Jurassic World: Chaos Theory - The End of the Beginning

The season finale of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory features the Nublar Six staying alive and successfully exposing the black market dinosaur trade. Action is high in the episode that also reveals to the larger group Darius‘ (Paul-Mikél Williams) feelings about their missing friend. Rather than stick around, however, the group decides to follow the stolen dinosaurs to wherever they are being sent suggesting a new locale (likely staring on the ocean?) next season. However, the most notable moment from the episode comes from its epilogue teasing the return of the not-so-dead  Brooklynn (Kiersten Kelly)  in Season Two.

The Marsh King's Daughter

Daisy Ridley stars in this adaptation of the 2017 novel of the same name as a woman still haunted by the conflicting nature of her childhood raised in the Michigan wilderness. We see a bit of Helena’s (Brooklynn Prince) childhood with her domineering father (Ben Mendelsohn) teaching her about nature before mother and daughter escape into a city for the first time and it’s revealed he had kidnapped her mother (Caren Pistorius) years before making her his wife.

This will lead to all four characters reaching the facility in “Into the Fog” snooping for clues and finding Bumpy in the crates of caged dinosaurs who will have another surprise for the group as well.

What Happens in Miami

What Happens in Miami is a lackluster thriller focused on a group of friends Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, Annalisa Cochrane, Rachel Leyco, and Jada Elena Wooten one of whom (Cochrane) goes missing while on spring break. The focus on the film isn’t about the loss of their friend, what happened to her, emotional drama or fallout but instead the girls being afraid of the police who for some unknown reason believe they are better suspects than the missing girl’s drug dealer boyfriend (Christopher Collins) who was with her when she went missing.

The Spanish Prisoner

More than once David Mamet has tapped into the theme of a protagonist being fucked with and when you boil down all the twists and turns of The Spanish Prisoner that’s what you’re left with. Campbell Scott stars as an expert who is putting the finishing touches on a “process” (the details of which are kept vague). What we do know is the company he has created it for stands to make out huge and others, knowing of its worth, want it as well.
