Movie Review Jurassic World rips its way to the record charts Trevorrow’s debut big-budget film trades artistry for action By Ray Wang Staff Writer

Playing off childhood nostalgia and ob- scene levels of hype, Jurassic World was poised to make a record-shattering open- ing weekend. And it did, beating Marvel’s Avengers for the highest-grossing opening of all time. What’s inexplicable, though, is the wide- spread acclaim that the film is receiving. Arts Arts Art S This is the first time greenhorn Colin Trevorrow has directed a big-budget film — and his work has none of the artistry of Spielberg’s original 1993 Jurassic Park. While Spielberg is executive producer of Jurassic World, and has even endorsed the film in

A RTS interviews, the flick benefits from none of his masterful touch. Rather, it’s like Michael Bay violated the screenplay, injecting it with tone-deaf, bloated action. The movie is centered around humans’ mostly futile attempts to kill a genetically altered super-dinosaur. There’s every trope you could ask for: two kids in danger who have to fend for themselves, a big bad greedy UNIVERSAL PICTURES AND AMBLIN ENTERTAINMENT military antagonist, etc. Owen (CHRIS PRATT) attempts to keep the raptors at bay in “Jurassic World”.

It’s fit- but the time lapse isn’t surprising since all to advance the band’s album output.

The track “Anonymous” is a clear nod to the cyber hacktivist group; it includes their trademark catchphrase “So we do not forgive and we do not forget / We are legion, expect us” in a verse and “You can’t stop us / We are Anonymous” in the chorus. My favorite tracks on the album were “Golden Parachutes”, a jab at capitalism and hyper- entitled CEOs (“They’re all betting men who never lose / And float away on golden para- chutes”), and “MariKKKopa,” a (morbidly?) catchy tune about racism and violence in the Arizona town Maricopa. Overall, it’s a strong album — it’s catchy but to the point. You can buy Payola on iTunes or Amazon (or check it out on Spo- tify), and Desaparecidos will be playing at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston on August 4, 2015.
