Jurassic World Review - 8/10
22 years ago we were introduced to "Jurassic Park", the proposed theme park where we could go and see dinosaurs in the flesh. While the chaos ensued before the park could open, in "Jurassic World" the park is open to the public and it seems to be doing very well. So well in fact, the owner wants a new attraction, aka dinosaur so terrifying even the adults will have nightmares.
Predictable plot as this new hybrid dinosaur is much smarter than expected and easily gets out of containment. But this is when the action really picks up as they try to track it down before it's able to get to where the people are. Chris Pratt plays a former Navy Seal who has been working with four velociraptors. We see that they obey him and he's built trust and a relationship with each of them.
There are more than a few scenes that are a nod to the original which I enjoyed, the pace of the movie also does a good job with a few light-hearted and comedic moments to relieve the tension. It was fun ride that was more than satisfactory and I'm sure there will be sequels in the near future. 8/10

Spy Review - 8/10
Within the first five minutes of this movie you will get the sense that while you are in for a fun ride with plenty of action, you will also get the same amount, if not more, comedy. Melissa McCarthy is the lead and is sent undercover because the four best agents are all well known by the lead villain (Rose Byrne).
The action that ensues are met with pretty good fight and action choreography, along with the hilarious one liners from the entire cast. I think every line of dialogue spoken by Jason Statham's character was hilarious. All he does is explain his amazing feats and accomplishments which no living human being could possibly have done. He also believes there is a real "face/off" machine from the movie "Face/Off".
Rose Byrne is the villain and even she brings some comedy to the table. She might have the best line in the entire film. You'll know which one when you watch it. All the actors worked perfectly well and I was laughing throughout the entire movie. A solid action/comedy 8/10
