Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
Directed by Gareth Edwards this sequel stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend. A group set off to get samples of dinosaurs to make medicine from them.
Looks like they could not be bothered to fit a single character arc in this entire film, it has about as much flavour as styrofoam. Some how all wonder has been drive from the franchise. Decent cast but they have literally nothing to work with here.
2/5
Chien Caniche Noir Sautant (1897)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey and Lucien Georges Bull this is an early short film. A man gets his dog to jump up and down.
A fun little short with a fair amount of personality thanks to the man and his pooch. Captures something you could easily see in the park today. Really good image quality for the age of the film.
3/5
Homme Noir, Marche, Exposition Ethnographique de l’Afrique Occidentale au Champ-de-Mars à Paris (1895)
Directed by Elix Regnault, Charles Comte and Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. An African man walks across the frame.
Another simple walking clip from the usual suspects. Short and to the point like the others of its type. Not a huge amount to this, you only see the subject in silhouette.
2/5
Wolof Woman (Senegal) Carrying a Child on Her Back (1895)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey and Felix Regnault this is an early short film. A woman from Senegal carries her child with her.
Very simple and short. Like a lot of the other films of its type this is a blink and you will miss it effort. Does survive in decent quality at least.
3/5
Femme Ouolofe (Sénégal) en marche avec poids sur sa tête (1895)
Directed by Etienne-Jules Marey and Felix Regnault this is an early short film. A Senegalese woman walks past the camera.
Another blink and you will miss it affair. Pretty decent image quality for what there is. No doubt a slice of history but not much more.
3/5
Félix Regnault assis sur un palanquin porté par des malgaches au pas (1895)
Directed by Felix Regnault and Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. A man is carried on a palanquin by two men.
Not much more than a couple of seconds long, you do not get a lot of time to take things in. I suppose not terrible for what it is. Decent image quality.
2/5
Démarche de Musulmans de Saint-Louis, Exposition Ethnographique de L’Afrique Occidentale à Paris (1895)
Directed by Felix Regnault, Charles Comte and Etienne-Jules Marey this is an early short film. Three men walk across the frame.
A little on the quick side to really be able to take in the details of the three figures in the film. The camera is also a little far away from the subjects in my opinion. Still a nice piece of history.
3/5
