Film
Okay, you can admit it, you like cheesy science fiction and suspense flicks. Well, this weekend, one of the most anticipated blockbusters hit the cinemaplex, “Jurassic World.” Like so many sequels, we’re really not anticipating anything new—dinosaurs cloned from ancient DNA terrorize unsuspecting visitors at a theme park—but this film does feature hunky Chris Pratt. That’s reason enough to brave the crowds over the weekend. Check local listings for theaters and show times.
