Movie Review: Jurassic World

Hey guys, we have had this written for awhile. There will be a schedule of posts coming soon. For now please bear with us as we prepare tons of awesome content for you!
by,  Wing Commander Alice Whitewood

I will attempt to write this spoiler free, but just in case….

SPOILERS!!!

Still with me? Good.  You definitely need to see this film. Expanding where the last movie left off Jurassic World takes some serious risk and paints vivid parallels . The fourth installment of the widely popular franchise pairs seamless visual effects that add to the real fear that these creatures may actually exist   and pulls at the viewers' emotions as conflict arises. There are some awesome throw back and nods to the original movie and the way the main theme is re-purposed and used throughout the film is genius. There was one particular bro moment between the brothers that made me think of Supernatural which was very fitting as these two actors could very well have portrayed young Sam and Dean Winchester (if Supernatural wanted to reboot a back story for the boys).

Offered in 3D AVX and regular viewing doesn’t hold a difference for me. For an action/ adventure film which increases the shakiness of the camera-The film makers were proficient at minimizing this-This movie is not the most kid friendly and creates a vivid reality that could take place if we (as humans) play with the DNA of extinct creatures for satiation of our curiosity.

After thought…

This movie helps create conversation of where humans think they are on the evolutionary chain, and where we actually are. I sometimes wonder what is being reflected in movies is less about fantasy for entertainment and more a warning of what has potential to be reality?

Down the Rabbit hole We Go, Welcome to Rebel Heart Penguin



Down the rabbit hole would describe the start of my comic book adventure accurately.  Knowing that the world of conventions, fandoms and comics is elaborate, expansive and unique only added to the appeal.

I know there are an infinite number of comic resources out there. Where does one begin. ( I have found myself scrolling through some useful links and some not so useful sites). Thank goodness my boyfriend (who used to manage a comic shop is- to me- a walking dictionary and had some great recommendations of where to start.

Rebel Heart Penguin is not trying to reinvent the wheel , we want to be a community resource. Building up fandoms, creating conversation in support of a mutual love of all fandoms and a possible mental health resource providing information within the world where many comic loving people exist.

The people who participate in fandoms are some of the most passionate and engaging people I have had the pleasure of meeting over the internet. This blog is meant to be a community belonging to all people.  that being said the goal is to have multiple voices on a variety of topics. From show reviews, comic reviews, to book reviews and maybe even convention coverage! Some really great content comes from the many conventions that exist in support of great comics, TV, and books. With that being said I am passionate about mental health and there will be the occasional post regarding information I have found that in my opinions may be beneficial to the readers of this blog. Then I will share.

Above all this blog will be a positive space for people to share, comment and participate in the discussion of the fandom of their choosing and with that being said keep things positive there is a NO tolerance on bullying.

If you have opinions on what we post, feedback or want to be apart of the  blog please email us

Looking forward to talking with all of you!
