after year and featured on top ten lists of Christmas movies despite not being obvious choices and having little to do with Christmas or just being set at that time of the year.

Edward Scissorhands, Trading Places, Gremlins and Home Alone are regularly branded this kind of film for having pivotal moments occur at Christmas and depicting a canvas of snow that transcends the screen and overflows into the hearts of filmgoers. All the main characters in these films learn something by the end of the film that they didn’t know at the start – knowledge about themselves or something (e.g. Gremlins!) that makes their life better.

But the most unlikely and popular Christmas movie features a gun-toting, foul mouthed action hero who gatecrashed an office party and left realizing that his job may be to save innocent citizens but it’s also about his family too and he’s got to tow the line. Yes, John McClane in Die Hard is an unsurprising favourite for Christmas and with the promise of new film entry in the franchise arriving round the corner on Valentines Day 2013, it’s the perfect time to revisit Nakatomi Plaza and see where it all began.

Bruce Willis returns in A Good Day to Die Hard and family is still very much a part of the equation and the force that pulls him into the action. John McClane had a bad reunion with his wife, Holly in the original film that turned into an action packed hostage film where our hero beat the odds to walk away with the girl. In Die Hard 2: Die Harder they said lightning couldn’t strike the same place twice but little did they know John McClane was back beating terrorists in a darker take on the series adapted from the novel 58 minutes. Featuring a terrifying scene where an entire plane of innocents is brought down as McClane can only watch, he finally saves his wife in a touching moment where he guides a plane to the ground exclaiming “Here’s your landing light, Holly!” Heartwarming stuff in an action film. Again.

In Die Hard with a Vengeance his wife calls in to check up on McClane while he’s engaged in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a villain avenging the death of his brother in the first Die Hard. Formulaic but with Samuel L Jackson and Jeremy Irons muscling in providing support, the third outing is enjoyable most of the time.

Live Free or Die Hard (also known as Die Hard 4.0 outside the US) took a clever cyberterrorist plot loosely inspired by a Wired article called ‘A Farewell to Arms’ and introduced us to McClane’s estranged daughter. Controversy about the rating aside, the film made money and had some spectacular action sequences proving many wrong that maybe it was time for John McClane to hang up his vest.

A Good Day to Die Hard finds John McClane travelling to Russia to help out his estranged son John “Jack” McClane Jr (Jai Courtney) whose career choice puts him in situations his father has had to deal with on account of the worst bad luck ever. Thinking he’s helping Jack, McClane soon realizes his son’s life is a career choice and messes things up for everyone creating a situation with more international terrorists that he need to fix while bonding with his son and making amends. Bigger in scale from previous outings and taking the action from New York to Moscow, the film has some insane car chases, tanks galore and the biggest helicopter in the world makes its presence felt. Oh and the climax takes place in Chernobyl.

With upped action featuring a double barrel of explosive punches, dialogue and guns in McClane and son, and with an appearance from Lucy, John’s daughter who was introduced in the previous outing, A Good Day to Die Hard is all set to be a family film of a very different kind. Talks of the franchise being prepped for Courtney’s shoulders are premature and the focus is very much on making this entry one with explosions so big you’ll feel the aftershock for weeks after seeing the film.

So Christmas is coming and it’s the perfect time to watch a Die Hard movie, because the McClanes are coming to make hearts bleed on Valentines Day and bleed they shall with bullet-holes, badass action and everyone’s favourite cowboy catchphrase. Forget the 12 days of Christmas, it's now 12 weeks until the new Die Hard movie.

Yippee Ki-yay guys. Peace on Earth until February, then bring on A Good Day to Die Hard.

Removing the 3D Choice Has a Box Office Impact

We recently posted with disappointment at the figures for Dredd 3D, but this article seems to have highlighted one of the reasons people who intended to see it, didn't.

Films which are released in 3D and have an option for 2D statistically add more to their box office through offering choice. Some people can't handle the 3D due to visual impairments, others steer clear due to the rising expense and some just prefer to watch 2D films. Dredd being available only in 3D with the visual experience of Slo-Mo and Mega City One may be enticing, but not enough to harvest an audience of mostly 18-34 year old males who would want to go and see this film together but have to weigh up the expense of a 3D film compared to other options.

Here's hoping the home video release makes an impact and this isn't the last we've seen of Dredd.

World War Z Trailer

Jurassic Park Returns in 3D

Steven Spielberg has had varying degrees of success when attempting to invite new audiences to his movies. Many of his classics have hit the 20th anniversary mark since their original celebrated release and still hold up.

When he tinkered with the much-love E.T. presenting new footage and editing which infamously turned guns into walkie-talkies, the film failed to capture the imagination of a new generation. Even those who grew up watching it and loved it found the new version difficult to warm to. Editing it seems, is everything. Take a classic and change a few things, and if you don't do it with masterful strokes (as George Lucas has succeeded in doing at certain points) then you risk robbing an audience of their childhood favourite films. Having learned from the E.T experience, Jurassic Park is not being re-cut for the big screen but having a 3D overhaul similar to the way James Cameron's Titanic had earlier this year. 

Jurassic Park has many signature Spielberg shots, is high on thrills, dinosaur action, threatening scenes and puts people in peril in ways that push all the right buttons. Watching it in HD reminds the viewer how good this film could look and couple that with genuine moments on screen that would make crowd pleasing 3D, it's a welcome conversion that will finally give the world a dinosaur movie in 3D done right. Skepticism is rife with online buzz about how this is yet again milking a departed cash cow but see the trailer on the big screen in 3D and you'll be reminded exact why it could be time to return to Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park returns to the big screen in 3D on April 5, 2013.
