DinoGator is one of those movies I never thought I’d actually get to see, at least not this side of a bootleg copy. Originally shot in 2016 under the more accurate title CobraGator, it came close to release in 2018, only to disappear into the murky depths of the swamp of lost films. Not even the involvement of the legendary Roger Corman, who served as executive producer, could convince distributors to lure it out, until now. So, was it worth the wait? Well, that really depends on how much you enjoy the taste of cheese.

The story kicks off with a trio of doomed characters venturing into a cave. One of them plays a recorder like a snake charmer’s flute. But instead of charming any creatures,...

The Jurassic Park franchise is one of the most iconic franchises in the world, so its no surprise that the popular 90s sitcom Seinfeld managed to include a cheeky dinosaur reference in the show. It wouldnt be the first time an unrelated movie or TV show referenced an aspect of the dinosaur series, especially since Jurassic Park has such a long-running timeline and expansive lore.

Seinfeld might be a television show about people doing nothing, but Seinfeld was very up-to-date with its pop culture references. In one episode, Jerrys artist ex-girlfriend plagiarizes a monologue from the Neil Simon movie, Chapter 2, in her apology letter to him. Another episode parodied the magic bullet theory from the 1991 film JFK with Jerrys magic loogie theory. However, Seinfeld managed to hide a Jurassic Park Easter egg, and its really exciting.

Actor Peter Spellos had over 150 screen acting and vocal performance credits to his name, but genre fans are most likely to remember him as Orville Ketchum from the slasher movie Sorority House Massacre II and its companion piece Hard to Die, as well as the brief appearance he made as the character Tracy’s father in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Outside of horror, he’s best known for providing the voice of Sky-Byte in 39 episodes of the animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

Recently, a rumor began doing the rounds of the internet which claimed that the filming for Jurassic World 3, has been forced to shut down due to fresh cases of infection among the crew, mere days after filming had restarted after several months of stalled production. Now, Universal has issued a statement to ComicBook.com firmly negating the rumor.

"Any reports indicating that Jurassic World: Dominion has halted production are categorically untrue. The production is headed into its fifth day of shooting tomorrow, and we're thrilled to be back in front of the camera on this incredible project."

The filming of Jurassic Wolrd: Dominion is being studied with bated breath by studios the world over. Hollywood productions are raring to get back to work, but the fear of the spread of infection has kept many multi-million dollar projects on the back burner, resulting in massive losses to the studios and their employees.

If you’ve been following board games for the past couple of years, you will almost certainly heard of Dinosaur Island, which debuted last year in a blockbusting Kickstarter. Finally, after a few relatively modest print runs, the game is back in print and available to buy, and along with it is a big box expansion called Totally Liquid. Today, we’ll be looking at both the base game and the expansion in a back to back review.

For those who haven’t heard of Dinosaur Island, it can broadly be summarised as the board game interpretation of Jurassic Park, albeit with a highly individual art style that uses neon colours like hot pink and bright green to accentuate its features. The game itself is built around a worker placement mechanism and split across several phases, making Dinosaur Island a relatively complex game that will appeal mostly to experienced gamers.

Dinosaurs. Kids on bikes. Aliens. And a little bit of pure madness thrown in for good measure. What's not to love about My Pet Dinosaur? This is almost like Stranger Things and Jurassic Park got together and had a big smiling baby. And it's pure nostalgia magic all the way, if you're into those kinds of things.

Uncork'd Entertainment is proud to release the new trailer for My Pet Dinosaur, a Spielbergian-esque family film that premieres On Demand in October. This fantasy comedy adventure comes from Emmy winner Matt Drummond, and it's described as a cross between E.T and Monster's Inc.

My Pet Dinosaur fixes on the unlikely friendship between a boy and a dinosaur. The cast includes Jordan Dulieu, Annabel Wolfe, Christopher Gabardi (The Thorn Birds: The Missing Years) and Tiriel Mora (Farscape). It featuring state-of-the-art visual effects, which bring this heart-warming tale of friendship and the beautiful Australian countryside to life.

Burbank - Traci Lords was the biggest name in showbiz in 1986, but for all the wrong reasons. She had become a major star in the adult industry. Her run started as Penthouse Pet of the month for the issue that exposed Vanessa Williams in September of 1984. Dozens of video titles appeared as she became the it girl noted for her youthful looks.

There was a reason for her looking so young: she’d used fake IDs to appear 20. She was under 18 in dozens of her adult films. Only one was made after she turned 18. The FBI and other police agencies poured over the valley investigating everyone connected to the industry. In the midst of this ugliness, Traci Lords still dreamed of being an actress. Luckily she found entry into the profession through the gates of Roger Corman’s studio.

She was signed to remake Not of This Earth with Jim Wynorski directing.
