Then he scares you witless. Here come a nosy tyrannosaur and a fan-faced, bilious dilophosaur. Nastiest of all are the velociraptors, smart, relentless punks in packs -- Saurz N the Hood. They have a special appetite for kids, just like the great white shark in the movie that made Spielberg's rep. Now it has some worthy successors: primeval creatures with personality and a lot of bite. Jurassic Park is the true Jaws...

There's something ludicrous about seeing these fantasy Californians grapple with real-world problems like paying the rent and sexual harassment at work. Sort of like watching a discussion of the Yugoslav civil war on Studs...
