On Valle de la Prehistoria’s 11-hectare terrain, entire geological time periods compete for space. Drunk-looking ankylosauruses share the field with a…

Jurassic Park to be re-released in 3D next summer. Let’s hope they “spared no expense”

While we’re thrilled that Jurassic Park is getting a re-release in theaters, we’re not exceedingly happy it will be in 3D.
