Movie Review: Jurassic World Domination. To me seeing dinosaurs are like seeing fireworks, after a few minutes, enough already. The story is decent, but it soon turns into a Rodney King, can’t we all get along? Effects are better than most, with Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neil and Jeff Goldbloom. However, just not my cup of tea. But will do huge box office, may even beat out Top Gun. (PG-13) – (2 ½ Hours) – (3 Stars).
Movie News: I have a release date for Hunger Games sequel Songbirds and Snakes, Thanksgiving 2023.
Hollywood Bowl is officially 100 years old today and another Mike Evans story. It was my first big radio gig and I was just a kid! I was the assistant program director at KABC in L.A. MANY years ago, during the Patty Hearst kidnapping! The G.M. and my boss were both out! I was called to reception where an envelope had been left to be opened immediately. Since I was in charge I opened it, it read. “If you ever want to save Patty Hearst alive go to the Hollywood Bowl, NOW SECTION G- ROW 32 – UNDER SEAT 11.” It also said do not contact police or FBI! So, I went there and found the envelope under the seat and brought it back to KABC. I decided to call the FBI and LAPD before opening it! The came and I opened the sealed envelope, and it said, “If you ever want to see Patty Hearts alive, pray to God for answers!” The FBI and LAPD called me an idiot, shook their heads in disgust, and stormed out. My favorite Hollywood Bowl story, idi’m lying, I’m dying.
