I like dinos. Quite a bit. Have religiously watched all The Land Before Time movies and then the Jurassic Park/World ones and I was *quite*curious to see what they would do to wrap things up in Dominion. They didn't do much. Given that things have to follow patterns set for creature and doomsday movies, one... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Jurassic World-The Fallen Kingdom
Somethings are best left the way they are. Jurassic Park should have ended when they left Isla Whatsit with John Hammond. Julianne Moore was a very discordant note in the second sequel. William H.Macy and Tea Leoni were more believable but the real heroes of the movie were the dinosaurs each time around. But they... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Jurassic World
We're a pro-dino family. The more teeth, the better. The bigger, the better. So it was a forgone conclusion that we not only had to watch this movie but had to appreciate things about it. But all dino bias aside here's what's good about it... The story couldn't have any entirely new twist in it... Continue Reading →

This was preceded by a mini family vacation to the Northern part of India, a nice, fun wedding, loads of pictures (no surprises there) and some amount of barfing- MLM. But that's not the crux of this post. I... Continue Reading →
The Wild Kingdom…Right At Home!
I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the Serengeti. Snorkel in the clear blue waters of atolls in Maldives. Scuba dive and even be inside a shark cage and see makos and great whites glide by. I'd probably give up the ghost right there if such an opportunity presented itself, truth be told, but one... Continue Reading →
I Know Tedaktal
Doesn't make any sense at all? Well this is such a spelling that even a spell check might not help. So lemme reveal the actual word behind the mangled one- Pterodactyl. Whoo! that's a doozy isn't it? Given that it's not even spelt the way it's pronounced. Anyhoo MLM's learning about dinosaurs at school and... Continue Reading →
