Today is the day that the DeLorean time machine built by Dr. Emmett L. Brown was programmed to travel into the future in the movie “Back To The Future”.
We actually visit this date in the movie “Back To the Future Part II”. The 1980’s vision of the future is very different than the reality we face here in 2015. There are a few things that are close to what the movie predicted. Today is a celebration of this great movie trilogy and how it helped us imagine the future in a different way.

This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies. Set in the era of early rock and roll this movie is stylish and fun.
Today was about old and new attractions at Universal Studios and Island of Adventure. We were hot most of the day and we walked and walked. We ate well too. It’s been a great time here in Orlando. We come home on Thursday.
We all have a movie we have seen so many times that you can quote it almost line by line. For us there are several of them. The dialogue is imprinted on your brain and you feel like you could do a reenactment like you see in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. The whole point of reciting the lines is to have a good time and perhaps annoy some folks in the process.
What is your favorite movie to quote line by line?
It’s time for that classic movie that shows today’s films how to save the world from aliens while obliterating The White House the right way. Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch and a deeply talented cast make this movie a classic. This film is a family classic that we watch each July 4th but this year on July 3rd.
From Wikipedia: Set twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional island of Isla Nublar, where a fully-functioning dinosaur theme park has operated for ten years. The park plunges into chaos when a genetically-modified dinosaur, Indominus rex, breaks loose and runs rampant across the island.
I wasn’t sure what to think about this 4th movie but I enjoyed it. There was a lot to think about in this movie and it continues on the themes of the first movie. They do a great job of linking the past with the present with some differences. Jurassic World is everything the park would be in the future. It makes a commentary on the human condition where we have the need to be entertained in bigger, bolder ways.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are great in this movie along with the rest of the cast that includes Judy Greer, Vincent D’Onofrio and BD Wong. Jimmy Fallon makes a cameo too. Friends I say go see this if you were a fan of the original movie. Expect to be more terrified instead of grossed out. You will sort of know what is coming but there are still some surprises and lots of chaos at times.
