As for Jurassic Park, I think that it is very much a meat and potatoes Spielberg flick. The lack of character depth is the most serious problem with any of his movies, though it does some good in accommodating fast-paced action and themes that can resonate with nearly anyone. My brother absolutely swears by this movie, and I think that nostalgia plays such a huge part. I think my favorite Spielberg movie is Hook, easily. Also, I went to visit his childhood home, which is located in Cincinnati, about half a year ago. Nothing special, but it was weird to see a place where somebody that big-name spent some time growing up. -Donny I recall Arachnid Island…
