Movie of the Week: Jurassic World

This is everything everyone says it is, good and bad. Leave all sense of logic at the door and collect it again on your way out of the movie theatre and you'll probably enjoy it a hell of a lot. Chris Pratt makes a decent hero. There are nods to the old Jurassic Park movies and the heroine manages to stay looking reasonably clean for way longer that you might expect. There's a lot of gratuitous violence, but if you didn't expect that to begin with what the hell were you doing going to see this movie anyway? Trained raptors? Well... OK, if you must!
The minions, having evolved to serve supervillains, can't find one bad enough, at least, not one that survives for long, so after falling into terminal depression, hiding out in an ice cave for a couple of centuries, minons, Kevin, Stewart and Bob set off to find the perfect supervillain, which they do, eventually, after adventures trying to steal the crown jewels. The best jokes are in the trailer, but even so it's a sweet movie for an otherwise dull Monday afternoon
