The
Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK is
director Steven Spielberg’s sequel to his original dinosaur
thriller. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) returns for more dino-horror
when, four years after the disaster at the would-be amusement
park, another expedition is mounted by millionaire John Hammond
(Richard Attenborough). To document the natural behavior of the
beasts at a mysterious Site B, Hammond sends a team comprising
Malcolm; Malcolm's girlfriend, paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding
(Julianne Moore); and a wildlife videographer (Vince Vaughn). They
face adversity in the form of a less-than-scrupulous big-game
hunter (Pete Postlethwaite) and, of course, the terrible lizards
themselves. The film is loosely based on Michael Crichton’s
novel THE LOST WORLD, which was named after the 1912 Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle novel of the same name. Spielberg proved his
determination to alternate making socially conscious films with
directing movies of sheer entertainment value; his prior film to
THE LOST WORLD was SCHINDLER’S LIST, and he followed the
dinosaur adventure with AMISTAD.

Rudy
(1993)
One of the most heartwarming tales
ever committed to film, the true story of Daniel E.
"Rudy" Ruettinger (Sean Astin, THE LORD OF THE RINGS
trilogy) is an underdog drama that escapes--for the most part--the
pitfalls of sentimentality. Set in 1960s Joliet, Illinois, Rudy
lives in a staunchly blue-collar steelworkers' community. Despite
his obsession with Notre Dame and college football, Rudy goes to
work in the mill alongside his father and brothers directly after
his high school graduation. It takes the accidental death of his
best friend to inspire Rudy to pursue his dream of playing for
Notre Dame. As everyone in his life is quick to point out, Rudy
lacks the brains, brawn, and financial means to ever achieve his
goal, but he sets out for South Bend just the same, enrolling in a
junior college and trying out for the team as a walk-on.
Eventually Rudy becomes a member of the practice team, where he
displays such a strength of heart and fierceness of will that he
touches and inspires all those around him, including the
groundskeeper, Fortune (Charles Dutton), the tough-talking coach
(Jason Miller), and even his nay saying father (Ned Beatty).
Director David Anspaugh, who scored a previous hit with 1986's
HOOSIERS, delivers an earnest sports film that concentrates on
character and detail, with Sean Astin turning in a remarkably
understated, subtle performance.
